In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have an impressive guest, Tom Wheelwright who shares  his wisdom, knowledge, insights on why entrepreneurs and investors should be involved with their tax situation, understanding tax law, tax lien, bonus depreciation, tax rates, capital gain trades, PPP Loan forgiveness, and techniques on how to reduce taxes!

Tom Wheelwright is an entrepreneur, investor, a CPA and was an accountant buddy of Robert Kiyosaki, an expert and published author on partnerships and corporation tax strategies, and a well-known platform speaker and wealth education innovator. His best-selling book, Tax-Free Wealth helps entrepreneurs and investors how to build massive amounts of wealth through practical and legal strategies for lowering taxes.

Tom’s work has been featured in hundreds of media, including Forbes, The Huffington Post, Accounting Today, CFO Magazine, ABC News Radio, and AZTV Morning News, along with writing columns for Entrepreneur Magazine and Inman News.

This man always loves law and numbers. According to him, tax is a nice combination of law and numbers. Thus, Tom always makes taxes look sexy. Accordingly, as taxes are on their way up, you need to have a plan to reduce it. Long term tax strategy is a much better solution.

How to come up with the solution? Big vision attracts big talent. Hence, work with tax advisor. Having a tax advisor or an accountant is the most important person in your team.

On the other hand, in terms of capitalizing, invest something you enjoy, something you care about, and something you spend the time to get good at. The asset category and actual type of investment doesn’t matter. Choose something that’s fun instead of chasing returns, that’s the journey and it’s not about the destination.

Currently, Tom is very excited about technology as it applies to business and investing, as well as changes in education. Tom and his team are currently building a massive international network for CPA firms to be able to help more people around the world.
