Speaker 3: Yeah, he gave a super chat. So we'll get into
4:03
Speaker 3: it as we wait for miss Business to come in.
4:07
Speaker 3: So as waiting for her, I'll just kind of go
4:10
Speaker 3: over what we're going to be talking about today. So
4:13
Speaker 3: today's topic is how to start and run a business.
4:16
Speaker 3: This is a follow up from the episode that we
4:19
Speaker 3: put in put out a few weeks ago where you know,
4:22
Speaker 3: it got a really a lot of positive reviews, a
4:25
Speaker 3: lot of people you know were interested in it. So
4:29
Speaker 3: you know, during that episode A you should definitely watch
4:32
Speaker 3: that episode with Miss Business. She talked about you know, LLC,
4:36
Speaker 3: she talked about business formation, EI in numbers, different things
4:39
Speaker 3: of that nature. So and she also dropped her actual
4:45
Speaker 3: business blueprint course that she has on that episode as well.
4:50
Speaker 3: So we are doing a follow up because notice a
4:53
Speaker 3: lot of people have questions, so this is a perfect
4:56
Speaker 3: opportunity to kind of talk about some things that maybe
4:59
Speaker 3: we're not talked about during the episode, or maybe just
5:02
Speaker 3: go a little bit deeper, and also to answer live questions.
5:05
Speaker 3: That's probably the best part of the whole situation's question answer.
5:08
Speaker 3: So what we do with this for anybody that's not familiar,
5:11
Speaker 3: is Eyo University biggest online platform for education out there.
5:17
Speaker 3: So we've created an online institution where we actually have
5:21
Speaker 3: weekly classes every Wednesday at eight o'clock and the last
5:25
Speaker 3: Wednesday of the month, we have what's called open enrollment
5:28
Speaker 3: where the class is actually open to the public. So
5:31
Speaker 3: this is an actual window into eyl University for anybody.
5:36
Speaker 3: That's why it's on YouTube and it's also on our
5:38
Speaker 3: podcast outlets as well. So this is the opportunity to
5:40
Speaker 3: actually see what we have going on, what we do
5:43
Speaker 3: on an ongoing basis at eyl University, and if you're
5:47
Speaker 3: interested in joining, then you know, the doors are open
5:49
Speaker 3: for you to join. So part of eyl University is
5:54
Speaker 3: that we have the weekly classes every Wednesday, which is
5:56
Speaker 3: a different topic every single week. We do about real estate,
6:00
Speaker 3: talk about credit, and talk about business formation, we talk
6:02
Speaker 3: about trust wills, all kinds of different stuff and it's interactive.
6:06
Speaker 3: A lot of people ask like, what's the difference between
6:07
Speaker 3: that and the podcast where it's like the podcast you
6:10
Speaker 3: listen to the content, Eyo University is something that you actually,
6:13
Speaker 3: you know, interact with, you know people that's presenting, so
6:16
Speaker 3: you get to ask questions on zooms in the zoom chat.
6:19
Speaker 3: It's a more interactive feel, but even deeper than that,
6:22
Speaker 3: there's a lot of other stuff. Almost every single day
6:24
Speaker 3: that's something so shout out to Lawrence. He's taking over
6:27
Speaker 3: our investment wing. So he does a twelve o'clock class
6:31
Speaker 3: on Monday which he actually goes over trading, goes over
6:34
Speaker 3: the stock market technical. Now it's it's like live trading.
6:36
Speaker 3: It's a live trading class if you're interested in the
6:39
Speaker 3: options trading, stock trading, day trading, and stuff like that.
6:41
Speaker 3: That's every Monday at twelve o'clock and then every Wednesday
6:44
Speaker 3: at six o'clock. He actually does an entry to stock
6:48
Speaker 3: class where he actually talks about like opening a brokerage
6:50
Speaker 3: account like stock market one oh one, very basic information
6:54
Speaker 3: for people that's like just trying to get on board.
