Hi All,
I’m starting a new 26 part series today on the ABCs of Business...
The first installment is over here:

Hi All,
T-Eight days and counting till our Test Flight...
I am a full-time business person with a "regular" sales business to run, and did my own incorporation ten years ago. No one gave me any "rules" about how to maintain the proper records for my corporation so that I would maintain the asset protection that corporations provide to their owners.
Since I couldn't locate this info in an easy to use format, I developed this system myself, to help people like business owners who are looking for a fast, easy and step-by-step approach to getting their corporate records correct.
Here is my target customer>
□ Owners of “small” businesses with less than five owners;
□ Owners of regular corporations—both C and S corporations (Much of this information will apply to LLCs as well, but if you have an LLC you should trade for my LLC version- available later in 2008);
□ Corporations where the owner(s) are active in the day-to-day operations of the business;
□ Owners who want to understand these corporate records requirements and get their corporations working to protect their personal assets;
□ Owners who don’t have a large staff;
□ Owners who are very busy.
The system was specifically NOT designed for>
□ Companies with lots of silent "owners" (not involved in the business); □ Public companies;
□ Owners who are engaged in fraudulent or border-line criminal activity. (no amount of record-keeping can protect you if you are engaging in these behaviors).

Is Your Corporation Protecting You?
Hi All,
Like most small business owners, my business is rarely very far from my mind, and that goes for nights, weekends and vacations. And this is pretty common among the business owners I know.
I don't think this is a bad thing as long as I enjoy what I am doing. That doesn't mean I have to enjoy every task and every minute of what I am doing. It means that the totality of what I am working is something I find rewarding, challenging, interesting, and hopefully profitable as well.
My family loves to travel and do a lot of different things together. The kids have been to about thirty states with us plus England, Scotland, Canada, Mexico, eight Caribbean islands, and California (:-). As the kids get older, I hope they still want to travel with us! But, even when on vacation, I still find time every day to keep up with my phone messages, my email, and I usually have some project that I am trying to get done that I spend an hour or two in the morning and an hour or two in the evening working on.
This year we have planned a very relaxing, chilling out kind of vacation compared to our normal go-go 18-day "dusk to dawn" sightseeing and experiencing type vacations. We rented a beach house right on the beach at St. George Island, Florida (a barrier island close to Apalachicola, the oyster capital of the world) for a week and we have no plans except to enjoy ourselves.
Side note: I hope we get a thuderstorm at least one night-- the most amazing chain lightning I ever saw was here about fifteen years ago, and this time I have my Canon SD1000 ready to shoot video if there is a repeat performance...
Very relaxing, no big plans. Tennis courts 0.1 miles away for the girls to practice. The beach 50 yards away to play football, walk, fish and body-surf. With four books to read (Robert Parker's Spenser #33 School Days and #34 Million Dollar Baby plus "Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness" by Thaler, and "Games Lawyers Play with your money" by Simons). And my cellphone doesn't work, so I have to drive about three miles to get to a working connection (which is just fine).
And most important...
A high speed Internet connection, my laptop and all my notes for the CorporateVeil Pro program which launches in 9 short days. Perfect timing for a working vacation!!!
