You are a savvy business owner. Part of your business acumen includes knowledge of potential tax credits that can benefit your bottom line. However, the words “potential for audit” linger in the back of your mind.
Second chances. Songs have been written about the concept, movies made, proverbs spoken, and tales told. We grant them to our spouses, to our friends, our children, co-workers, and even strangers.
Chances are, you or someone you know has at some point in their lives worked in a restaurant, bar, or coffee shop. Maybe you washed dishes at the local dinner after school to save up for that car; maybe your college roommate served up rich espressos between classes to pay for books; or perhaps your family member waited tables in a tavern to cover the bills.
Fish and chips. Batman and Robin. Steak and eggs. Hall and Oates. Bacon and…everything.
Some things are good all on their own: sink your teeth into a chunk of velvety milk chocolate or slip a spoonful of creamy peanut butter across your tongue. Yum. Now put them together…and you’ve got a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. “Two great tastes that taste great together.”

We’ve all heard the saying “In life, there are winners and there are losers.” And often this holds true: only one boxer grabs the heavyweight championship title, only one salesperson earns the “Highest Sales” award, only one instructor will be crowned “Teacher of the Year,” only one student snags first place in the science fair…even flipping a coin to determine who has to do the dishes…there’s always a winner and a loser.

The swing of a baseball bat, the delivery of a comedian’s punchline, leaving work five minutes late, or gathering enough courage to strike up a conversation before the next train stop…all moments that can make a difference.
