I have never been able to develop the habit of writing down my mileage whenever I drive somewhere for business. My accountants have let me calculate my annual business miles by using the calculations I obtain from Google Maps.
Simply plug in your start and end destinations into an online map program, map it out and print it. Write down the date, where you went and the purpose of your trip on the sheet. The total miles is your one way trip mileage. Multiply that by 2 and that’s your round trip mileage. If you went to several destinations, map the distance for each one.

Dear Savvy Doula,
I’m preparing to speak to some new business owners next week about my businesses. I was asked to share lessons I learned, and thought I’d share some of my insights with you.
As background, I started my first business with my husband — an asset liquidation company and office furniture store. We started in our home and now have two warehouses and about 25 employees. We started the company because my husband had been laid off, so we succeeded because this was our livelihood and we were determined to make it work. In some respects we were at the right place at the right time.
