  It's
• 2:23
  really
• 2:24
  that
• 2:24
  simple.
• 2:24
  It's
• 2:24
  not
• 2:24
  about
• 2:25
  paying
• 2:25
  taxes.

  It's
• 2:26
  not

  about
• 2:26
  doing
• 2:27
  the
• 2:27
  taxes
• 2:27
  that
• 2:27
  they're
• 2:28

  for
• 2:30
  most
• 2:30
  people,
• 2:30
  they've
• 2:30
  got

  but
• 2:51
  when

  I
• 2:52
  am
• 2:52
  not

  ready
• 2:52
  for
• 2:53
  something
• 2:53
  every

  couple
• 2:56
  days
• 2:56
  in
• 2:56

  I
• 2:57

  What
• 3:00
  are
• 3:00
  my

  takeaways?
• 3:01
  What
• 3:01
  are
• 3:01
  the
• 3:01
  things
• 3:01
  that
• 3:01
  my
• 3:02
  listeners
• 3:02
  need
• 3:02
  to
• 3:02
  hear?
• 3:04
  Well,
• 3:04
  taxes
• 3:04
  are
• 3:04
  the
• 3:04
  same
• 3:05
  thing
• 3:05
  because
• 3:06
  you're
• 3:06
  going
• 3:06
  to
• 3:06
  face
• 3:06
  them
• 3:06
  once
• 3:07
  a
• 3:07
  year.
• 3:07
  Hey,
• 3:07
  you're
• 3:07
  going
• 3:07
  to
• 3:07
  have
• 3:08
  taxes.
• 3:08
  Like
• 3:08
  I
• 3:08
  said,
• 3:08
  death
• 3:09
  and
• 3:09
  taxes,
• 3:09
  two
• 3:10
  certainties
• 3:10
  in
• 3:11
  life.
• 3:12
  But
• 3:12
  see,
• 3:12
  being
• 3:13
  a
• 3:13
  true
• 3:13
  steward
• 3:14
  of
• 3:14
  what
• 3:14
  God
• 3:14
  is
• 3:15
  giving
• 3:15
  you
• 3:15
  means
• 3:16
  that
• 3:16
  you
• 3:16
  have
• 3:16
  to
• 3:16
  have
• 3:16
  what
• 3:17
  I'm
• 3:17
  going
• 3:17
  to
• 3:17
  call
• 3:17
  a
• 3:17
  year
• 3:18
  round
• 3:18
  mindset
• 3:19
  when
• 3:19
  it
• 3:19
  comes
• 3:19
  to
• 3:19
  taxes.
• 3:20
  Because
• 3:21
  if
• 3:21
  you
• 3:21
  wait
• 3:21
  to
• 3:21
  the
• 3:22
  last
• 3:22
  minute,
• 3:22
  that's
• 3:22
  when
• 3:23
  you're
• 3:23
  going
• 3:23
  to
• 3:23
  panic.
• 3:23
  That's
• 3:24
  when
• 3:24
  you're
• 3:24
  going
• 3:24
  to
• 3:24
  feel
• 3:25
  overwhelmed
• 3:25
  and
• 3:26
  that's
• 3:26
  when
• 3:26
  you're
• 3:26
  going
• 3:26
  to
• 3:26
  have
• 3:27
  that
• 3:27
  stress
• 3:27
  because
• 3:28
  you're
• 3:28
  not
• 3:29
  prepared.
• 3:29
  Well,
• 3:29
  guess
• 3:30
  what?
• 3:30
  I've
• 3:30
  got
• 3:30
  a
• 3:30
  Bible
• 3:31
  verse
• 3:31
  that
• 3:31
  speaks
• 3:32
  directly
• 3:32
  to
• 3:32
  this.
• 3:33
  It's
• 3:33
  from
• 3:33
  the
• 3:33
  book
• 3:34
  of
• 3:34
  Luke
• 3:34
  16:10.
• 3:35
  And
• 3:36
  it
• 3:36
  says
• 3:36
  this,
• 3:37
  whoever
• 3:37
  can
• 3:37
  be
• 3:38
  trusted
• 3:38
  with
