Stupid Tax#31 - Embrace Poverty Now! The Smartest Financial Decision You'll Ever MakeMitchell and Scott are back after a summer break! In June Mitchell posed a question on Twitter/X: "What's the smartest financial decision you ever made?" Mitchell and Scott read through the comments and offer their commentary. The replies range from the typical -- buying a house chealy at low mortgage rates, paying off the mortgage, investing in crypto -- to heavily lifestyle-influenced decisions such as marrying well or having a family. Scott's take on the question? Embrace thrift. Realize that every dollar you earn beyond what you need to live on is time and e...2024-07-081h 00Stupid Tax#30 - Deal Book Monday: Purchasing a Ready Mix Concrete PlantIt's time to look at more deals, this time from a listener in Houston who works in the concrete/aggregate industry and is considering purchasing a ready mix concrete plant. The owner of the plant is in his mid-70s and also owns a concrete contracting business; he acquired the plant to provide concrete for his contracting business, and supplies a handful of other customers as well. The owner is also selling a number of concrete trucks and other equipment. The potential buyer has the knowledge to operate the plant, and the plant appears to be underutilized, however there...2024-05-1351 minStupid Tax#29 - Should You Start a Micro Gym? And Hiring WoesMitchell Baldridge, the world's most famous accountant, and entrepreneur-turned-farmer Scott Hambrick are back! In today's episode, they respond to a listener email asking for opinions on their business idea: a "microgym" in which customers pay a monthly fee for a time slot at a small but well appointed barbell gym. The gym would have all the necesasry equipment to train for powerlifting, weightlifting, and crossfit, but in a small footprint, under 1,000 square feet. Mitchell also shares an update on the recent tax season, and the state of hiring accountants in 2024.

Listener Tim W. (T-dub for short) shares his new SEO marketing business he has rolled out, and some reservations he has about growing it beyond a certain point. While T-dub only wants to grow the business enough to cover his monthly nut and a little profit on top, Mitchell and Scott warn of the dangers of a business that just generates enough profit to get by, especially when times get tough and business slows...2024-03-2555 minStupid Tax#27 - Mitchell's Mailbag: Bad Business Ideas, Marketing for a Handyman Business, and Growing Your Customer BaseMitchell Baldridge, CPA and Scott Hambrick reach into the Stupid Tax inbox and look at three questions submitted by listeners. One young business owner started a handyman business in the fall of 2023 and started off with a bang, making $14k in his first full month of operation. The following three months were lean, however, with revenue falling off signficantly and net operating losses. Mitchell and Scott offer some advice on ways to figure out what worked in the first month, and target his customer base with higher margin, more attractive service offerings. Another listener has b...2024-03-1859 minStupid Tax#26 - Why You Need to Raise Your PricesMany business owners struggle with the idea of raising prices. Even in the current environment of high inflation and rapidly increasing costs for just about everything, many people struggle to raise prices. Sometimes it's in fear of losing good business, sometimes it's because raising prices feels like conflict and owners are conflict-avoidan. Other times it is because people have deep seated insecurities and low self-confidence, and feel like they simply aren't worth the extra fee. Regardless of the reason, raising prices regularly, to keep pace with the costs of running the business as well as remain competitive, is crucial...2024-03-111h 02Stupid Tax#25 - The Small Business Tax TrapMitchell and Scott discuss a common problem that successful business owners encounter in their first coupe years of operation -- an income tax trap caused by rapid growth. Here's the scenario: our young business owner Connor leaves his low paying W-2 job to start a business, and it's a hit! He generates $150k in profit in his first year of operation. He leaves $50k in the business, and distributes $100k to himself. The newfound income is a windfall for his family. But... the looming tax bill is greater than you think, and requires careful planning to make sure you...2024-03-0440 minStupid Tax#24 - Why Bad Businesses Are Ponzi SchemesBad businesses are a Ponzi scheme, says Mitchell, in which owners hang on for dear life until the next check clears, only to immediately be in the hole again when the next project -- and the costs associated with it -- comes in. In fact, most businesses start this way! The job of the owner is to turn that bad starting business into a good one, a business where there is plenty of cash flow to handle the costs associated with taking on new business, hiring new employees, and other working capital needs without needing the cash from the...2024-02-261h 04Stupid Tax#23 - Fraud Controls: How to Stop People Stealing from Your BusinessHang around a group of small business owners -- folks who have been in the business for a long time -- and you'll find that nearly every one of them has had someone steal from them or commit fraud at one time or another. Small businesses are prime targets for fraud and theft, mainly because they tend to have weak or ineffective fraud controls, if they have any at all! It's imperative for any small business owner to understand common fraud risks and develop some basic processes to ensure they don't happen. The most common r...2024-02-121h 25Stupid Tax#22 - Do I Need a Lawyer?

