Chris:

I loved how you put it - “it will have a compounding effect on my life and income.” That’s a very startling and powerful way to put it!

Thanks for making your presence known.

Hi Stephen,

I am glad that you have “pulled the trigger” and created a business around your skills. I believe that it will have a compounding effect on your life and income.

Your blog gets better with each new post. I love it.

@Corinne: My understanding is that since my speaking business is an LLC, there is no need to provide anything extra to anyone because unlike the formation of a corporation, LLCs are not required to submit things like meeting minutes or activities of the company, etc. Correct me if I’m wrong.

@Karen: I hope you find this post useful for your own pursuits. It’s really easy to do, establishing creditability in the eyes of potential clients. It also sends a strong message to the universe that you are serious about your business/future prosperity.

@Deep Sea Monsters: (What an interesting name for a website!) Unless I’m mistaken, there is no need to “transfer or adding your assets as business assets.” I’m actually not sure about that. Does anyone out here know about this?

Sounds really easy. How do you go about adding your own assets as business assets (transferring websites from personal to the business) ?

This is a good post, Stephen. I formed one of my corporations just as you said. It is easy to do.

My only addition is to make the activities of your corporation - they will ask for this - really broad so you can use it for other things you might do. “Communication” is a good term. Training. Media. Publishing. etc.
