Which offices are up for election during the primary?

In the primary election, both parties are selecting their representative to go to the November General Election.   A point of clarification, many people are confused over this issue and do not vote in the primary.  If a voter votes in the primary, the voter is not obligated to vote one way or another in the General Election.   So go ahead and help select the best candidates to be on the ballot in November.  Another…

Why are the elections so late this year?  This is an excellent question and complicated.  As you recall, the Federal Census Bureau took a census in 2010.  The results of the 2010 census revealed how the population had changed since 2000, basically how many people are now living in the United States and where they are living.  The census also outlines where people of different ethnicity live.  The population in Texas has grown so that Texas is allotted 4 more representatives in the Federal…

Ladies, Play Nice!

The last couple of years I have done a ton of networking and have had the opportunity to meet hundreds (or probably thousands) of people. I must say that I really enjoy this part of my job. I love talking to new people and getting to know them. Some of them I have ended up doing business with and some have become really good friends. It’s definitely a perk of the…

Greetings Everyone,

I will be moving into the area within the next month, and wanted to reach out in regards to Houston CPAs.

I am looking into it myself, but I wish to utilize all possible resources before making a decision. Thanks in advance for the help. God Bless.

Ever sit around with friends and the topic of elections comes up and you really do not want to admit that you do not know what a primary is? Or understand what the 2010 Census has to do with elections? This series is designed to answer those questions that you were afraid to ask.

How does one get elected? It is different for each state and for each position. For a partisan race, that is a race where a candidate is supported by a political party, the candidate must get the nomination…

Hi everyone!

It has been a great experience for me and I have been able to form solid relationships with many different business owners and networkers. The InHouston Heights Mixer takes place the first Tuesday of every month and is currently being held at the…

How you show up every day, does most certainly set the tone for how your day will unfold. Do you wake up every morning spring out of bed, energised and fired up by the prospect of tackling your day? I refer to this as my daily activation energy. When you wake up and consciously force yourself to get out of bed, energised and ready to tackle whatever comes your way that day, you are effectively setting the tone for an energised and productive day. On the other hand when you wake…

By just looking at someone, can you tell what they have been through or what they are capable of achieving? In fact just looking at yourself in the mirror every day, can you tell what you are capable of achieving? The truth is it does not matter where you have been or what has happened in your past, all that matters is where you are going or rather where you are going to end up. The direction you choose for your life and the place you finally end up is directly proportional to your…

We all have habits, both good ones, which support our efforts to attract success into our lives and bad ones, which keep us from taking the daily actions we need to take, to succeed. If you have any doubt about the power of your habits and how they can keep you locked in a cycle of mediocrity, try this simple test. Cross your arms in front of you. Now look down and see which one of your arms is on the top. Research has shown that about half the population will normally have their…

When you arrive in any situation where you are investing time with the members of your team, what is your state of mind? Do you walk into the meeting thinking “I am here” or do you walk into the room thinking “there you are” Both states elicit very different responses from both you and the people you are dealing with. When you arrive in a room, focusing your energy on your own self-importance, with your chest puffed up looking around to see who has noticed that you have arrived. You…