Absolutely! Scott and Mitchell discuss the factors that make a business difficult to succeed in, and what things they like to look for in businesses with a high chance of success. Scott also points out that while some businesses are difficult to scale, there's no reason an operator can't make a good living running a business at a certain level and refusing to grow beyond that point. At the end of the day, the business exists to serve its owner, and a profitable, cash-flowing business that...2024-01-291h 07Stupid Tax#20 - The Fifty Year Plan: How Gen Z Will Build Their Lives and BusinessesMitchell and Scott pick up today's episode in the middle of a conversation about whether "the kids are gonna be alright." As Gen Z enters the workforce en masse, they do so with very different expectations than the millenials before them. Zoomers are well aware of the long and ongoing slide in real middle class wages, as well as employment uncertainty. They have less of the entitlement and belief in institutions compared to millenials, and they exhibit no lack of work ethic. In spite of this, says Scott, many Zoomers lack creativity and ambition when it comes to building...2024-01-2259 minStupid Tax#19 - Should You Switch to Accrual Accounting? Also, Why Tax Write Offs Are OverratedMitchell Baldridge and Scott Hambrick answer a listener question asking about switching from cash accounting to accrual accounting in his farming buinsess, and a potential tax bill that would arise from that switch. Listener Austin also asks about the common practice of spending money on new equipment to reduce taxable income, even when the business doesn't need the equipment. Scott and Mitchell explain why spending money on equipment you don't need to save on taxes is a bad decision, and why tax planning around write offs is a poor strategy for the small business person in general. 2024-01-1554 minStupid Tax#18 - Grift or Marketing? Getting Customer's Attention in The Internet AgeIt's popular nowadays to throw around the term "grifter" when it comes to getting people to check out your product or service. After all, it seems like it takes either tons of frequent exposure or outlandish behavior to get attention on the internet, especially social media and YouTube. Grifting implies some level of fraudulence, however, or at least a failure to deliver the value you promised customers. What some people call "grifting" is just marketing in the modern age. It's not enough to simply describe your product any more. You need to signal what your company is about, the...2024-01-0841 min

Scott Creel will be cooking on the griddle and serving up some deliciousness, and then we'll head into the sanctuary to worship together.2024-01-0342 minStupid Tax#17 - The Customer Is NOT Always RightSomewhere in the early part of the 20th century, retailer Marshall Field famously declared "the customer is always right," underlining his emphasis on customer satisfaction as an important part of the retail experience. It's a catchy saying, and variations of it have appeared throughout the retail and customer service industries. However, as Scott points out, the 21st century customer experience has been shaped by online shopping and services. Behemoths like Amazon deliver a faceless service with a priority on rock bottom prices, free shipping, and no hassle returns. Customer expectations have changed accordingly. This puts th...2024-01-011h 20Stupid TaxMerry Christmas! We're Taking a Quick BreakWe're taking a short break for the week of Christmas and New Years.

