I was worried a while ago. While one of my friend was talking with us (we were sitting around a table at St. Elmo’s for our morning discussion), I noticed his hands were trembling. I thought he had more than enough coffee- or, worse, he was developing Parkinson’s Disease.

That song from “Hamilton”- with its refrain carried through a variety of songs- resonates in my soul. I’ve always tried to get my ventures- and my clients ventures- to become the success of which we all dream.
Let us count the ways…
The year is drawing to a close. Which means most of us are preparing for what we will do in 2017.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be going over how and what we should be doing (that we can still do) to save money on our taxes. But, today, I am going to ask you to consider a few things to make your 2017 great.
