Tax of the Irish — The Luck of the Irish has run out as it pertains to taxation. The Emerald Isle, a notorious corporate tax haven with rates formerly held at 12.5%, has signed onto the global minimum tax agreements floating around the planet in recent years. The plan seeks to end the common practice of corporations domiciling assets, intangible assets, or their entire company in countries with more generous tax benefits, of which Ireland was a top player. The signing came just in time for the OECD meeting involving 140 countries who have been waiting on holdouts and havens like Ireland, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, and others, to agree to raise their corporate tax rates to 15%. An increase of 2.5% may not seem like a big deal, but its all about competition. Now that the landscape has moved closer to full flattening, it will be harder for firms like Apple and Google to domicile IP in these nations to pay lower taxes. Moreover, the plan calls for the corporate tax to be levied on business activity in each country, a staunch change from the current M.O. of taxing. It takes more than luck to stop peer pressure of that kind, even as that coercion ends an old Irish tradition. #tax #taxationistheft #taxtips #moneytalks #moneytips #wealthcreation #wealthcoach #smallbusinessowner #smallbusinesstips #digitalnomads #digitalnomadlife #locationindependent

Mind the GAP Many are currently experiencing a gap, that space between where we are at and where we would like to be. A void. No longer winter, but not quite spring. It breeds within us impatience and confusion. This "no-thingness' does not imply that within this space there is nothing. Buddha called this 'shunyata' - the emptiness or void. It may feel like nothing is transpiring, yet this time is actually potent and inspiring. We find it frustrating. We don't know what to think or do. We are here, and want to be elsewhere. In actuality this is the space for inception, the time before the dawn fertile for creation.Although sometimes scary and confusing, value this space. This is pure potential. Always remember that it is the pause between sounds that creates music. Be mindful of the gaps and grateful for the opportunities that shall prevail from them!
DO ATHLETES EVER REALLY RETIRE? ⠀ When people ask if I will ever do Ironman again, my answer is always the same. If you were an accountant and you retired from accounting, would you keep doing accounting in your spare time? ⠀ The answer for me is a hard no, I would not continue to do accounting and I’m pretty sure I will not be doing another Ironman anytime soon. ⠀ But that doesn’t mean I won’t dust off my figurative calculator once in a while and crunch some numbers for a friend or family member, and it doesn’t mean I won’t continue to “play” swim, bike, and run for many years to come. ⠀ Alas, I am not an accountant, but I was a professional triathlete for 14 years. I did make my living through the sponsorship and prize money I made by training and racing, and yes, at some point I drew a line in the sand and said, that’s it, I’m done. I retire. ⠀ The concept of “retirement” is strange for an athlete or for anyone who absolutely loves what they do. Most professional triathletes that I know aren’t like me. They don’t just stop training and racing triathlons. For most of us, triathlon has become such an integral part of our identities that we don’t even know how to stop or what that would even look like. ⠀ If I’m not a triathlete, who am I? ⠀ What will I do with the rest of my life? ⠀ What does retirement even mean? ⠀ Read on here: https://tinyurl.com/3h74utbn ⠀ ⠀ #ironman #financialfreedom #travel #entrepreneur
