#TipTuesday: When Estimated Tax Payments are Due Small businesses and freelancers making enough to owe at least $1,000.00 a year in taxes should make estimated tax payments once a quarter. The timing can be confusing because the final payment for 2024 will be made in January 2025. I thought it would be helpful if I shared when the next 6 payments are due so you can put them on your calendar. 📌Third Quarter: September 15, 2024 📌 Fourth Quarter: January 15, 2025 📌 First Quarter: April 15, 2025 📌 Second Quarter: June 16, 2025 (June 15th falls on a Sunday) 📌 Third Quarter: September 15, 2025 📌 Fourth Quarter: January 15, 2026 . . . . #TipTuesday #TuesdayTips #SmallBusinessTips #TaxSeason #EntrepreneurLife #FinancialPlanning #QuarterlyTaxes #SelfEmployment #BusinessFinance #TaxPreparation #BusinessManagement

#TipTuesday: Labor Day Out of Office Checklist As Labor Day approaches, it's the perfect time for small business owners to prepare for a smooth transition into a well-deserved break. Here’s a quick checklist to ensure everything is in order before you step away from the office: Set Up Your Out-of-Office Replies: Make sure your email and any business communication platforms have an out-of-office message set up. Let your contacts know how long you’ll be away and who they can reach out to in your absence. It can be helpful to put your vacation time into your email signature the week prior as another reminder. Notify Your Clients and Partners: A week before, send a friendly reminder to your clients and partners about your upcoming time off. This will give them ample time to contact you for any urgent matters before you’re out. Schedule Social Media Posts: Keep your digital presence active even when you're not working. Use tools like Buffer or Hootsuite to schedule posts throughout the holiday so your business maintains its online engagement. Tie-Up Loose Ends: Be sure to hold your CEO Hour before you leave for the holiday. Review your financials, time block your calendar for the week you’re back in the office, and transfer any notes you’ve made into your CRM or Project Management software. Taking these steps ensures that everything is in place, allowing you to enjoy your Labor Day weekend worry-free. Want more tips on how to manage your business efficiently during holidays?

#TipTuesday: Don’t Get Sidetracked by Research 📚 Don’t use research as a crutch to avoid making a decision you’re unsure about. Here are three tips to keep you moving forward without getting stuck in the research rabbit hole: Set Specific Research Goals and Deadlines: Decide on a goal for your research and how much time you will spend doing it. For example, if you're exploring tech solutions, limit yourself to reviewing three recommended platforms before making a decision. Implement Action Blocks: Block specific times in your schedule for research and taking action on what you learn. Now, you’re gathering information and applying it without the delay caused by overthinking. Trust in Your Initial Branding: Trust in the decisions you made in your initial branding work. Remember the unique value you provide to your clients. Keep your focus on your own goals and strengths. Comparison is the root of unhappiness. Action, not research, puts you in the driver's seat and creates progress.
