Topic I’m focusing on:
Helping business owners reduce their tax burden through year round tax planning

The referral cue I want Members to notice:
A business owner who says something like “I got crushed in taxes this year” or “I just send everything to my tax guy and he sorts it out”

Six key points Members will learn to recognize:

1. Someone who only thinks about taxes in March or April
2. A business owner who is surprised by their tax bill every year
3. Someone who is unsure about quarterly estimated payments
4. A business owner not using strategies like retirement plans or entity structure to lower taxes
5. Someone whose income has grown but their tax strategy has not changed
6. A business owner who treats taxes as a once a year task instead of something to plan for

How consistency will make referrals clearer for us:

The more I consistently talk about tax planning as a year round process, the easier it becomes to spot the right referral. When you hear someone treating taxes like something that only happens at filing time, that is the signal. Over time, it becomes clear that I help people stay ahead of their taxes instead of reacting to them after the fact.
