What Trump’s $150K Tax-Free Proposal Means for Small Business Owners—And Why It’s Time to CEO That Thang

By Quintaria S. Brunson, Founder of The BlackPrint & The Brunson Approach

Let me be clear—I'm not here to tell you who to vote for.

But I am here to make sure that whoever’s in office, you and your business are positioned to win—not just survive but win.

You’ve probably seen the headlines about Donald Trump’s proposed plan to eliminate federal income taxes for individuals earning under $150,000.

Now, whether you believe it’ll happen or not, the question isn’t if the policy passes... It’s whether you’re prepared to use a financial break like this to your advantage.

What I know from both experience and observation is this:

Most people will treat it like extra spending money. The wealthy will treat it like strategy fuel.

I Didn’t Just Build This for Me—I Built It for Us

For over a decade, I’ve been helping Black business owners break ceilings, not just hit revenue goals.

Not with hustle or hype—but with real systems, real strategy, and real structure. I’ve guided clients through growing past $300K, into multi-six and seven-figure spaces, while putting the right financial and operational foundation in place.

Because we don’t just need income. We need legacy.

We need cash-flowing businesses, sellable assets, trust-backed life insurance strategies, and real equity—not just the illusion of success on social media.

And that’s what The BlackPrint delivers.

Let’s Talk Real Results

I’ve had clients come into The BlackPrint:

Working 60 hours a week, making $250K in revenue—but with no clarity on how to scale without burning out. Within weeks, we helped her hire a fractional COO, streamline her offer, and launch a recurring income model. She doubled her monthly revenue while working less.

Another client came in with an amazing service but no systems, no exit plan, and no backend support. Today, she's on track to sell a piece of her company next year and take a 3-month sabbatical with peace of mind.

One of my favorite wins? A business owner earning $125K annually who finally implemented what we taught about real estate, business credit, and long-term income protection. Now she owns two cash-flowing properties, a funded trust, and has built a business that doesn't require her presence to function.

This isn’t theory. It’s execution.

Why Most Entrepreneurs Stall at $300K

If you're making between $100K–$300K a year right now, you’ve already proven you can do the work.

But here’s what nobody told you: Scaling is a different skillset.

It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing less of the wrong things and creating systems that make money even when you’re not working.

So if this tax plan goes into effect and you suddenly get to keep more of what you make—will your business know what to do with it?

Here’s what I’d advise you to do instead of just “enjoying the extra money”:

Automate your key processes

Hire fractional experts to fix your backend

Streamline your offers so you’re not doing 17 things

Structure your financials for long-term borrowing and leverage

Start treating your business like an asset, not a job

Because a tax cut with no infrastructure is just new money waiting to disappear.

The BlackPrint Was Built For This Moment

When I created The BlackPrint, I didn’t want to just coach—I wanted to give business owners the framework to win even when the economy shifts, elections change, or the rules get rewritten.

Inside the program, we walk through:

Your business model and systems

Your pricing and profit strategy

Your team and automation needs

Your exit plan—because every business should be built with the end in mind

You choose the track based on where you're at:

Accelerator Level: 1-week intensive for fast wins

Momentum Level: 4-week coaching + implementation program

Legacy Level: Full-service, done-for-you buildout of your scalable business empire

So Let Me Ask You…

If you didn’t have to pay federal taxes on $150K starting next year, what would you actually do with that money?

Would it disappear into a more comfortable lifestyle? Or would it build something your kids and your community could benefit from?

We don’t get this type of opportunity often.

So, no, I’m not telling you to wait for a tax law to change. I’m telling you to move now like it already has—and build like a leader who knows their time is now.

→ Ready to CEO That Thang?

Register now or book a strategy call with me, and let’s talk about how we can take this moment and turn it into your million-dollar shift.

Because legacy doesn’t wait for elections.

It’s built intentionally, strategically, and unapologetically.

You don’t need more time. You just need The BlackPrint.