As Mitchell and Scott discuss on today's episode, the hassle of any given business activity has a cost measured in misery and frustration, if you have the wrong clients for your business. The best clients, that is, clients who are easy to work with and don't ask for customization that doesn't fit into your processes, are often the most profitable clients. On the other hand, even clients that offer you a lot of money...2023-12-1846 minStupid Tax#15 - Should Matt Take Over His Mom's Cleaning Business? Also, RIP Charlie MungerMitchell and Scott ruminate on the life of Charlie Munger, legendary investor and vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway who recently passed away at age 99. For decades, Munger was the right-hand man of perhaps the most famous investor of all time, Warren Buffett, and made a long string of successful invstments in diverse sectors such as insurance, banking, retail, and food. Munger amassed a fortune in the billions, but Scott questions the motivation of a man still working hard and chasing deals into his 90's. Mitchell and Scott also address listener Matt's question (the same Matt w...2023-12-1134 minStupid Tax#14 - Matt Wants to Buy His Uncle's Business: Mitchell and Scott Weigh InMatt recently wrote into the show to ask about best practices for buying a business, and more specifically his uncle's pest control business. Matt has worked in the business some, and has an opportunity to buy the business, but isn't sure about the best way to go about it -- generating a letter of intent and purchase agreement, how to value the business, how to stucture terms, financing, etc. Mitchell and Scott review his email and offer advice for aspiring business owners in a similiar situation, sharing their own successes as well as lessons learned from deals gone wrong.2023-12-0437 minStupid Tax#13 - Stop Looking in the Rear View Mirror: How to Do Effective AccountingToo many business owners use accounting to essentially stay out of jail, or at least out of trouble with the IRS. They close their books once a year so they can file their taxes, then move on, having learned little of value about the business' financial health in the process. Everything they learn by this accounting process is late, by months and months, usually far too late to do act on. Other business owners might be better, closing their books every quarter, or even monthly, but the problem remains -- they are always looking in the rear view mirror...2023-11-271h 07Stupid Tax#12 - Getting Your Ego Out of the Way: Building Effective Systems and ProcessesIf you want your business to grow beyond a certain point, you'll eventually need to hire employees, and you'll need to let them take over some of the work that you have been doing. Many business owners get hung up on delegating tasks to others, and taking the time to train employees. Whether it's perfectionism, unwillingness to let new employees make mistakes, or fear of someone else being better than you at a given task, business owners that want to grow have to put their ego aside and let others become expert in the various operations of the business...2023-11-201h 28Stupid Tax#11 - 10 Tax Hacks for Business OwnersMitchell says that small business is the best tax deal in America, and in today's episode he expalins why! He outlines 10 ways business owners can take advantage of tax credtis, deductions, legal entities, and investment vehicles to lower their taxable income in the business and on their personal returns. Some of these hacks are simple, others are complex, so if you need advice on whether you qualify and how to implement them, reach out to Mitchell's accounting firm Baldridge Financial in the links below. Mitchell's ongoing Twitter thread on tax savings and personal fi...2023-11-1358 minStupid Tax#10 - What You DON'T Need to Start a Business: Avoid These Common Mistakes!There are a few things you need to start a business, which Mitchell and Scott covered in episode #8, and a whole lot of things you don't need: investors, a business plan, core values, conference rooms, shirts with your company logo... Mitchell even says you don't need accounting! Many would-be business owners get caught up in the trappings of owning a business without actually nailing the core aspects of business: getting customers and closing sales. It's easy to work on business plans and mission statements, but without customers it's meaningless and, ultimately, a waste of valuable time and effort. In...2023-11-061h 02Stupid Tax#9 - How to Find a Lawyer with "Diamond" David KeeslingThe worst time to look for a lawyer is when you have a big legal problem and need help. Nevertheless, that's exactly the position many people find themselves in when they start looking for a lawyer. Early on at Data Storage, Scott had a lawyer -- that is, the one appointed to him by his insurance company -- but not a good one, as he found out during a disastrous deposition while dealing with an employee harassment suit. The plaintiffs, on the other hand, had a great lawyer, and after the smoke cleared from the ordeal and Scott calmed...2023-10-301h 21Stupid Tax#8 - Business 101: Everything You Need to Get StartedMitchell and Scott outline the basic things you need to get a business going: which legal entity to pick, how to register for it, how to setup a bank account, and more. As Scott underlines, the most