You have always dreamed of owning your own business, nevertheless, you have never taken the intuitive to follow your dreams because you just do not know how. In order to effectively become a business owner, there are some steps that you must follow in order to achieve your goal. First, take the dream and make it a vision on paper. This is simply determining what you desire to do, but making sure that it is something that you love doing. If you are doing what you love, you will enjoy what you do! This assessment will allow you to be open to being the first one in, and the last one out. All business owners love their business enough to spend as much time, as they need to in the business, but loving every minute. Research is always a positive. If you love baking cookies, research the different types of cookies. Perfect the cookies that you do good, making them great. Then find information on others who have started cookie companies. Evaluate what makes them a successful business and elaborate on what you feel can make them an even better business. This information is conducive to writing a brilliant business plan. Now, lets get down to the brass business of starting a business. After choosing what it is you want to do, determine what you will name your business. You name is the first component to doing your legal paper work for your business. Then, it is now time to determine what type of business like whether you want to become a sole proprietorship (having the least taxes but greatest liabilities), a general partnership (consisting of having two or more people partnering with you in business), a limited liability corporation (LLC), which is only available in certain states, or a corporation (having the suffix INC, which insures the best protection). After securing and establishing the type of business you will have, the next step is registering with the Secretary of State. Go to your local government state web page to pull forms on registering your business. There you can also find other information that can be truly helping to a new and up coming business owner. Then it’s insurance time. Insurance is always your assurance in the case of emergencies. These are the types of insurances that are available and needed when starting a new business: liability insurance, property insurance, business interruption, key-man insurance, automobile insurance, and home office insurance, if you are running your business from your home. The last step is getting an Employer Identification Number (EIN). This number can be obtained by going to the IRS website and down loading form SS-4. You can either call this information in at 1-800-829-4933, or by faxing it in to the IRS. After you have finished all of these steps, you now are the owner of a legitimate business. Your next step is developing a marketing plan and next week we will assist you with this. Until then, have a wonderful time dreaming and bringing your dream to life!

You know, I am really one who rarely dibs in politics because I just believe that the church and state are separate, but I also believe that although separate- the church has played a lucrative role in getting politics to understand that we have a voice, freedom, and distinctive measures that we operate in, as the fore-runner for the people. Had it not been for the educated preacher with enough God in Him and the will to lose his own life that he might gain life more rewardingly, Pastor Martin Luther King, I wonder who would have been the fore-runner. John the Baptist, the fore-runner for Jesus announced the way of the coming Messiah to a land that was filled with political woes and politicians who felt they knew it all.
Nevertheless, I am so put off by the struggle that my President is faced with and his desire to fight for a people who are so unstable. One day they are with him, and the next day, they are joining in with criticism. “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” This is what comes to my mind when I think of Americans who voted for him and Democrats who stand by him, but have lost their zeal because of those who oppress him. Then my mind go to the crooks that we keep putting in Congress who get richer every day off our dimes, but would suffer even more of us being homeless and out on the streets, so that they won’t have to come out of their fat pockets for nothing! You know, the anger that I felt for them even debating on extending unemployment made me want to tell every homeless person in America to find out where their congressmen live and sleep on their lawns! But if they did not care about you being homeless, they surely would not care about you being thrown in jail because to them, at least you will have some place to lay your heads. What is our country coming to when, your state congressman can employ a man and give him insurance for his family with a $6000.00 deductible. Then have the nerve to give him $72.00 a month, and say this is to help them with their doctor expenses. And this is exactly what your President is trying to prevent. I understand we all have the power to get wealth and whether some tap into it or not, it does not give those who have the right to treat those who labor for you as hired slaves. We have to stop looking at people as rich or poor, or black or white, and start looking at people as brother or sister. I hear God saying, “I gave to them a President from both sides, and still they did not see that they were one.” Instead of the oneness, I just believe that they see our President just like the Philistine Goliath saw David, “as a little boy”, but what they did not recognize was that David came in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom they have defiled…..because when you do God’s people any kind of way whether just or unjust, saved or unsaved, poor or rich…you do it unto HIM. But I also hear God saying, “It is written that if My people who are called by My name, would humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked way, then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and heal their land.” Our land is in need of a healing and God is waiting on His true believers to allow the Holy Spirit to usher us into prayer. Not for money and jobs, but that His face be seen in dark places, that His glory would fill the temples, and that His will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven! Just as God appoints Kings, he appoints Presidents,! We must remember that we belong to God....good, bad, indifferent, talkative, shy, clean, dirty, sinful, grateful, or unthankful...He is God and He knows. |