• 3:38
  very
• 3:38
  little
• 3:39
  can
• 3:39
  also
• 3:40
  be
• 3:40
  trusted
• 3:40
  with
• 3:41
  much.
• 3:41
  And
• 3:42
  whoever
• 3:42
  is
• 3:42
  dishonest
• 3:43
  with
• 3:43
  very
• 3:43
  little
• 3:44
  will
• 3:44
  also
• 3:44
  be
• 3:45
  dishonest
• 3:45
  with
• 3:46
  much.
• 3:47
  Now
• 3:47
  you're
• 3:47
  thinking,
• 3:47
  Ralph,
• 3:48
  what
• 3:48
  does
• 3:48
  that
• 3:48
  have
• 3:48
  to
• 3:48
  do
• 3:48
  with
• 3:48
  taxes?
• 3:50
  It's
• 3:50
  all
• 3:50
  about
• 3:50
  preparation.
• 3:51
  It's
• 3:52
  all
• 3:52
  about
• 3:52
  being
• 3:53
  ready
• 3:53
  for
• 3:53
  tax
• 3:54
  time.
• 3:55
  And
• 3:55
  if
• 3:55
  you
• 3:55
  want
• 3:55
  to
• 3:55
  be
• 3:55
  faithful,
• 3:56
  it
• 3:56
  comes
• 3:56
  to
• 3:57
  being
• 3:57
  faithful
• 3:57
  with
• 3:57
  your
• 3:57
  receipts,
• 3:58
  it
• 3:58
  comes
• 3:59
  to
• 3:59
  being
• 3:59
  faithful
• 3:59
  with
• 4:00
  your
• 4:00
  records,
• 4:00
  faithful
• 4:01
  with
• 4:01
  your
• 4:01
  details.
• 4:02
  Because
• 4:03
  when
• 4:03
  you're
• 4:03
  prepared,
• 4:04
  when
• 4:04
  you're
• 4:04
  faithful
• 4:05
  in
• 4:05
  those
• 4:05
  things,
• 4:06
  you're
• 4:06
  going
• 4:06
  to
• 4:06
  build
• 4:07
  peace
• 4:07
  and
• 4:08
  you're
• 4:08
  going
• 4:08
  to
• 4:08
  build
• 4:08
  trust
• 4:09
  and
• 4:09
  you're
• 4:09
  going
• 4:09
  to
• 4:09
  reduce
• 4:10
  that
• 4:10
  stress.
• 4:10
  So
• 4:11
  here
• 4:11
  is
• 4:11
  your
• 4:11
  action
• 4:12
  step
• 4:12
  for
• 4:12
  today.
• 4:13
  And
• 4:13
  this
• 4:13
  one
• 4:13
  is
• 4:14
  super
• 4:14
  simple.
• 4:14
  And
• 4:15
  I'm
• 4:15
  going
• 4:15
  to
• 4:15
  tell
• 4:15
  you
• 4:15
  right
• 4:15
  now,
• 4:16
  this
• 4:16
  is
• 4:16
  a
• 4:16
  game
• 4:16
  changer.
• 4:17
  You're
• 4:17
  going
• 4:17
  to
• 4:17
  want
• 4:17
  to
• 4:17
  share
• 4:17
  this
• 4:18
  episode
• 4:18
  with
• 4:18
  others.
• 4:18
  I'll
• 4:19
  talk
• 4:19
  a
• 4:19
  little
• 4:19
  bit
• 4:19
  later
• 4:19
  how
• 4:20
  to
• 4:20
  do
• 4:20
  that.
• 4:20
  But
• 4:20
  this
• 4:20
  one
• 4:21
  is,
• 4:21
  is
• 4:21
  going
• 4:21
  to
• 4:22
  change
• 4:22
  the
• 4:23
  dynamic
• 4:23
  of
• 4:23
  taxes
• 4:24
  for
• 4:24
  you.
• 4:25
  Here's
• 4:25
  the
• 4:25
  big
• 4:25
  takeaway
• 4:26
  and
• 4:26
  it's
• 4:26
  really
• 4:26
  simple.
• 4:27
  I
• 4:27
  want
