Annual Tax Mess Organizer by Kiki Canniff, Retired Tax Consultant


 
It is easy to find someone to prepare a small-business return, but unless you know what the IRS expects, your tax return will never be accurate. Chances are, without this book you will not take all the deductions allowed. This book simplifies IRS tax laws as they apply to independently employed people, and teaches them a simple method for getting every tax deduction allowed.

Learn what self-employed people can and cannot deduct, how to quickly sort receipts, document income, handle inventory, produce audit-proof records, and create a simple report with all of the numbers necessary to prepare a Schedule C tax return. Take the forms in this book to your tax professional, or use them to complete your own tax forms; instructions for preparing a Schedule C tax return are included in the book.

Last updated 2021.

Smart Bitches Buy Bitcoin by Branden LaNette and Andrea Waltz

 


Are you confused by Bitcoin? Do you want to learn about it and take control of your finances? Branden LaNette and Andrea Waltz show us how in Smart Bitches Buy Bitcoin. Check out this excerpt before you download your own copy and also check out the rest of the tour. Leave more questions along the way! Best of luck entering the giveaway.



It seems like everyone’s talking about Bitcoin these days. Still, a lot of people just don’t get it. Or they assume Bitcoin is just for tech-savvy millennial guys or rich investors like Elon Musk.

As for women, many of us didn't get a great financial education. Some of us shy away from conversations about money and investing especially if it has to do with the crazy world of cryptocurrencies.

What to do? Start with this brand new short, fun, and easy read,"Smart Bitches Buy Bitcoin: A Simple Guide for Women Who Want to Learn the Truth About Bitcoin and Control Their Financial Future.”

The book is designed to help women understand the current financial situation, why Bitcoin could be the life raft they need, and how to get started investing in it. Don’t leave your economic future to chance just because it seems scary or confusing and this is the perfect book to get you started.


Read an excerpt:
Most young girls have dreams of living a fairy tale life. We know we did. (Branden even wrote a fabulous book about it!) The problem with the dream is we expect that fairy tale life to be handed to us. As we get older, we figure out that’s b.s.; even if we do get the fairy tale life, we’ve got to work our Cinderella-asses off for it.

Maybe you can relate.

One of the most terror-filled moments for most of us is the realization that no one is coming to save us.

No one.

It’s easy to blame others because things didn’t work out the way we thought they would. It’s the world’s fault. And the government’s fault. And rich people’s fault. And… and… and…

The truth is, where we find ourselves at any given moment in time is our fault; at a minimum it’s our responsibility.

The fairy tale is possible. We can be saved. But if you want to have the life of your dreams, you’re going to have to save yourself. Bitcoin is the tool to do exactly that.

If you want Bitcoin to go to work for you, you’re going to have to buy some Bitcoin.


About Branden LaNette

Branden LaNette doesn’t look like a typical author but she has long ignored what she “should” do, say and look like. On her own at a very young age, Branden eventually found herself with the wrong guy, the wrong job, and a bleak future. The fairytale she was promised as a child never materialized.

Finally, Branden decided that she wanted something different for her life, and realized no one was going to do it for her. Prince charming wasn’t coming to save her—she’d have to save herself.

Step by step, decision by decision, through major trials and tribulations that would stop most people in their tracks, Branden learned how to turn heartbreak into happiness and self-judgement into inner joy.

Today, Branden LaNette is an entrepreneur, coach, speaker, wife, and stay-at-home Mom to six C-section babies (ages 1-16) and way too many f-ing pets. Somehow, however, she manages to juggle all of this effortlessly (a blatant lie) while pushing her way through the kinds of fear and self-doubts that whisper within all of us (totally true) to achieve her goals. Her most recent dream come true is this book, one that is destined to have a major impact on millions of women across the globe (or at least nine people in Michigan.)

Through it all, she has found her happiness, her joy, and more importantly, her voice.

Mastering the Money Mindset: Your Road to Riches by H. Warren Browne

I was compensated via Fiverr for sharing this book. I only share those that I feel my readers may be interested in. Please note that affiliate links are also present in this post. If you make a purchase through one, I may earn a small commission to help me support my websites.



Mastering the Money Mindset


Mastering the Money Mindset is the first, but most important, step on the Road to Riches.

Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill, Rockefeller, Warren Buffett - what do they have in common? They mastered the money mindset and had money work for them...instead of the other way around.

No-one can embark on that journey to real riches without first understanding the importance of our view of money, how we interact with it, how we attract it or repel it. Do we have a healthy respect for money? Do we desire it? Or do we act as if we are not worthy enough to possess it? Do we consider wealth as wicked, or do we value the power that such resources can provide, the power to make a difference in our lives and the lives of so many others.

