​Many business owners set out to build freedom—only to discover they’ve created a job they can’t escape. In this session, we’ll break down the difference between a true business asset and a founder-dependent operation. You’ll assess where you fall today, identify the hidden risks of being the linchpin, and walk away with a practical checklist to help you build a business that can run, grow, and cash-flow without you at the center of everything.

​Most small business owners never learned how taxes actually work, and the internet doesn’t make it any easier. Whether you didn’t go to business school (or it’s just been a while), this workshop will break down the tax essentials every entrepreneur needs to understand.

​CPA Austin Malone will walk you through what the IRS expects, how to stay compliant without stress, and simple ways to organize your finances so tax season isn’t overwhelming. This session is practical, approachable, and designed specifically for business owners who want clarity, confidence, and fewer surprises.

​You’ll learn how to:
• Understand what the IRS expects from small business owners
• Avoid common mistakes that lead to stress or penalties
• Stay organized with simple systems for finances and record-keeping
• Know when you can handle taxes yourself, and when it’s time to ask for help

​Whether you're brand-new to business or looking to tighten up your financial foundation, this workshop will give you tools you can implement immediately.
