One of Wisest Investments a Person Can Make
One of Wisest Investments a Person Can Make
There are so many benefits to starting or building a business. It provides more personal satisfaction, tax benefits and the opportunity to scale up. I've done the brick and mortar, franchise route, as well as part time home-based businesses. In many ways, this is easier and less stressful than most other vehicles or JOBS.

Pay Yourself First
People often say you need to Pay Yourself First. What does that mean? Well, that depends upon your personal situation. If you own a business, you want to utilize any and all deductions and expenses you possibly can before reporting your earnings and those of your business to Uncle Sam. Take advantage of the SEP (self-employed persons) IRA or similar retirement plan and max it out. Assemble and work with a solid team of professionals to help ensure you stay on track and maximize your income and benefits.
If you are working for the man, you are in the highest tax bracket. That said, there are ways to mitigate the taxes you pay, and paying yourself first is one of them. How? One way to do this is by increasing your pretax contributions to an employee-sponsored retirement plan. Yes, these tend to have lots of fees hidden fees, but it’s a solid way to effectively plan for the future and increase your income by lowering your tax bracket. How much should you put aside each month? Ideally, 10-15%–more if you can. Most people do not contribute more than 4-6% of their gross earnings to a retirement plan. The goal is to save about a hour’s worth of income each day. Look at your hourly wage. If you are paid every two weeks, totaling 80 hours, are you setting aside eight (8) hours of pretax pay?
The benefits can add up quickly, especially if your employer makes contributions to your plan as well.
