You can have a killer product and a beautiful website… and still lose thousands. In episode 272, I chat with Roger Pearson—an IRS Enrolled Agent with over 50 years of experience in business—about the most common (and costly) mistakes entrepreneurs make when it comes to finances, taxes, and business structure.

Roger shares the three foundational pillars every small business needs to thrive and explains why even seasoned solopreneurs often miss the mark when it comes to deductions, depreciation, and documentation. If you're a business owner who's ever said, “I wish I’d known that sooner,” this conversation is for you.

Key takeaways include:

• How to identify hidden money leaks in your business

• The real impact of choosing the wrong business structure

• Why proper record keeping isn’t optional

• What to look for when hiring a tax professional

• How to stop overpaying the IRS—legally

🎧 This episode is especially relevant for women over 40 who’ve overcome life’s curveballs and are building businesses on their own terms.