• 4:27
  you
• 4:27
  to
• 4:28
  create
• 4:28
  a
• 4:28
  simple
• 4:29
  tax
• 4:29
  folder.
• 4:30
  It's
• 4:30
  really
• 4:30
  that
• 4:30
  easy.
• 4:31
  If
• 4:31
  you're
• 4:31
  a
• 4:31
  digital
• 4:32
  person,
• 4:32
  create
• 4:33
  a
• 4:33
  digital
• 4:33
  tax
• 4:33
  folder
• 4:34
  on
• 4:34
  your
• 4:34
  computer.
• 4:35
  If
• 4:35
  you're
• 4:35
  a
• 4:35
  person
• 4:36
  that
• 4:36
  likes
• 4:36
  paper,
• 4:37
  fantastic.
• 4:37
  Go
• 4:38
  get
• 4:38
  yourself
• 4:38
  an
• 4:38
  envelope.
• 4:39
  Go
• 4:39
  get
• 4:39
  yourself
• 4:40
  a
• 4:40
  Folder,
• 4:40
  whatever
• 4:41
  that
• 4:41
  is,
• 4:41
  and
• 4:41
  write
• 4:41
  on
• 4:41
  there
• 4:42
  20,
• 4:42
  25
• 4:43
  tax
• 4:43
  time.
• 4:44
  If
• 4:44
  you're
• 4:44
  listening
• 4:44
  to
• 4:44
  this
• 4:44
  in
• 4:45
  the
• 4:45
  future,
• 4:45
  whatever
• 4:46
  tax
• 4:46
  year
• 4:46
  you're
• 4:46
  planning
• 4:47
  for,
• 4:47
  but,
• 4:47
  but
• 4:47
  just
• 4:48
  start
• 4:48
  there.
• 4:49
  And
• 4:49
  once
• 4:49
  you've
• 4:49
  got
• 4:49
  that
• 4:50
  folder,
• 4:50
  here's
• 4:50
  the
• 4:51
  other
• 4:51
  super
• 4:51
  easy
• 4:52
  part.
• 4:52
  Drop
• 4:52
  your
• 4:53
  receipts
• 4:53
  in
• 4:53
  there
• 4:54
  as
• 4:54
  you
• 4:54
  get
• 4:54
  tax
• 4:55
  documents
• 4:55
  throughout
• 4:56
  the
• 4:56
  year.
• 4:56
  Put
• 4:56
  them
• 4:56
  in
• 4:57
  there.
• 4:57
  If
• 4:57
  you've
• 4:57
  got
• 4:57
  medical
• 4:58
  bills
• 4:58
  or
• 4:58
  any
• 4:58
  of
• 4:59
  those
• 4:59
  things
• 4:59
  that
• 4:59
  you're,
• 4:59
  you
• 5:00
  know
• 5:00
  what,
• 5:00
  Ralph's
• 5:00
  going
• 5:00
  to
• 5:00
  need
• 5:01
  this
• 5:01
  at
• 5:01
  tax
• 5:01
  time,
• 5:01
  or
• 5:02
  I'm
• 5:02
  going
• 5:02
  to
• 5:02
  need
• 5:02
  this
• 5:02
  when
• 5:03
  I
• 5:03
  go
• 5:03
  to
• 5:03
  prepare
• 5:03
  my
• 5:03
  taxes,
• 5:04
  make
• 5:05
  notes
• 5:05
  all
• 5:05
  year
• 5:05
  long,
• 5:05
  just
• 5:06
  put
• 5:06
  those
• 5:06
  right
• 5:06
  in
• 5:06
  the
• 5:06
  envelope.
• 5:07
  Because
• 5:07
  guess
• 5:07
  what's
• 5:08
  easy.
• 5:08
  If
• 5:09
  you
• 5:09
  do
• 5:09
  it
• 5:09
  as
• 5:09
  you
• 5:10
  go,
• 5:10
  you
• 5:10
  won't
• 5:11
  feel
• 5:11
  that
• 5:11
  stress.
• 5:12
  And
• 5:12
  if
• 5:13
  you
• 5:13
  make
• 5:13
  one
• 5:13
  small
• 5:14
  system