important thing for starting a business, that comes before anything else, is a customer! In Scott's view, the customer comes even before the product, and should be the primary focus of the young entrepreneur. Mitchell agrees. Many people get hung up on setting up an LLC, opening a business bank account, and other legal and administrative tasks before t...2023-10-231h 32Stupid Tax#7 - Freelancing: Owning Your JobFreelancing is very common in today's "gig economy," and in a way it's a lot like owning a business. The freelancer has to be her own sales force, her own marketing division, her own bookkeeper, etc. Freelancing is essentially owning your own job, which comes with a unique set of challenges. Scott and Mitchell discuss what the freelancer needs to know to develop a successful enterprise. In most cases, the freelancer does work independently that could be done as an employee at a company. The freelancer, like the employee, trades time for money. This differs f...2023-10-161h 31Stupid Tax#6 - Build It Or Buy It?Most people thinking about starting a business assume they would build that business, but it's not the only way. There are many businesses that can be bought, sometimes for suprisingly low multiples, and they offer a number of advantages for the budding entrepreneur. Buying a business is, at one level, buying a book of clients, which are already bought in to the service that the business offers. There's no customer acquisition cost for these clients, and the hard work of marketing has already been taken care of for you. Then there are the assets. In s...2023-10-091h 22Stupid Tax#5 - Keeping the IRS Off Your Back: What You Need to Know About Business TaxesNothing induces cold sweats and sleepless nights like the thought of a letter from the IRS, or heaven forbid, an audit! After all, there are famous examples in the news about people going to prison for not paying their taxes, or being accused of tax fraud. Many new business owners needlessly worry about taxes and the IRS, however. With a little bit of knowledge, basic record keeping, and a good accountant, business owners can ensure they know their tax liability and pay taxes on time, every time, and avoid scrutiny from the IRS. Mitchell Baldridge i...2023-10-021h 15Stupid Tax#4 - Life Is a Funnel: Build Your Funnel, Learn Your BusinessAll businesses are sales businesses. Without sales, business operations to make and deliver products and services can't happen, and without revenue, there is no business. So, how do you get sales? What you need is a funnel, a sales funnel. In today's episode Mitchell and Scott introduce the concept of a sales funnel, but point out that funnels are not just for sales, they are everywhere in life. To get sales, you need to talk to people who need what you are selling AND have the money to buy it. Before you can talk to th...2023-09-251h 18Stupid Tax#3 - Accounting: What Is It Good For Anyway?Accounting, as Scott Hambrick says, is the scientific method of business. It's a process of data collection and testing hypotheses about how your business works. For Mitchell Baldridge, CPA, accounting is about the numbers -- debits, credits, chart of accounts -- but it's also about so much more. Accounting is not just about tracking the dollars that go in and out of the business, it's about tracking the precursors to those dollars: sales calls, proposals, engagement letters, etc. Properly done, accounting gives you invaluable information about the types of activities that make your business function, and which activities are...2023-09-181h 03Stupid Tax#2 - You Can Make $400k a Year as a Business OwnerSmall business is one of the best ways -- maybe THE best way -- for the common man to build generational wealth and set his family up with resources for the future. In an off-mic conversation Mitchell threw out $400k a year as the perfect amount of money to make as a business owner. It was kind of a joke, but not really, and it sparked the conversation: what does a person who makes $400,000 a year from their business do? How do they set up their business, how do they manage their sales funnel, how do they manage their...2023-09-111h 07Stupid Tax#1 - Why Small Business? The Best Tax Deal in AmericaStarting a business is hard, and there's no shortage of stories in the media bemoaning the high rate of failure for small businesses, the long hours, the lack of benefits. For Mitchell Baldridge and Scott Hambrick, however, small business is the big time, one of the best ways for the common man to build wealth, find autonomy in his work, and align his work with his values. In small business, there is no work/life balance -- work and life become entwined, and the business becomes an extension of the owner. As a result, the owner gets to shape...2023-09-041h 12Stupid TaxStupid Tax: A Show About Small BusinessWelcome to the Stupid Tax podcast, a show all about small business.

This episode covers beauty as a transcendental and its role in the fine arts, and intuition as the way we experience artistic beauty.

Maritain argues for an objective view of both art and the artist, bringing an orderly, scholastic, Thomistic approach to understanding aesthetics. Mirus says, "Maritain gets art better than any other philosopher who came before him in the Western Tradition." For Maritain, art is “a virtue of the practical intellect that aims at making."
