Jot Thought

If you look up the IRS instructions for tracking business miles, you won’t find the word odometer. And yet most solutions in the market ask for starting and ending odometer readings to calculate mileage.

We wrote a post about a better way to calculate mileage over on our Paybackable blog, including how we’ve made it easier to do so from Paybackable itself.

Self employment is about to get easier…

We have officially moved into private alpha on Bootstrap, our first major homegrown application. We aren’t saying much about it at this point while select users are banging away on it. But we can say this - it will definitely increase the time an entrepreneur can spend growing a business, rather than dealing with the hassles of running it. It’s entirely web-based and will work on all the major browsers…:-)

If you would like to learn more about Bootstrap, go to our home page at www.gobootstrap.com and submit your email. We’ll keep you posted as we open access to more folks and unveil specific features.
