Keep accurate records

Accurate record keeping is the basis of all successful business. Here are some useful tips:

1. Have a place for your receipts and staple them to file-sized paper before filing. Often, the receipts from credit cards, restaurants, gasoline stations are small and can easily be lost in a shuffle of papers, paper clips and stuffed file cabinets.
2. Have a table of contents for retiring all receipts and information when necessary.
3. When dealing with paper work, remember to touch it only once. Use the T.R.A.F.

       rule:

• Throw it away instantly if it serves no purpose for your goals.
• Refer it or delegate it and mark your calendar for follow-up.
• Act immediately if it will benefit you or others who depend on you.
• File it now. Don’t pile it.
