24 ours from now Joel Liu and I will be talking about our business philosophies. If you've ever heard us drone on before you know that if you're making any money streaming you own a business. Come learn more about running it noon tomorrow on twitch.tv/streamersquare !

There are only four things you can do with money and it's on you to find the combination of those four that works for you. ow.ly/T7Y030i35PB

You can earn, spend, save, or give away money. What combination makes the most sense for you? It's actually more complex as a streamer. ow.ly/kB2030i5Hti

The cool thing about being a business owner (and you are as a streamer!) is that you have more control than most over how you receive money. ow.ly/8ddv30i5I2t

In addition to control in how you receive money, streamers have a LOT more options when it comes to saving. You need to know your options as a small business owner. ow.ly/Rcsd30i5I6s

One of my favorite things about Twitch is that you all do so much for charity. Donating money is one of the four things you can do with money... and it's one of the most satisfying! ow.ly/JagJ30i5IQd

Have you looked at your own strengths and weaknesses as a part of your business plan? It's not super fun, but I've done it! wp.me/p80bsN-fh

In addition to looking at your own strengths and weaknesses you need to look at the external opportunities and threats for your business. Don't forget, if you're earning income on Twitch you're a business owner. wp.me/p80bsN-fh

One of the biggest things you as a business owner can do for your taxes is REVIEW YOUR EXPENSES! Broadcasters, it's not fun to do but you still might have time to help with your 2017 taxes. ow.ly/Snyh30im9ra

2017 may be over but there's a bit more you might be able to do to help with taxes. This is especially true if you're a broadcaster and earning money from it. Having a business gives you more options! ow.ly/84nT30im9vA
