Interesting. Especially the last part. Making things coherent is important. Advances are often out of the picture. But using a tool that allows 3rd party access and gives a view of the step by step process breakdown to clients often lends that perceived quality. Not just with people we haven’t met - even with people we have met because it just feels a lot more professional. So we use Deskaway (a step up over basecamp when i last checked mostly due to the presence of charts and advanced reporting) - and the interface is as neat. But either way what you are saying helps.

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about PayPal. I have used them for nearly a decade without a single hitch. I was considering getting the debit card, though I cant really see any benefit over my bank card. I don’t know if I would want to carry another card either. Though my income is slowly transferring over to PayPal, so maybe when the day comes, I will abandon my bank (I don’t much like banks anyway)

Peace,

Lucas

Going into business with a friend or spouse is difficult, but i’ve seen it done successfully. It takes the right mix of people who are willing to put their relationship first and walk away from the business before they walk away from family.

Another great tool to consider is Intervals, a web-based time tracking and task management app for freelancers who wished Basecamp could do more.

Interesting change of writing style and format. A bit more difficult to follow than prior posts due largely, I believe, in the complexity of the subject matter.
Well…………….at least I’m not asking for any pictures on this one.
