Business owners intertwine business and personal finances all too often. After all, you are your business, but muddling up the two will mean a mess at tax time.
Even if you’re just starting out, it’s essential to split up these two parts of your money life. Treat your business, big or small, like a viable entity.
“That starts with tracking your business expenses separately from your personal, even though initially it may feel like they are one in the same if you are a one-man shop,” says Cynthia Heil, a certified financial planner with Cascade Financial Management in Tampa, Fla. Read more »
Between the beaches and the jagged peaks of the Sierra Blanca mountains sits Marbella’s old town – its Moorish casco antiguo – an unexpected pocket of peaceful, cobble-stoned charm and antiquity among the southern Spanish resort town’s modern mix of working local life and tourist trappings.
Most buyers in this part of the Costa del Sol scuttle to the holiday complexes near the beach or villas in the hills – homes with pools, lawns and parking spaces. But Marbella’s historic centre, an enclave of whitewashed houses, shady squares and family-owned restaurants, offers something that a new development never can. Read more »
The city of Marbella was founded by Muslims who established its overall structure and architecture. Before the Muslims came, there were several different villages and cultures within the area of Marbella, the ruins of which can still be visited today. In the old part of the city, you can still find the influence of the Romans.
In 711, the Moors, led by Al-Tarik, came to Spain through the area that today is called Tarifa. Marbella was the perfect location for the Arabs to settle due to its proximity to Tarifa.

If you’ve ever walked into a retail store and wondered why certain music is playing, there may, in fact, be some rhyme and reason to the selection.
Research has shown that consumers shop longer and make more purchases when they’re exposed to music. You can use music to make your store so appealing people may want to return — even if they don’t have any buying plans. “We’re often told that because of our atmosphere, customers come into our shop on days when they need a pick-me-up or to simply relax and recharge,” says Ann O’Shields, owner of The Nest Egg, a home-furnishings shop in Fairfax, Va. “We play upbeat music and enjoy seeing our customers singing along as they shop.”
Of course, it’s important to make the right musical match with your target customers. For instance, if you’re selling upscale products, the best choice is probably classical or jazz.
In addition, music can help engage employees. “Ongoing research shows that music can boost performance in the workplace by reducing employee stress and depression, improving employee retention and saving companies significant amount of money,” says Joe Lamond, president and CEO of the National Association of Music Merchants, a music industry nonprofit in Carlsbad, Calif.
