Tax Tips for Traders: Plus! How to Set Up Your Trading Business the Right Way with Tommy Thornburgh
TRADEway • April 9, 2021

Your stock trading business is thriving. What now?
"Now raise your right hand, and repeat after me: 'I solemnly swear not to do my own taxes, and I probably won't mow my grass anymore.'" - David Mitchell
Today we're going to have FUN talking taxes.
No, we are not
messing with you!
In this episode, Tommy Thornburgh & David Mitchell will cover...
- Why you do NOT need to be doing your own taxes, especially if you're a trader
- How doing your taxes relates to mowing your lawn, and how this can make you more like Warren Buffet 😉
- Business credit and why it's important
- Why you want to protect yourself from lawsuits (even if you think 'that could never happen to me')
"It's not a matter of cheating the system. We want to do things by the book. But if that book is 72,000+ pages, that gives us a lot of area to be able to find deductions that ultimately keep money in the entrepreneur's pocket." - Tommy Thornburgh, President of Prime Corporate Services

What if I told you that the Bible teaches that you can use debt to get out of poverty? Today I want to take on the question “Is it okay to take on debt as a Christian?” Now debt is obviously a big topic, and people tend to have a lot of opinions about it. My hope is that I’m able to bring some Biblical clarity to the issue and offer some things for you to think about. Let’s get into it.

What does it mean for TRADEway to be a faith-based stock market education company? We started our company with a specific audience in mind–God’s people–to equip them with decades worth of knowledge and experience in the business world so that they too could go out and make a difference. Because let’s face it–it’s going to take some money to build a Christian culture and expand God’s kingdom. Remember, God works through means. And you–my brothers and sisters–are the means that he uses to make these things happen. The Lord wants us to thrive financially. We see this throughout scripture.
