Hello my fellow procrastinators—your time is officially UP! No more extensions. October 15, 2025 is the FINAL day to file your 2024 tax return and avoid those nasty failure-to-file penalties. 👉 And trust me—you want to avoid them. For 2025, the penalty is 5% of the tax due per month (or part of a month), up to 25% total. Translation: file on November 1? The penalty is 5% for October and another 5% for November. Plus interest (currently about 8% annually). Ouch. So what should you do if you’re not ready? - If you know you’ve got a refund: What are you waiting for! The IRS has your money. No penalty, but I am sure it is better off in your hands than theirs. And if you wait too long (3 years), they’ll keep it. - If you’re unsure: Gather what you’ve got, make reasonable estimates, don’t fudge your income, and FILE. Once you get your act together you can file an amended return. Next year, promise yourself you won’t wait until the last minute—you’ve got 9½ months. That’s enough time to grow a tiny human, so surely enough time to file your taxes. 👶📄 Got last-minute filing questions?

It's Friday and even bootstrappers can't be all work and no play. So here is a riddle for you. Put your guesses in the comments and I will post the answer tomorrow. 💡 I start with nothing but can grow into something. I multiply when shared, and if you ignore me, I disappear. What am I? (Hint: every bootstrapper needs me 👀) Drop your guesses in the comments 👇

Here is a great big Thank You! to everyone for hanging in there while I am still getting everything up and running. I do appreciate the time you spend here while working on your own communities. Please stick with me. I will be sharing valuble information that will make more money in your pocket! While membership is small and I am still workinig on the set up, I have removed all restrictions about needing to be at a certain level to do a certain thing. Feel free to create a post sharing your biggest challenge, or your biggest win. What about your biggest goal? Also while we are small I will allow a modest amount of self promotion. Don't be spammy, keep it to one link per post and keep it PG.

Scrolling through the Skool Commuity I found this gem from @Erik Brown “Just write your own story expecting nothing but excellence from yourself.” Just a reminder to be yourself, write your own story, don't copy someone else's, and expect excellence from yourself. What quote is motivating you today?
