In This Episode A bit late is better than never. This is the July 2018 monthly report. Links * Austin Podcasters * Cashflow Diaries * Microcosm Publishing * Smart Passive Income * Toggle Time Tracker * Trello * Google Keep Show Credits Hosted, produced, mixed, edited & music by Mark. Blog Why Publish A Business Report? Publishing my business report allows me to reflect back on the month to see what I did or didn’t do so well. Lastly, I have read blog income reports such as SmartPassiveIncome and I like to see what they have tried. It is a form of motivation for me and I hope that this can be one for someone else. Be sure to check out CashFlowDiaries for bloggers that share their blog income reports. Or one that I’ve recently found from publisher Microcosm Publishing. July 2018 Business Report Disclaimer: Any income reported will only be reported as “cash” in hand. If it did not deposit into my account, or if I didn’t cash a check, then it does not count as income. Additionally, income will only be reported for ApexThis business and not for personal income. I may discuss side hustles for additional side income, but only income in which I represent ApexThis will be counted.  Income/Investment Report Investment – $0.00 Expense Report RawVoice (Blubrry) – ($12) Blubrry is a service I used to host the podcasts for Admins of Atlassian and ApexThis. It has built-in integration with WordPress making it vastly easier to upload and maintain the podcasts. Google Apps – ($10) I use Google Apps for email primary, docs and drive. It’s also great to use my Google account as authentication to other services and apps. Adobe Suite – ($54) Zero – ($9) Overall * Total Income/Investments – $0 * Total Expense – ($85) * Total Net – ($85) Hours Worked Time Logged – 21hrs     What Happened? Business Administrative – 2hrs 45m What is administrative? Oh you know, budgets, planning, and all the other non-fun stuff. I’ve been cleaning up a lot of mini-projects to get them out the door as well as reorganizing, planning, and idea dumping. This also includes research and work getting a sales permit. Which leads to the next thing…the store. Podcast – 5hrs 27m This is time for the June monthly update. For this time, I included this entire blog write up, recording and editing. I think the write-up should be separate since it aligns more with business functions as I am reviewing some goals (listed and unlisted) as well as other things. Going forward, I will track the compilation and reflection of data separately from the actual recording. Store – 3hrs 30m Last month I stated that I was creating a store, primarily to help support the Austin Podcasters community by selling awesome t-shirts. I will also be slipping into other basic t-shirt designs and hopefully in the future, other fun experimental projects. Though, I must say that this isn’t a big launch effort and isn’t really my main focus, therefore,
