November's Spoonful of Strategy 🥄
Brigid Reale, Lynn Norris
A Tiny Taste of Tactical Genius
Hey Busy VO Pro,
No one loves taxes - but you can love how prepared you feel.
This month’s Spoonful is all about getting ahead, while there’s still time to make smart money moves before the year wraps.
🧾 Your Strategy:
Start your year-end tax prep in November, not March.
Here’s how:
-
✅ Review your income (what came in, what’s still outstanding)
-
📁 Organize your receipts and categorize common write-offs:
-
Coaching & classes
-
Subscriptions (Canva, Trello, Apollo.io)
-
Studio equipment
-
Home office expenses
-
Mileage or travel
-
-
💸 If you’re not already saving for taxes, start moving 25–30% of income to a separate account now.
Pro tip: Ask your VA to create a simple running list of expenses + categories you can hand off to your CPA later.
🫙 Why It Works:
You avoid the April panic, feel more in control, and you might even spot a last-minute deduction opportunity.
✨ Coming Next Month:
When did setting goals for the new year become a stress-filled activity filled with "shoulds" and "resolutions"? We've got a tip to make planning your next year exciting again. And easy.
