Liberty is defined as the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one’s way of life, behavior, or political views.

WOW! And to say it backwards, WOW!

For every person that listens to this show you have to find your own definition of what liberty or liberation means for you in your life, your family, in your business, and to yourself.

In this episode I address some concerns surrounding the use of that word in the SBSU Podcast.

This episode’s STARTUP HERO IS….SANDY BOTKIN: CPA, TAX ATTORNEY & IRS TAX AGENT TRAINER

When I first started learning about tax deductions, I COULD NOT get a straight answer on how to properly record tax deductions for the current year. Sandy Botkin’s books and his AMAZING APP Taxbot literally saved me thousands of dollars in my business. Even though there are many apps out there, and most of them good, Taxbot is my absolute favorite!

In this episode we cover the importance of operating in a the right business.

**According to a November 2013 study by website CareerBuilder, about one-third (31 percent) of college-educated American workers age 35 and older are never employed within their degree field.**

To prevent this from happening to you in your new business, and avoid wasting thousands of dollars we cover:

* Don’t solely join a line of business because it makes money, join because it’s an actual desire of yours or something you’re good at.

* Many of us have multiple gifts and talents, but like Confucius said, “The man who chases two rabbits catches none.”

* Once you’ve decided the business you want to start, know where you are to know the route of where you’re going to go.

* Learn what to do when your best may not be enough.

* Learn to Identify the business that’s really for you.

On today’s show I cover what to expect from the Small Business Startup by the power of creating S.Y.S.T.E.M.S. around your passion to start your new business and how not to lose thousands of dollars like I did.
