Write off your work truck (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ty's truck is on its last legs, and Tom has been annoying about it for months, even though Ty's vehicle went much longer than Tom's did before ever having engine trouble. But that's beside the point, because now Ty's shopping for a new truck. Tom has advice about how to be able to legally write off 100% of the value of the new (used) vehicle.
Scaling (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tom had a chance to look at two P&L statements for two different businesses this week. One was a company that had scaled up to a larger business, and the other was a single-operator business, both doing similar work. The difference in the net profit was surprising. It made Tom think about the things that make a business more or less prime for scaling.
