    There's three pillars that undermine every business. I don't care if you're a small Schedule C or whether you're a huge C corporation, it doesn't matter.

    All three of these things are important. It's just the scale of them that changes. And those three pillars are your legal format, your logistical organizations, and your tax considerations. You have to know these because if you change one, it changes the other two. They work together.

    That's why it's important to know all three of these because if you change something over here, you could be changing things over there and not realize it, get yourself in a lot of trouble, or lose a lot of money in the process

    We don't want that.

    When it comes to considering how to get your business started, there are two problems that always seem to come up. The first for many people is what kind of business is right for me. The second is not taking a good look at the skills every business person needs to have in their arsenal to be successful.

    In this episode, I will be going over the set of skills that all of the most successful business people have that you should also cultivate or hire someone that has them to build out the framework of your enterprise.

    I will also briefly discuss how to go about finding business ideas that might work for the community that you live in.

    But, most of all, it should give you a lot of food for thought.

  • Examining Your Likes

    Today, I want to discuss the necessity of examining your life experiences to help you determine how to choose the right type of business for you. After all, building a business is a huge undertaking, so wouldn’t it make sense to do something that you enjoy?

    Most of us, as we go through life, realize what we like to do and what we don’t like to do. It is a common reaction to our journey. It is one of the things that steers us in our quest to have a good life. But have you ever really sat down and looked at all of those feeling to see how you could use that knowledge to determine exactly what business you should be in?
