There are roughly two months left in the 2026 tax year, and for a one-person business that window is worth more than most founders realize. Once December 31 passes, many of the decisions that shape your tax bill are locked in. Before it passes, you still have room to time purchases, fund retirement accounts, tidy up contractor paperwork, and make sure you aren’t heading into a penalty for underpaying through the year. This year also carries more change than usual. The tax law signed on July 4, 2025, which the IRS now refers to as the Working Families Tax Cuts…

Ever wondered why a bad night’s sleep can leave you irritable, anxious or sad? Poor sleep affects our emotions, but its timing also plays a role.Our circadian rhythms are nearly 24-hour cycles that regulate alertness, hormones, body temperature and digestion.Deep inside the brain, a cluster of nerve cells called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) acts as the body’s master clock.

Feeling stagnant? Stuck? Bored? Here’s the thing: Nothing is going to change unless you do something about it. And yes, change can be difficult, but some of the best things in life come from the most challenging and tough times.  Plus, sometimes, we all need a flip in perspective—even if it’s simply just to show us how lucky we are and how much we need to appreciate what we already have. And a change or a flip in perspective doesn’t always have to be drastic. Sometimes, really simple things can alter your view point, allowing for greater opportunity and more…
