Before you start your own tax preparation business, you have to know what's in it for you to start a business in the first place . . . any business. What kind of benefits do you get from taking the courageous step to be boss, worker, and many other roles?
For the MONEY!
If you are like most people, you have spent most of your life working for someone else. You have spent 40 hours every week or more putting money into someone else's pocket. Your company's owner probably drives a nicer car than you do, lives in a nicer house, and takes better vacations than you do. Who pays for all of that? Certainly his or her customers pay the company for products or services, but YOU make that happen. Wouldn't it be nice if you were making the same income as your boss, or better? What if you were making over $100/hour? You can as a Tax Professional.
When you start your own business, you own something. You are building equity in your future. You become recognized as a professional and are sought after for the knowledge that you have. You are building something of value that you can pass on to your children, something that can provide for you in your golden years. With a job, you earn your next paycheck. When you own your own business, you are creating a residual income that can pay for years to come. One of our graduates called to say that she is selling her two year old tax practice for $100,000 and moving to Australia.
Be Your Own Boss
Most of us have seen a company owner take a day off just because they feel that they need it. How can they do that? Since they make the decisions, they can decide when to come and go, they can work from home if they want to, and plan their day according to their own preferences. Imagine being your own boss and making those decisions for yourself. You schedule your work time around the activities you want to do. If you want to go to your favorite hangout for a long weekend, there is only one person you have to ask — YOU!
Stability
You may think that this is an odd thing to say about starting your own business, but the fact is that if you plan your business well and use a proven strategy, the strongest likelihood is that you will succeed. In former days, you could find a big company to work for, put in your 40 years, get your gold watch and retire. Those days are all but gone. Corporate restructuring, layoffs, downsizing, and countless other reasons to lay people off have made the former ideal of a job for life little more than a dream for most of us.
Here's a little secret: If a company has financial trouble, who do you think is the last person that gets fired? If you guessed that the owner of the company is the last one out, you are absolutely correct. When you are in charge, you are in control of your own destiny. We teach you a proven system whereby you can find or add the clients you need and work at a profitable, efficient pace.
Prestige
Successful people gain the respect of others. When you introduce yourself as owner of XYZ company, others will listen more carefully and have more respect for your opinions. After all, you will have achieved something most only dream about.
Tax Benefits
When you own your own business, there are many things that you can partially or completely write off as tax deductions. From the car your drive to the clothes that you wear, to a home office, most of your business costs will be tax deductible.
