🎬 Episode 3: Hobby vs. Business — What the IRS Looks For

And this is something I tell people ALL the time…

If your “business” has been showing losses year after year, we need to have a serious hobby loss conversation.

Because let me be clear. The IRS is going to ask the SAME questions I’m asking you:

✔️ How much time are you actually putting into your business?
✔️ What marketing are you doing?
✔️ Are you operating like a business… or a hobby?

I’ve been in the tax industry for over 40 years, and I’ve seen it all.

I’ve seen what triggers audits.
I’ve seen the common mistakes.
And one of the biggest ones?

👉 Trying to do your own taxes without fully understanding the rules.

People say they work from home and try to write off:
❌ Their full mortgage
❌ All utilities
❌ Expenses on the WRONG lines

And that’s exactly how you get flagged 🚩

This isn’t just about filing, it’s about filing correctly.

If you want to protect your business, your money, and your peace of mind…

✨ Start treating your business like a business.

Need help getting your books and taxes in order?
Let’s fix it BEFORE the IRS asks questions.

04/08/2026

Does your business have a CLEAR mission… or just words on paper? 🤔

Take a moment and ask yourself:

✨ Does it include specific objectives?
✨ Are there timelines attached?
✨ Does it clearly explain WHY it matters?

And most importantly…

👉🏽 Do you actually communicate this to your team?

A mission isn’t meant to sit in a document—it’s meant to be lived, understood, and executed daily.

Clarity creates alignment. Alignment creates results. 💼✨

“Write the vision… make it plain.”

🎙️ PART 2: Is It a Business… or Just a Hobby?

Let’s talk about it because a lot of people say they have a business… but the way it’s moving? It’s giving hobby 👀

A hobby costs you money.
A business is designed to MAKE you money.

💼 Ask yourself:
– Am I making consistent profit?
– Do I track my income & expenses?
– Do I have a strategy… or am I just posting and hoping?

📉 Common Mistakes Business Owners Make:

❌ No real marketing strategy
Posting randomly ≠ marketing
You need intention, targeting, and consistency

❌ Not investing in visibility
If people don’t know you exist… they can’t pay you

❌ Underpricing your services
Stop charging based on fear…charge based on value

💰 Let’s Talk About Your Future:

Too many entrepreneurs forget this part…

✔️ Social Security contributions
✔️ 401(k) / Solo 401(k)
✔️ IRA (Retirement Savings)

If you’re self-employed… YOU are responsible.

Your business should fund your future—not just your lifestyle.

📊 What Real Business Owners Do:

✔️ Pay themselves consistently
✔️ Set aside taxes
✔️ Invest in marketing & growth
✔️ Plan for retirement

They don’t just make money… they manage it.

🔁 Mindset Shift:

Stop saying: “I made money this month”
Start asking: “How am I building something sustainable?”

You’re not just running a business…
You’re building an asset. A legacy.

🎯 This Week’s Challenge:
1. Review your business finances (be real with yourself)
2. Pick ONE marketing strategy and commit
3. Start your retirement plan….no more waiting

Because we’re not building hobbies…
We’re building legacies 💼✨