• 5:14
  today,
• 5:15
  just
• 5:15
  think
• 5:15
  about
• 5:16
  that.
• 5:16
  If
• 5:16
  you
• 5:16
  start
• 5:16
  to
• 5:16
  build
• 5:17
  this
• 5:17
  momentum
• 5:17
  today,
• 5:18
  it's
• 5:19
  going
• 5:19
  to
• 5:19
  bring
• 5:19
  you
• 5:19
  big
• 5:19
  relief
• 5:20
  tomorrow
• 5:21
  and
• 5:21
  bring
• 5:21
  big
• 5:21
  relief
• 5:22
  when
• 5:22
  you
• 5:22
  get
• 5:22
  to
• 5:22
  tax
• 5:22
  time.
• 5:23
  Because
• 5:23
  you're
• 5:23
  like,
• 5:23
  Ralph,
• 5:23
  I
• 5:24
  got
• 5:24
  it
• 5:24
  all
• 5:24
  here
• 5:24
  in
• 5:24
  order.
• 5:25
  And
• 5:26
  this
• 5:26
  works
• 5:26
  because
• 5:26
  that
• 5:27
  organization,
• 5:27
  because
• 5:28
  what
• 5:28
  did
• 5:28
  I
• 5:28
  say
• 5:28
  at
• 5:28
  the
• 5:28
  beginning?
• 5:29
  It's
• 5:29
  about
• 5:29
  not
• 5:30
  being
• 5:30
  prepared.
• 5:31
  It's
• 5:31
  about
• 5:31
  not
• 5:31
  being
• 5:32
  organized.
• 5:33
  Well,
• 5:33
  if
• 5:33
  you
• 5:34
  can
• 5:34
  get
• 5:34
  your
• 5:34
  affairs
• 5:35
  in
• 5:35
  order,
• 5:35
  especially
• 5:35
  your
• 5:36
  tax
• 5:36
  affairs,
• 5:37
  it's
• 5:37
  going
• 5:37
  to
• 5:38
  reduce
• 5:38
  your
• 5:38
  stress.
• 5:38
  Because
• 5:39
  when
• 5:39
  you're
• 5:39
  organized,
• 5:39
  there's
• 5:40
  less
• 5:40
  stress.
• 5:40
  You
• 5:41
  already
• 5:41
  know
• 5:41
  what
• 5:41
  you've
• 5:41
  got
• 5:42
  going
• 5:42
  on
• 5:42
  and
• 5:42
  you.
• 5:42
  And
• 5:43
  it
• 5:43
  turns
• 5:43
  that
• 5:43
  April
• 5:43
  panic
• 5:44
  as
• 5:44
  so
• 5:44
  many
• 5:44
  people
• 5:44
  panic.
• 5:45
  Listen,
• 5:45
  as
• 5:45
  we
• 5:46
  speak
• 5:46
  right
• 5:46
  now,
• 5:46
  as
• 5:46
  I
• 5:47
  record
• 5:47
  this
• 5:47
  episode,
• 5:48
  we're
• 5:48
  not
• 5:48
  far
• 5:49
  away
• 5:49
  from
• 5:49
  the
• 5:49
  September
• 5:50
  business
• 5:51
  tax
• 5:51
  filing
• 5:51
  deadline
• 5:52
  and
• 5:52
  right
• 5:52
  after
• 5:52
  that
• 5:53
  is
• 5:53
  the
• 5:53
  October
• 5:54
  tax
• 5:54
  filing
• 5:54
  deadline.
• 5:55
  You're
• 5:55
  thinking,
• 5:55
  wait
• 5:55
  a
• 5:55
  minute,
• 5:55
  Ralph,
• 5:56
  taxes
• 5:56
  were
• 5:56
  due
• 5:57
  back
• 5:57
  in
• 5:57
  April.
• 5:58
  Well,
• 5:58
  that's
• 5:58
  true
• 5:58
  for
• 5:59
  most
• 5:59
  people,
• 5:59
  but
• 6:00
  unfortunately
• 6:00
  a
• 6:01
  lot
• 6:01
  of
• 6:01
