I’m back with another installment of Ask Hilary, where I answer questions largely from the Profit Boss® Facebook group (which you should totally join if you haven’t already!).
Before answering your questions, I want to make sure you start 2017 on the right foot by talking about taxes. I share some of my top tax tips — including last-minute charitable contributions and tax loss harvesting — that you can implement to make the most of your taxes for this year. I also give you a rundown of an excellent recent article from the Wall Street Journal that backs up what I’ve been telling you for a while now: index funds are the way to go!
Then I dive into four listener questions. We talk about micro-financing other people and what kind of savings account you should open when you’re looking to start a business of your own. I give some advice to an aspiring investor and author, and wrap up with a discussion about how to identify ways in which your business can grow so you can give yourself a promotion. I also have a free gift for you to make the busy holiday season a little more organized, so don’t miss out!