6:56
Speaker 3: We also have MG the mortgage guy. He does biweekly
6:59
Speaker 3: real estate calls. Troy does the book club and the
7:02
Speaker 3: movie club. I have financial planning calls. And then we
7:06
Speaker 3: actually have infinity groups inside of Eyo University as well,
7:09
Speaker 3: like over twenty different infinity groups. You have a Crypto club,
7:12
Speaker 3: you have real estate club, and these are people that's
7:15
Speaker 3: actually in eyl University and they actually formed clubs. So
7:20
Speaker 3: now it's like, you know, you might have thirty people
7:23
Speaker 3: in a crypto club meeting, you might have twenty five
7:25
Speaker 3: people in a real estate meeting. So it's a dope
7:27
Speaker 3: way to kind of network and build with each other.
7:29
Speaker 3: So it's a huge I mean I can go on
7:31
Speaker 3: for hours about that. But Eyo University is an interactive
7:35
Speaker 3: experience where you actually get to learn in real time
7:38
Speaker 3: and actually build a community. That's the best part about it.
7:40
Speaker 3: It's actually a community of people that network and build
7:43
Speaker 3: with each other. We're gonna be doing live events this year.
7:46
Speaker 3: It's discounts to all events, so if you're interested, it's
7:49
Speaker 3: fifty percent off the annual membership. I'll put it in
7:52
Speaker 3: here at eyouniversity dot com. I'll pin it in YouTube.
7:56
Speaker 3: So yeah, this is a way to actually see what
7:58
Speaker 3: we have going on. But Miss Business, you are here.
8:01
Speaker 3: What's going on? How are you? You're muted right now?
8:07

Speaker 3: Okay, yeah you didn't have that.
8:12
Speaker 2: Shout out to the zoom god. So yes, Miss Business.

8:27
Speaker 3: couple of years. She also sets up LLCs for people, business, Formation, bookkeeping,

Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, for sure. So we'll talk about you know,
8:42
Speaker 3: all of the other stuff that you have going on.
8:43
Speaker 3: But I know, you know, this class is kind of
8:47
Speaker 3: a follow up from the episode, So yeah, let's get
8:51
Speaker 3: into it.
8:52
Speaker 6: Yes, let's get into it. Because I have gotten so
8:56
Speaker 6: much great feedback about that episode. People were like, oh
9:00
Speaker 6: my god, you gave me so much inspiration. I was
9:03
Speaker 6: able to start my business. Everybody needed the virtual address link.
9:09
Speaker 7: It was like, it's crazy, it's.
9:13
Speaker 6: So crazy, Like I love I love that. You know,
9:16
Speaker 6: people aren't only like listening, but they're actually taking action
9:21
Speaker 6: and so that's the best part to me because they
9:24
Speaker 6: are definitely on it. All right, let me present, I'm
9:28
Speaker 6: gonna share my screen.
9:43
Speaker 3: What was some of the questions that you got from
9:45
Speaker 3: after the episode?
9:46
Speaker 6: Oh my god, everybody wanted to know how to change
9:49
Speaker 6: their business address. Everybody wanted to know that. So everyone
9:54
Speaker 6: wanted to know that more so thought provoking about just
9:58
Speaker 6: how to start a business. I think that's just the
10:01
Speaker 6: overall phone lines in my office have been kind of
10:05
Speaker 6: going crazy because people are like, I want to start
10:06
Speaker 6: a business. I want to start my business correctly. I
10:09
Speaker 6: don't know, you know, if it should be an LLC,
10:11
Speaker 6: if it should be an escorp. I want to do
10:13
Speaker 6: this right. And so I think the overall tone of
10:16
Speaker 6: it is that people are ready to just do good
10:19
Speaker 6: business and to legitimately start their business. So that that
10:24
Speaker 6: makes me happy and that should make you all happy.
10:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's extreme executing. Yeah, that's extremely encouraging.
10:30
Speaker 4: Right, not only do they want to start the business,
10:32
Speaker 4: but they know that some of the pitfalls that come
10:33
Speaker 4: with the formation of it and not doing it correctly
10:36
Speaker 4: and how far back that can set you. So to
10:38
Speaker 4: know that that's what people are asking is super encouraging.
10:41
Speaker 2: That's dope.
