In this episode, we sit down with Lynn Webb, a passionate educator and expert in small business finance, who shares powerful insights on how business owners can keep more money in their pockets—simply by paying attention to their books and adopting better financial habits. Lynn breaks down the essential difference between accountants and bookkeepers, sheds light on a commonly missed tax deduction (mileage!), and offers practical strategies for building a stronger, more profitable business.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Accountants vs. Bookkeepers – What’s the Difference?

• Accountants are rear-facing. They work from the rearview mirror, looking at what already happened over the year to prepare your tax return.
• Bookkeepers are present-focused. They're in the trenches daily, recording transactions and tracking behaviors—like spending, travel, and more—that impact your bottom line.

✅ The Overlooked Goldmine: Mileage Tracking

• Business owners often forget to track vehicle mileage—yet it’s a legitimate tax write-off for business-related activities like picking up supplies or meeting clients.
• Lynn’s tip: “If you have a piece of paper in your hand, you probably traveled to get it.”
• Use simple tools like Google Timeline to automatically track travel. Just remember—documentation is key.

✅ Trust and Relationship Matter

• Business owners don’t just need a numbers person—they need a trusted advisor. Someone who gets to know them and their business behaviors.
• A great bookkeeper or accountant doesn’t just crunch numbers—they ask questions, offer advice, and help you make better decisions.

✅ The #1 Tax Mistake Business Owners Make

• Procrastinating on bookkeeping.
• It might seem expensive to pay for bookkeeping help, but disorganized or inaccurate books often lead to higher taxes and missed deductions.

✅ Lynn’s Best Advice for Small Business Owners:

1. Work with a bookkeeper/accountant you trust. Build a relationship with someone who understands you.
2. Change three financial habits. Small shifts can lead to big savings.
3. Book CEO Time. Regularly (weekly, monthly, or quarterly) step back from daily tasks to review the big picture. Ask:

• Am I making money?
• What needs to change?
• What do I need to do better?
• How are my finances shaping my decisions?

In this empowering episode of Positive Solutions 4 Life, host Peggy Meyer takes you on a powerful journey into the weight of your thoughts and the language you use daily. Ever feel drained without doing much? It might not be your body—it could be your mind carrying too many mental “rocks.”

Peggy unpacks how thoughts like fear, worry, and self-doubt not only affect your mood and motivation but also have a profound impact on your physical energy, emotional well-being, and even spiritual connection. Backed by principles from science and metaphysics—including the Law of Vibration and Dr. David Hawkins' Frequency Chart of Emotions—this episode shows how your inner dialogue shapes the energy you radiate.

🔑 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• 🎒 How negative thoughts are like rocks in a backpack—and why your climb gets harder the more you carry.
• 📻 The Law of Vibration and how emotions like shame and joy exist on totally different frequencies.
• 💬 Why words matter—and how small shifts in language create massive energetic upgrades.
• 💓 What your body knows—How stress, even from just thinking, can spike your heart rate and exhaust your system.
• 📱 Analogy Central—Your body as a battery, your mind as a radio, and your thoughts as apps draining energy.
• 💡 Five Practical Tools to lighten your mental load, raise your vibration, and shift your state:

1. Name It to Tame It – Increase awareness without judgment.
2. Rewrite the Script – Flip disempowering phrases into possibility statements.
3. Move Your Body – Shake out stagnation with physical activity.
4. Mindful Breathing – Use breath to reset and regulate.
5. Tune Your Inner Radio – Choose a higher frequency thought, like changing the station from static to a feel-good playlist.

✨ Key Takeaway:

You are not broken—you may just be tuned into the wrong mental frequency or carrying a backpack full of limiting thoughts. The good news? You can switch the station and drop the rocks anytime. Your energy is yours to reclaim.