  people
• 6:01
  are
• 6:02
  procrastinators.
• 6:03
  They
• 6:03
  file
• 6:03
  that
• 6:03
  extension
• 6:04
  and
• 6:04
  guess
• 6:04
  what
• 6:04
  that
• 6:04
  is?
• 6:05
  It's
• 6:05
  like
• 6:05
  a
• 6:05
  six
• 6:05
  month,
• 6:06
  hey,
• 6:06
  you
• 6:06
  don't
• 6:06
  have
• 6:07
  to
• 6:07
  file
• 6:07
  on
• 6:07
  April
• 6:07
  15th.
• 6:08
  You've
• 6:08
  got
• 6:08
  till
• 6:09
  October
• 6:09
  15th.
• 6:10
  And
• 6:10
  unfortunately
• 6:11
  for,
• 6:11
  for
• 6:11
  most
• 6:11
  people,
• 6:12
  it's
• 6:12
  set
• 6:12
  it
• 6:13
  and
• 6:13
  forget
• 6:13
  it.
• 6:13
  And
• 6:14
  then
• 6:14
  I'll
• 6:14
  hear
• 6:14
  from
• 6:14
  them
• 6:14
  the
• 6:14
  beginning
• 6:15
  of
• 6:15
  October,
• 6:15
  like,
• 6:15
  Ralph,
• 6:16
  we
• 6:16
  gotta
• 6:16
  get
• 6:16
  these
• 6:16
  taxes
• 6:16
  done.
• 6:17
  I
• 6:17
  got
• 6:17
  15
• 6:17
  days.
• 6:17
  I'm
• 6:18
  like,
• 6:18
  yeah,
• 6:18
  guess
• 6:18
  what?
• 6:19
  You
• 6:19
  had
• 6:20
  all
• 6:20
  of
• 6:20
  last
• 6:20
  year
• 6:20
  to
• 6:20
  prepare.
• 6:21
  You've
• 6:22
  had
• 6:22
  all
• 6:22
  nearly
• 6:23
  10
• 6:23
  months,
• 6:23
  10
• 6:23
  and
• 6:24
  a
• 6:24
  half
• 6:24
  months
• 6:24
  this
• 6:24
  year
• 6:24
  to
• 6:25
  prepare,
• 6:25
  and
• 6:26
  you're
• 6:26
  still
• 6:26
  not
• 6:26
  organized.
• 6:27
  And
• 6:28
  that
• 6:28
  leads
• 6:28
  to
• 6:28
  stress,
• 6:29
  it
• 6:29
  leads
• 6:29
  to
• 6:30
  panic.
• 6:30
  And
• 6:30
  maybe
• 6:31
  not
• 6:31
  for
• 6:31
  April,
• 6:31
  but
• 6:31
  now
• 6:32
  we
• 6:32
  got
• 6:32
  panic
• 6:32
  in
• 6:32
  October.
• 6:33
  And
• 6:33
  trust
• 6:33
  me,
• 6:34
  it
• 6:34
  will
• 6:34
  also
• 6:35
  free
• 6:35
  you
• 6:35
  from
• 6:36
  that
• 6:36
  focus
• 6:36
  on
• 6:37
  when
• 6:37
  worrying
• 6:37
  about
• 6:38
  taxes.
• 6:38
  It'll
• 6:39
  allow
• 6:39
  you
• 6:39
  to
• 6:39
  give,
• 6:39
  it'll
• 6:40
  allow
• 6:40
  you
• 6:40
  to
• 6:40
  Save
• 6:41
  and
• 6:41
  it'll
• 6:41
  be
• 6:41
  absolutely.
• 6:42
  Allow
• 6:42
  you
• 6:43
  to
• 6:43
  live
• 6:43
  a
• 6:44
  more
• 6:44
  peaceful
• 6:44
  life.
• 6:45
  Because,
• 6:45
  hey,
• 6:46
  taxes
• 6:46
  are
• 6:46
  less
• 6:46
  taxing
• 6:47
  when
• 6:47
  you

  That's

  confidence
• 7:38
  in

  You

  Get

  Now.

  You

  Because

  folder
• 7:53
  today
• 7:54
  leads