10:42
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, they are on it job that.
10:45
Speaker 4: The earners man, y'all love Yeah, different, that's special. We
10:48
Speaker 4: love y'all for really.
10:49
Speaker 6: All right, let's get into this, okay, So we're going
10:53
Speaker 6: to talk about how to start and run a business
10:55
Speaker 6: because a lot of times, you know, most times you
10:58
Speaker 6: may have hobbies that turn into business. Is you may
11:00
Speaker 6: just have a passion, or you may just be really
11:04
Speaker 6: good at you know something that you may say, you
11:07
Speaker 6: know what, you may have a skill, you may have
11:09
Speaker 6: something that you're like, listen, I really want to turn
11:11
Speaker 6: this into a business, or you may have already had
11:15
Speaker 6: you may already have a business that you're like, you
11:17
Speaker 6: know what, listen, I really want to, you know, start
11:21
Speaker 6: this and again a lot. I just started my business
11:25
Speaker 6: four years ago, so it hasn't been that long since
11:28
Speaker 6: I started my business. And when I really thought about
11:31
Speaker 6: what I wanted to talk about today as it related
11:34
Speaker 6: to starting and running a business, I wanted to talk
11:37
Speaker 6: about how to position yourself to start, positioning yourself to sell,
11:40
Speaker 6: and positioning yourself for funding, right, because those are the
11:44
Speaker 6: most well like the most important, well the top questions
11:48
Speaker 6: that I get all the time, like after I start, like, okay, now,
11:51
Speaker 6: how do I sell my product? How do I get
11:53
Speaker 6: people to care about it? And how do I get
11:56
Speaker 6: funding right, either even if it's in the beginning or
12:00
Speaker 6: it could be during your business, right, because most of
12:02
Speaker 6: us are thinking about the funding in the beginning of
12:05
Speaker 6: the business to just start it. But as you start
12:08
Speaker 6: your business, you're also going to have to consider and
12:10
Speaker 6: think about funding as well. A brief introduction to me
12:14
Speaker 6: and my business and what I do. For those of
12:16
Speaker 6: you who don't know me. My name is Shapana. I
12:19
Speaker 6: go buy this business across all platforms. I am a
12:22
Speaker 6: certified public accountant. Four years ago I started Brooks Alliance
12:27
Speaker 6: and now I have thirteen. Actually just hire somebody. Today
12:32
Speaker 6: I have fourteen employees, and so for those of you
12:35
Speaker 6: who need motivation, there's your motivation. Four years ago, it
12:39
Speaker 6: was just me. I was in corporated, trying to figure
12:42
Speaker 6: out what I was going to do, and I decided
12:45
Speaker 6: that I was going to take a chance on myself
12:48
Speaker 6: and bet on myself, and so I started my tax
12:50
Speaker 6: and accounting company, Brooks Alliance. And in regards to services
12:55
Speaker 6: that we provide, we provide personal tax preparation, business tax preparations,
13:00
Speaker 6: business formation, book keeping, tax planning, payroll. If you see
13:03
Speaker 6: the ADP, I have a relationship with ADP, so we
13:06
Speaker 6: do all of our payroll processing through them. It is
13:10
Speaker 6: so important, you know, to figure out what that business
13:14
Speaker 6: is going to be to serve, and that's what I do.
13:17
Speaker 6: So just wanted to give you guys a brief introduction
13:21
Speaker 6: to give you give you guys a little bit more
13:23
Speaker 6: about me. For those of you who don't know me,
13:26
Speaker 6: I started my career big four accounting firm. I stayed
13:32
Speaker 6: there for six and a half years, really mastered my craft,
13:35
Speaker 6: really made a lot of connections, a lot of relationships
13:38
Speaker 6: before deciding to start my business. When I did this,
13:42
Speaker 6: When I did decide to start my business, I was
13:46
Speaker 6: still at work and I was trying to figure it out,
13:49
Speaker 6: and I wanted to serve entrepreneurs, real estate investors, all
13:53
Speaker 6: of the entrepreneurs that today, you know, we're always like,
13:57
Speaker 6: you know, I want to get money. I want to
13:58
Speaker 6: get money, and so I just want to bring taxes
14:01
Speaker 6: and make it a part of the conversation. So that's
14:05
Speaker 6: a little bit about me now, jumping right into it.
