As the holiday season approaches, we're all thinking about the celebrations, gift giving, and general joy that we experience during this time. But as the year comes to a close, we should also be thinking about our finances and the tax bill that may come in the new year.

Thant's why in this episode of the podcast, although it isn't as exciting and uplifting as the holidays, I wanted to talk about some tax planning you can do now that may reduce that tax bill next April.

In this episode you will learn:

- How to maximize retirement contributions for tax benefits.
- About contributing to HSAs and FSAs for healthcare tax deductions.
- Why you should regularly review and update your tax withholdings.
- Why you should explore family and education tax credits.
- About reviewing your investment portfolio for tax-efficient strategies.

No matter the size of a family business, the owner is an entrepreneur. This is an important realization, as having an entrepreneurial mindset is key to the success and growth of any business.

That's why in this episode of the podcast I talk to Danielle Hayden of Kickstart Accounting about the entrepreneurial mindset, how to create a financial vision for your small business, and how to make sure that business weathers bad times.

In this episode you will learn:

- How to transform your money mindset
- About creating a financial vision for your business
- About achieving financial fluency so you can interpret your financial data
- How to recession-proof your business
