Welcome to Small Business Mornings! I'm your host, Pat Miller, the founder of the Small Business Owners Community (SBOC). Today, we need to discuss a critical new financial report that small business owners must file by the end of the year, or you could face fines of $500 a day and even jail time. Have you filed your FinCEN report yet? No one seems to be talking about this, so we're diving in today with Cierra to explain what this is all about and how to avoid penalties. Also coming up, we'll talk about entering a dead zone for client communication, our question of the week about impulse business purchases, and some exciting changes and reminders for the SBOC community.

Happy Monday! Is it the 4th of July yet? Summer is in full swing with fireflies, rounds of golf, and brats on the grill. What did you do this weekend? I played some golf, worked in the yard, and mostly relaxed. In other news, our monthly meetups are moving to the Technology Innovation Center in Wauwatosa, and we’re building partnerships to serve more entrepreneurs. Plus, we're making big changes to the SBOC, including a 200-member cap and a shift to an annual fee structure. Don't forget to check out our Meme of the Week, and remember, these changes go into effect on July 1st. Thanks for joining this episode of Small Business Mornings.