How to Scale Beyond $300K: The 7-Figure Business Roadmap

From the Power Desk of Madame CEO: Control, Expand, Optimize--CEO That Thang.

I have spent years watching our community work hard but build slowly.

The racial wealth gap is a well-known issue, but the scaling gap is rarely, if ever, honestly discussed. Too many Black and Brown business owners get stuck at six figures because teaching how to structure, scale, or exit a business the way the wealthy do is not discussed.

We know how to work hard, how to build from nothing, and how to create opportunities for ourselves. But what we do not always master is how to:

Scale beyond the daily hustle so our businesses do not need us 24/7 Maximize the tax code the way corporations and the wealthy do Position our businesses as assets so we can sell, pass them down, or turn them into long-term wealth

That is what keeps many business owners stuck at six figures instead of reaching multi-six and seven figures.

Working Hard is Not the Same as Building Wealth Many entrepreneurs work 60 hours a week, grinding to keep the business running, making anywhere from $100,000 to $300,000 a year, but still feeling exhausted.

I have been there.

I once believed that making six figures meant success. But when tax season came, when I wanted time off, or when I needed funding for my next move, I realized I was not building wealth—I was paying my bills at a higher level.

That is not success. That is a trap.

Why Most Businesses Get Stuck at $300K Once a business reaches six figures, the game changes.

At $100,000 to $300,000, working harder is no longer the solution—systems are.

At $300,000 and beyond, taxes, funding, and wealth strategies matter more than effort.

At $1,000,000 and above, the business runs without the owner, which is how real wealth is built.

If the revenue is there, but the financial security and growth are not, it is time to change the approach.

Three Strategies to Scale Beyond $300K & Build a Business That Runs Without You Most business owners become their business, meaning everything stops if they step away. That is not a business but a high-paying job with no benefits.

Wealthy entrepreneurs build businesses that generate revenue even when they are not actively working. They automate, delegate, and establish systems that allow the business to grow without them being involved in every detail.

The BlackPrint DIY Workbook provides a step-by-step guide to creating a scalable, sellable business model that does not require the owner to handle everything.

Master the Tax Code and Optimize Financials Many six-figure business owners pay more in taxes than necessary because they operate like employees rather than business owners.

I worked with a client who made $250,000 per year but was paying more than $80,000 in taxes. By restructuring her business, implementing tax-saving strategies, and setting up the right financial systems, she saved more than $52,000 in just one year.

The BlackPrint Accelerator Webinar provides business owners with tax strategies, pricing models, and financial automation techniques that allow them to keep more of what they earn and build wealth.

Position the Business to Sell, Even If Selling Is Not the Goal The wealthiest entrepreneurs do not just make money—they build businesses that are valuable assets.

Even if a business owner never plans to sell, the business should be structured as if it might be sold one day. A company designed for sale is duly designed for scalability. That means having clear financials, streamlined operations, and a structure that does not rely on one person to function.

The Momentum Coaching Program provides business owners with direct, hands-on coaching to help them automate, scale, and prepare their businesses for sustainable, long-term growth.

Scaling is a Choice, But Struggling is Too Many business owners wait until they are overwhelmed, burnt out, or financially stuck before they take scaling seriously. But why wait until frustration sets in when the solution is already available?

The BlackPrint was created as a shortcut to scaling. It provides a clear roadmap that has helped business owners break through the $300,000 plateau and position themselves for true financial success.

There are three ways to get started:

Do-it-yourself with the BlackPrint Workbook and begin implementing the strategies independently. Join the four-day live BlackPrint Webinar for direct coaching and guidance. Work with me in the Momentum 4-Week Coaching Program for personalized, hands-on support.

For business owners who are unsure where to start, I offer a free 30-minute strategy call to help map out a growth plan.

No one builds a legacy by staying stuck. The opportunity to scale is here—it is just a matter of taking the next step.

It is time to Control, Expand, and Optimize your business.
