What are your beliefs about taxes?

Strange question but think about it. Business tax deductions, asset protection, and high net worth tax planning strategies are easy to deal with compared to…. YOUR BELIEFS!

What are beliefs? A state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing. The very fiber of our beliefs drive our results through the words we speak, the words we hear, the actions we take, the habits we create, and the rules that are inflicted upon us.

At times the belief systems we create will generate success, at other times they will produce failure. It is like a mathematical equation, there is a formula and each time it will result in the same answers.

Consider the story of a king crab fisherman in Alaska. The new crew member saw the stillness of the ocean, and the sudden ferocity that created great instability. Concerned about the catch, he asked the Captain why they did not place a lid on the barrels containing the crab.

The captain responded to crewman by saying: it’s simple, when one crab attempts to crawl out of the barrel and back into the sea the other crabs pull it back down. There is no escape.

Beliefs can impact us the exact same way. As a child you may have been taught that “money doesn’t grow on trees” or “we can’t afford that” or “keep dreaming, but it’s never going to happen.” These beliefs can propel and underpin all of our thinking and the barriers we place every day on our success.
