Keep What You Earn

Today on the podcast we welcome on Jannese Torres-Rodriguez. She is a personal finance expert, host of Yo Quiero Dinero podcast, and multi-business owner. Jannese's claim to fame is that she's had over 10 different side hustle businesses that brought in over $100,000 annually, which allowed her to pay off debts and start building generational wealth. We will deep dive into her journey through getting an education, working a corporate job, and then realizing that there was more to life than living the "safe" path that society expects. We will also discuss the importance of being a lifelong learner and the benefits that individuals can reap from this as they seek additional business opportunities. >>>Connect with Jannese on IG @yoquierodineropodcast or online at www.yoquierodineropodcast.com >>>Also check out her 6-Week Intensive Mastermind at https://sidehustlemoguls.podia.com/the-blogging-blueprint-6-week-blogging-intensive-mastermind >>> Text me!: https://my.community.com/shannonweinsteincpa >>> Fitnancial Solutions Accounting Suite: https://www.fitnancialsolutions.com/accounting >>> Find me on IG @shannonweinstein: https://www.instagram.com/shannonkweinstein >>> Catch me in-person on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMlIuZsrllp1Uc_MlhriLvQ >>> Join my Keep What You Earn: Financial Empowerment for Entrepreneurs group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fitnancial >>> Featured in Yahoo Finance!

In today's episode, we are going to talk all about how to deduct your vacation. This is one of the most common questions I get asked... How do I navigate deducting this? Should I be deducting this? Is this allowed? It's definitely a more gray area for my entrepreneur clients. But I'm here to tell you that you have the capability to deduct a lot more than you think you do. You're going to learn all about that in today's episode. *Additional note/correction: When a trip is considered majority business, costs like airfare and transportation are 100% deductible but meals and lodging would still be based on the percentage of business time spent. If the trip is not majority business, the airfare and transportation to/from the destination would not be deductible. In short: it can be complicated, so meet with your CPA to plan your trip! >>> Text me!: https://my.community.com/shannonweinsteincpa >>> Fitnancial Solutions Accounting Suite: https://www.fitnancialsolutions.com/accounting >>> Find me on IG @shannonweinstein: https://www.instagram.com/shannonkweinstein >>> Catch me in-person on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMlIuZsrllp1Uc_MlhriLvQ >>> Join my Keep What You Earn: Financial Empowerment for Entrepreneurs group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fitnancial >>> Featured in Yahoo Finance!

In my opinion, reading books is critical to gaining a proper mindset in business. I also feel that it is important to reread certain books at different stages of your business because you will learn new things each time as in general, we apply what we are learning to what we are going through at that moment. The book that I want to discuss today is "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind". There is a quote in the book inspired me so much that I wanted to share it with you: "You will be paid in direct proportion to the value you deliver according to the marketplace". In today's episode we will deep dive into why this quote is so inspirational for me and how we can apply this in business to exponentially grow our wealth. >>>Link to the book: https://amzn.to/3CTP66O >>> Text me!: https://my.community.com/shannonweinsteincpa >>> Fitnancial Solutions Accounting Suite: https://www.fitnancialsolutions.com/accounting >>> Find me on IG @shannonweinstein: https://www.instagram.com/shannonkweinstein >>> Catch me in-person on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMlIuZsrllp1Uc_MlhriLvQ >>> Join my Keep What You Earn: Financial Empowerment for Entrepreneurs group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fitnancial >>> Featured in Yahoo Finance!

I kind of have a reputation on social media for being totally against doing business through PayPal and Venmo! Every time I post about this, it's a polarizing topic. And listen, I am not here to judge! I simply want to use this episode to share with you the reasons I choose to use other forms of payment processors. Tune in to hear the top 3 reasons why you should ditch PayPal and Venmo (PS, reason #1 is compelling enough, but tune in for all 3 reasons so your mind can really be blown). >>> Text me!: https://my.community.com/shannonweinsteincpa >>> Fitnancial Solutions Accounting Suite: https://www.fitnancialsolutions.com/accounting >>> Find me on IG @shannonweinstein: https://www.instagram.com/shannonkweinstein >>> Catch me in-person on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMlIuZsrllp1Uc_MlhriLvQ >>> Join my Keep What You Earn: Financial Empowerment for Entrepreneurs group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fitnancial >>> Featured in Yahoo Finance!

Sometimes as entrepreneurs, we convince ourselves that cutting certain corners is going to save us money. We may not necessarily think of it as cutting corners but we definitely come up with little strategies along the way that are considered "short cuts". What I'm talking about are the well-intentioned attempts to save money in the short term, by doing something that deviates from normal behavior ever so slightly. And when you spend a lot of energy on micro-actions that are designed to save money in the short term, you may actually be costing yourself more money....in the long term. In this episode, I'm going to walk through four ways that you're allowing yourself to focus on those micro-actions too much. And how these actions actually limit the expansion of your business in a very real way. >>> Text me!: https://my.community.com/shannonweinsteincpa >>> Fitnancial Solutions Accounting Suite: https://www.fitnancialsolutions.com/accounting >>> Find me on IG @shannonweinstein: https://www.instagram.com/shannonkweinstein >>> Catch me in-person on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMlIuZsrllp1Uc_MlhriLvQ >>> Join my Keep What You Earn: Financial Empowerment for Entrepreneurs group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fitnancial >>> Featured in Yahoo Finance!
