I read an interesting article today on one of my favorite blogs, Copyblogger, entitled What’s a Blog? I left a comment on there and I’m curious what you think. Read Brian’s post and feel free to comment over there but then return here and let’s discuss it.

Here’s where I see the blog world is going  -

The definition of a blog must change over the years and adapt to the ever changing world. Some people, if not most, consider blogs to simply be a website.

But when will they truly become more? Will blogs be transmitted over radio air waives in the future? Will a blog be information that can be downloaded to a memory stick and transferred to car’s CD player or iPod?

Personally, I think the next move for blogs is to become more mobile and accessible to everyone.

What do you think?

The difference between a dream and a goal is a timeline.

To be creative, you have to first believe you are creative.

A short time ago I received an email from a young entrepreneur asking me how he was suppose to compete in a marketplace where the competition was high and more established companies had big advertising bucks. I mentioned a few ideas to him but the one that concerned him the most was creativity. Give him numbers and he’ll work them, but tell him to come up with some creative idea, forget it.

He said he doesn’t have a creative bone in his body.

People who tell themselves that have already lost unless they decide to do something about it.

The development of a creative thought process is no different than learning martial arts. At first, someone shows you how to stand, execute proper body movement, and teaches you a Kata (a.k.a form - a set of movements that help develop your technique).

In the Entrepreneur’s Lounge I discuss the different business structures available to business owners in the United States (sole proprietor, partnerships, corporations, limited liability companies, and living trusts). If you’re only in the beginning stages of starting a business and don’t own many assets or other businesses, simply setting up one business structure, such as an LLC, is usually sufficient.

But what do you do as your business flourishes and you begin to acquire assets? Is owning only one business structure provide you with nearly 100% asset protection?

The answer is no. The best method for asset protection is to combine the power of different business structures.

Example

Let’s assume a few years back you wanted to start a landscape company (I use this example because my brother and father own Modern Landscape, LLC). You formed an LLC which is to own the business and insulate you and your personal assets from any possible lawsuits that may occur as a result of your landscape company’s work.

As an opening statement I make in eVentureBiz’s Entrepreneur’s Lounge, I quote a statement a real estate mentor of mine once said:

In this article we will discuss the typical business formations you see in the United States. These business structures can provide you, your family, and your business both tax benefits and protection from legal issues.

To set one up, contact us here at eVentureBiz, we can do this for you inexpensively and our work is superb.

Note: Choose your entity carefully. Setting up the wrong business structure for your business can cost you in many ways: taxes, regulatory restrictions, legal, and finance (stock) considerations are among a few. Give the design and structure of your business as much thought and consideration as you did your initial preparations.
