Bonus Depreciation is Back: Deduct it All Now | 2-9-26 Ep. 22

Good morning Business Builders! Welcome to Business For Breakfast, where business is the most important meal of the day. I'm your host Aaron Novinger, the Venti Business Guy or otherwise known as VBG! Our goal on this show is to make you 1% smarter today by unpacking business news over the last 24 hours sprinkled with tips and tricks to help YOU Mind Your Own Business. Today's Briefing on 02-09-26: Welcome back to the show! I am so fired up for this Magical Monday because we have some massive news that is going to put real money back into your pocket. We’ve been waiting to see how the dust would settle on some of these tax laws, and let me tell you, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA) just handed a huge win to every "Mom and Pop" Venti Shop out there. We are talking about the return of permanent 100% bonus depreciation. In this episode, I’m breaking down what that actually means for your equipment, your furniture, and your tech upgrades this year. We also dive into the new 1099 reporting thresholds—which jumped from $600 to $2,000—giving you a lot more breathing room with your vendors. Plus, I take a moment to answer a live question from a listener named O McPherson about how to stop over-analyzing and finally launch that health-related service business. If you’ve been feeling stuck, today’s the day we turn that noise into a signal. This Day in History: February 9, 1964—The Beatles made their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, launching the British Invasion and changing the world in under 24 hours. The "Daily 1%" Advice: ** Audit Your Assets: Take inventory of any machinery, furniture, or equipment you plan to buy this year. Under the new OBBBA, you can fully deduct those costs in the year they are placed in service rather than dragging it out over years. ** Update Your Vendor Files: With the 1099-NEC threshold now at $2,000, review your contractor payments. This significantly reduces the paperwork burden for your Venti Shop. ** The Cold Shower Test: If you are struggling to start a business, take a cold shower every morning for 30 days. It builds the "mental fortitude" muscle and teaches you to be comfortable being uncomfortable.

Rockefeller & The Power of Distribution 50:36 - Reframe Your Brain: Problems vs. Puzzles Novy Notes: "You have two choices: partner with a firm that obsesses over your business as much as you, or go hire an accountant." "The only competitive advantage we have as Venti Shops is our level of service and authenticity." "Distribution is the only thing that matters. Massive Action equals Massive Results (MA = MR)." "People always think you are crazy until they know you are a genius." "Routine is the Key and Consistency sets you free." Biz Lesson: Aaron breaks down the "Seven Plates of Business," focusing on how the owner of a Venti Shop (1–20 employees) usually has to spin all of them alone. The most important plate is "The Trade"—the actual work you do—but to grow, you have to move from doing the work to managing the other plates like taxes, payroll, and marketing. Aaron explains that once you hit about 25 to 50 team members, you finally get enough extra money and time to hire experts to spin those plates for you. Until then, you have to be "dangerous in a good way" by staying sharp and focused. Scott Adams How To 'Reframe Your Brain' Lesson: The reframe for today is: Stop thinking of your issues as "problems to feel" and start thinking of them as "puzzles to solve." Aaron shares how he deals with stress and panic attacks as he gets older, and how this mindset shift changed his life. When you "feel" a problem, it weighs you down and makes you freeze up. When you look at it as a "puzzle," you take the emotion out of it. You just look at the board, find the next move, and work the solution. In business, there is no such thing as "checkmate" if you keep looking for the next move. Hashtags: #SmallBusiness #BusinessNews #BusinessForBreakfast #Entrepreneurship #TaxStrategy
