My First Million

The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.

Back to Beliefs

The US tax system intentionally favors business owners and real estate investors

Evidence

Significantly more deduction categories, depreciation benefits, and exemptions available to business income vs W2 income

Implication

Anyone optimizing for wealth should seriously consider business ownership over employment

Counter Belief

W2 employment provides stability and benefits that offset tax disadvantages

Example Application

Software engineer evaluating whether to become independent contractor to access business tax deductions
