It’s super difficult to have a good money mindset if you have a fear around a certain topic of money. And I’ve found that one of the most common fears out there is taxes. That’s why I’m so grateful for people like today’s guest, certified tax coach Diane Gardner, who help quiet those fears by arming you with knowledge that helps you navigate the tax space.   Diane’s goal is to help her clients (and others) pay as little taxes as possible (legally). When it comes to taxes, so many people fear the unknown and that’s why Diane coaches her clients to know the basics of tax planning.   If you’re an entrepreneur who tends to be nervous about taxes, prepare to take notes and soak up the value of our conversation. Diane shares so much priceless knowledge in regard to the new tax cuts, the different business structures, what you can and can’t write off – and so much more. I learned so many new things (not a lot of good news for my taxes), and I can’t wait to hear how these tips help you too!   --      Question Highlights: What is one of your superpowers? Who is someone who’s changed your life? What is one of your favorite quotes? What’s one regret that you have? Why do taxes strike such a fear in people? What should people be doing to help mitigate their fears? Are taxes a good thing or bad thing? Who wins with the new tax cuts? What are some of the changes we should be excited about? What are some of the urban legends out there about things that people can or can’t write off? What are some common pitfalls when it comes to taxes? What’s the best way to make tax payments? Why do you like masterminds so much? Who is your perfect type of client?   In This Episode We Talk about: The fear of the unknown when it comes to taxes Whether taxes are good or bad things Ways to pay as little taxes as possible How different states view taxes and LLCs The differences between a sole proprietorship (schedule C), LLC, S-Corp and C-Corp The recent changes in tax cuts What a QBI deduction is and who can and can’t take advantage of it What can and can’t be written off The basics of tax planning Why keeping mileage logs are necessary The importance of keeping receipts The different types of meals that can be written off Philanthropy and donation write-offs Why it’s beneficial to pair advertising with philanthropy Masterminds And so much more… --   Diane’s Thoughts…   “Look for strategies that fit you in your business, not strategies that just fit business overall.”   “If we don’t give back to our community and those around us, we don’t thrive in business.”   “Once you start giving back, you open yourself up to receive blessings from other people.”   -- Diane Gardner is a Certified Tax Coach and best-selling author whose proactive planning approach helps clients dodge the tax bullet.

It wasn’t until Diane was able to stand up for herself and create processes and systems, that her business started taking off and excelling. The Wake Up Call Diane was stuck in a verbally abusive marriage for 17 years.

That mindset helped Diane develop her voice and see that she had an important message to share. Style of Leadership Diane doesn’t associate herself with titles; she is just part of her team. Those titles can be intimidating to some and Diane wants to be relatable to the members on her team. What Are You Excited About?

Two things in life are guaranteed: death and taxes. At least that is how the saying goes. But what if the taxes part did not have to be as big a number as you think it has to be? What if you could use the system to lower your taxes? Would you? My guest today is one of 400 certified tax coaches in the United States and is all about tax strategy. You know that strategy is my favorite word so I had to have her on my show. I have been blessed with wonderful tax planners and accountants during my life but not everyone has access to one or even understands the difference in the type of tax professionals. Tax strategy is all about meeting with your tax professional more than once-a-year when you drop the box of receipts on their desk and say what do I owe. It involves them getting to know you, your business and your goals. What it is not is just preparing the tax return. My guest shares some simple and often overlooked key strategies you can use in your business to immediately begin reducing your taxes. We also discuss what can be deducted as a business expense when dining and vacationing and what cannot. This is a not to be missed episode, well I think they all are!
