Six months ago I jumped into the wild.. again. Thanks to my X fam for all the projects and support that lit the path. 🙏
Now I consult for an award-winning firm, founded a data startup, and made progress on my first book. Props to my mentors for the push.
@kempthofficial@RMGOColorado Me too! but that amount is only if they added $30k cash to the prize. As it stands if you live in Colorado.
Federal withholding (24%): $19,200
Extra state income tax: ~$3,600
DMV taxes/fees: ~$6,400
Total owed: ~$29,000 upfront (and maybe more depending on federal bracket).
@riflenegro@RMGOColorado Yea the cash I taxable too so :
The way most people do it:
Truck value: $80,000
Tax stipend: $30,000
Total taxable income = $110,000
Tax stipend needed to cover income taxes: ~$31,960
•Out-of-pocket for DMV/sales tax (~8%): $6,400
@kempthofficial@RMGOColorado The IRS considers prizes ordinary income. the truck ($80,000)
22–24% bracket, you’d owe about $19k in federal income tax. they usually withhold 24% upfront before handing over the truck.
Even with a $30k “tax cash” included, you’d still owe roughly $7,800 out-of-pocket.

One of the biggest foundational mistakes I see?
👉 Not getting crystal clear on your service lines from day one.
Bonuses should motivate and make you money.
But first—get your labor numbers right.
✅ Real budget
✅ Clear targets
✅ Aligned incentives
That’s the difference between culture-building and cost-draining.

A personal and important UPDATE from the MADNFT family.
Over the past few months, our co-founder Jeff has been quietly battling an illness something none of us expected.
Most business owners don’t know how to reward hourly staff.
I reward mine without spending a dime.
Set labor budgets. Track performance.
Split the savings with the teams that beat the clock.
This a win-win and it’s one of my favorite automation plays
