For success, consider a different path than your peers

One thing I always suggest to my small business brothers and sisters is to, whenever possible, “do the opposite.” For instance, when everyone else is flooding Facebook or Instagram with ads, it is probably a good time to look to advertise elsewhere.

As none other than Warren Buffet has said (paraphrasing here), “Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful.”

Potential changes to independent contractor rules may impact many illinois businesses

Many small businesses rely on independent contractors, freelancers and other gig-workers to perform needed tasks.

The advantages are significant: by using an independent contractor we can avoid paying payroll taxes and other costs of employment like workers’ compensation and have the flexibility of choosing when and where we use a person’s service. The popularity of the “gig-economy” has exploded in the past few years.

But this may change soon. That’s because new worker classification rules from the US Department of Labor are likely to come into effect shortly. And the impact of these rules could be significant for many.