Without the proper money mindset you will never possess the level of wealth that is your potential. The purpose of this succinct and salient synthesis of life-altering lessons is to coach you, to open your mind to the idea of possessing real riches, to drive you to desire it so badly that it is not a matter of if but when. This concise and critical work is designed to stimulate your mind with money-making tips and ideas to get you started on that road to riches, to train you to maximize your full money potential.

This money mindset is the foundation for the art of making money. This work will provide you with the firm footing required to make this happen. It will teach you how to desire it, pursue it, act on that driving desire, and achieve it. It will be that catalyst which will launch your money creativity and creation.

Read, re-read this guide, then run, don't walk, down your ROAD to RICHES.

'Crowdfunding for Social Good: Financing Your Mark on the World' by Devin D. Thorpe Book Tour Blast!

Crowdfunding for Social Good: Financing Your Mark on the World

by Devin D. Thorpe Over the last year of writing my Forbes blog, I have had the opportunity to really dig deeply into the world of crowdfunding. I’ve just completed my first draft of my new book, Crowdfunding for Social Good: Financing Your Mark on the World.

The book is a guide to successful crowdfunding for people who want to change the world.

The book is not a sequel to my book, Your Mark On The World, but it is written in the same spirit. I’ve studied a dozens of successful crowdfunding campaigns, interviewing the people behind them to learn their secrets for success.

Devin's Book, Your Mark on the World, was downloaded over 75,000 times and reached the #19 spot on Amazon's free book list--among all free books. It remains on the top 50 free nonfiction books at Amazon.

Available in Paperback


About Devin:

Devin D. Thorpe thinks he is the luckiest person alive. After being “let go” from the best job he’d ever had—as the Chief Financial Officer of the multinational food and beverage company MonaVie—he and his wife ended up living in China for a year where he wrote Your Mark On The World and embarked on the career he’d always wanted yet hadn’t dared dream.

Now, as an author, a popular guest speaker and Forbes contributor, Devin is devoted full time to championing social good. His current life isn’t much like his past.

As an entrepreneur, Devin ran—at separate times—a boutique investment banking firm and a small mortgage company. He served as the Treasurer for the multinational vitamin manufacturer USANA Health Sciences years before becoming CFO for MonaVie. Over his career he led or advised on the successful completion of $500 million in transactions. Devin squeezed in two brief stints in government, including two years working for Jake Garn on the U.S. Senate Banking Committee Staff and another year working for an independent state agency called USTAR, where he helped foster technology entrepreneurship during Governor Jon Huntsman’s administration.

Devin is proud to have graduated from the University of Utah David Eccles School of Business, which recognized him as a Distinguished Alum in 2006. He also earned an MBA at Cornell University where he ran the student newspaper, Cornell Business.

Today, Devin channels the idealism of his youth with the loving support of his wife, Gail. Their son Dayton is a PhD candidate in Physics at UC Berkeley (and Devin rarely misses an opportunity to mention that).

Review of 'Get Out of Debt and Retire a Millionaire So You Can Leave Your Mark on the World

Get Out of Debt and Retire A Millionaire So You Can Leave Your Mark on the World

925 Ideas to Help You Save Money, Get Out of Debt and Retire A Millionaire So You Can Leave Your Mark on the World from the author of the highly acclaimed book, Your Mark on the World, is a collection of articles about family financial planning that originally appeared at FamilyHow.com.

925 Ideas... is an easy and readable guide to help your family find financial peace. Author Devin D. Thorpe explains:

1) how you and your spouse can find agreement on money matters,
2) how to teach your kids about money,
3) how to pay for your children's college education,
4) how to live like a millionaire
5) how to come up with $25,000 in a crisis
6) how to make ends meet on one income
7) how to get out of debt and stay out of debt
8) why home ownership should be your family's top financial priority
9) how to ask your boss for a raise
10) how to use your finances to do more good in the world.

**My thoughts**
 I love that this book dives right in to teaching children how to appreciate the value of money. It is tougher to teach us old dogs new tricks, but we can help the future generations to make better choices. A great deal of focus continues on the teen years, which is one of your last chances as parents to really make an impact on your children's spending habits.

The advice for adults covers general spending habits, planning vacations, and how to handle those inevitable battles over money that often occur within marriage partners. Devin Thorpe gives practical ideas to prevent some of the rockiness and to maintain a sense of happiness in your family. He also forces you to take a hard look at yourself and your own spending habits.

While the book is originally written for an LDS audience, who would be planning service trips, the advice is applicable to anyone who uses money. I know that my mind is spinning about ways in which I need to work on my own financial goals, and this book can help me.
