The decisions you make in the next 90 days will determine your 2026 tax bill.

If you didn't implement tax strategies before December 31st, those opportunities are gone.

But here's what most business owners don't realize.

The decisions you make in the next 90 days will determine your 2026 tax bill.

Your CPA is probably still recovering from the holidays.

Meanwhile, you're already:

• Making business purchases
• Paying employees
• Structuring deals
• Taking distributions

Every one of those decisions has tax consequences.

And you're making them without guidance.

The business owners who pay the least in taxes aren't more intelligent than you.

They just started planning earlier.

Stryde analyzes your business across all major tax categories:

• Retirement 
• Deductions  
• Credits 
• Niche-specific strategies 
• Tax Cuts & Jobs Act Updates 

Want to make 2026 the year you finally stop overpaying?

Planning ahead.

While most business owners were recovering from the holidays, the smart ones were doing something different.

They were planning.

Because here's what they know that most don't…

Tax savings don't happen in April when you file.

They happen in January when you plan.

Think about it.

Every major tax strategy requires time to implement:

Entity restructuring? Takes months. 

Retirement account setup? Needs proper documentation. 

Cost segregation study? Requires professional analysis. 

If you wait until December to think about these strategies, you've already lost.

But if you start now, you have several months to execute.

That's the difference between business owners who pay $90,000 in taxes and those who pay $35,000.

It's not luck. It's not some secret loophole.

It's planning ahead.

Right now, you're making decisions that will impact your 2026 tax bill:

• How much to pay yourself 
• Whether to buy equipment 
• How to structure client payments 
• When to take distributions 
• Where to invest profits

Are you making these decisions with a tax strategist? Or are you guessing?

Most business owners guess. And it costs them.

Stryde gives you a comprehensive 2026 tax plan that shows you:

• Exactly what strategies apply to your situation 
• How much each strategy will save you 
• When to implement throughout the year 
• What documentation do you need

No more guessing. No more scrambling in December.

Just a clear roadmap for paying the minimum legal amount in taxes.

Structure problems.

 

What You Keep > What You Make

Starting a new year always brings that “clean slate” energy.

But clean slates don’t mean anything if you don’t change the way the game is played.

I’ve had years that looked great on paper. Revenue was up. Activity was high. Clients were coming in.

And still... the bank account didn’t reflect it. And worse, my lifestyle didn’t reflect it.

That's when I realized most entrepreneurs don’t have revenue problems. They have structure problems.

The business is busy, but it’s not efficient. Money comes in, but it leaks right back out. Here in the middle of May Stop it!!

Did you write another New Year's Resolution this year?

Have you ever found yourself jotting down some New Year's Resolutions, only to watch them fizzle out in days or weeks after the holiday excitement settles down?

 

If so, you’re not alone!

 

One of the biggest blocks people face when setting big intentions for the New Year, is they get stuck in “wanting” mode.

 

They are in a state of “I don’t have what I want, so I have to get what I don’t have”.

 

But the Universe doesn’t respond to what you want, it responds to your state of being in the moment.

 

The antidote is shifting from wanting to having mode.

 

When you truly believe that what you want is already yours, the Law states that it has to make manifest in physical form.

 

This is just one of 21 daily practices from a new book, Countdown to Riches, that are designed to change the way you think, feel and act towards abundance in your life.

 

Don’t let 2026 be another year where your desires fade with the holiday excitement, allow it to be the year you see lasting transformation.

Who do you allow in your business?

Working with the wrong people will always cost more than being “short-staffed.”

A mismatched team creates confusion, not results.

Boundaries protect the vision. Compromising them to “be nice” is how resentment starts.

Who you allow in your business is just as important as what your business sells.

“You are not a rehab center for unmotivated people.”— Ed Mylett

The vision doesn’t fail because you didn’t work hard.

It fails when you work hard with the wrong crew.

Choose wisely.

Always.
