In recent years, a challenge to finish the last 90 days of the year strong has gained much popularity. In fact, if you type the phrase, “last 90 days” in your Google search bar, you will undoubtedly come up with several results from Rachel Hollis and The Hollis Co. The premise of it is that you are getting a jump-start on your New Year’s Resolutions by starting them 90 days before year’s end so by the time January 1 rolls around you are well into your new and improved self and/or habit making it much more likely, that you will stick with the resolution. This year seems that people are chomping at the bit to say “goodbye” to 2020 and “hello” to a hopefully better, COVID-free 2021. Let’s take that Last 90 Days Challenge to finish the year strong with our businesses and any tax-related items.
