A tip to keep check of your accounts is to balance them each month just a brief summary of what has come in and what has come out. Keep all receipts in a file but keep ur monthly summary as reference for when you need to balance the books. This will stop a big headache when it comes to counting receipts at the end of the year. Hope this helps.

Nice and informative post. I want to run my own business soon, so I'll keep this in mind. There are so many options to running a business that lately I've been thinking about buying a business instead of starting one from scratch. I'm not sure what kind of format though. Franchise? Non-franchise? Home-based? I don't know. Do you have any suggestions or advice? Thanks.
@ Robin - Yeah, there are a lot of options, which can be good and bad. It's best to do as much research and due diligence before you make a final decision. If you really want to buy a business, then I suggest searching the Internet to what is available in your area. There are sites, like BizTrader.com, which are online global marketplaces where you can buy and sell businesses. They can also provide you with additional resources like finding a lender, broker, etc.
I also suggest checking out current books and magazines for help and advice. Local small business groups can also be very helpful, and it doesn't hurt to network.
Good luck!