14:08
Speaker 6: Let's just talk about positioning to start right. So when
14:11
Speaker 6: you're starting, you really have to think about, Okay, so
14:14
Speaker 6: what is a business?
14:15
Speaker 8: Right?
14:15
Speaker 6: So business is the practice of making ones living by
14:18
Speaker 6: engaging in commerce. So businesses range from so for prietorships
14:22
Speaker 6: to international corporations and can range in size from small
14:26
Speaker 6: to large. Now that is important because you have to
14:31
Speaker 6: think about where do you want to be? Where are
14:34
Speaker 6: you currently? Are you you know, at a job right now?
14:37
Speaker 6: Did you just start a business, did you just quit
14:39
Speaker 6: your job? But where do you want to be? Where
14:42
Speaker 6: you want to be is very important because if you're thinking, Okay,
14:46
Speaker 6: I want to just be a sop for prietorship, you know,
14:49
Speaker 6: I don't I don't want to bring on you know,
14:53
Speaker 6: any employees. I just want to do it by myself.
14:55
Speaker 6: Some people are like, listen, I want to have a
14:57
Speaker 6: side hobby, but you know, I want to know how
14:59
Speaker 6: to operate it properly. Some people are like, Okay, I
15:01
Speaker 6: want to have a business, but how big of a business?
15:04
Speaker 5: Right?
15:04
Speaker 6: What goes into it? What are things that you need
15:07
Speaker 6: to do? If you're thinking about being a big international corporation,
15:10
Speaker 6: you may need to consider, you know, positioning yourself to
15:14
Speaker 6: be purchased, to have investors investing you, to go public,
15:18
Speaker 6: things like that. So you have to think about where
15:21
Speaker 6: you are in your business now before we really get
15:27
Speaker 6: into it. I want us to think about and envision
15:30
Speaker 6: your future and the reason why. I always encourage everyone
15:35
Speaker 6: who's thinking about a business or getting into a business,
15:38
Speaker 6: because you need to establish your why. Establishing your why
15:43
Speaker 6: makes that journey of entrepreneurship, which is not an easy journey,
15:47
Speaker 6: it makes it so much easier when you have your
15:51
Speaker 6: why defined. So you have to define your why envision
15:54
Speaker 6: your future. So what does that dream look like? What
15:57
Speaker 6: kind of car do you want to drive, what kind
15:59
Speaker 6: of house do you you want to live in? Who
16:01
Speaker 6: do you want to be surrounded by? How much money
16:04
Speaker 6: do you want to have? What is what do you
16:06
Speaker 6: want to feel like? What do you want your health
16:08
Speaker 6: to be?
16:08
Speaker 5: Like?
16:09
Speaker 6: What do you want your reach to be? All of
16:11
Speaker 6: these things you have to like sit and just close
16:14
Speaker 6: your eyes and just think about it. That's what I
16:16
Speaker 6: did when I first started my company. Close my eyes
16:18
Speaker 6: and I thought about it and I said, you know what,
16:21
Speaker 6: what life do I want to live? Who do I
16:23
Speaker 6: want to be surrounded by? And when you become clear
16:27
Speaker 6: on what you want, it makes it so much easier
16:30
Speaker 6: to go after exactly what it is that you want,
16:33
Speaker 6: And so you cannot be afraid. And so many people
16:36
Speaker 6: are afraid to say what it is that they want.
16:39
Speaker 6: You have to you have to define it. What do
16:42
Speaker 6: you want to drive? Be very clear? How like what's
16:45
Speaker 6: your happiest moment? When are you your happiest self? So
16:48
Speaker 6: you have to think about that because entrepreneurship is hard
16:52
Speaker 6: and you are going to need a why like why
16:54
Speaker 6: are you doing this? So you have to think about
16:58
Speaker 6: you have to think about that. The next thing that
17:02
Speaker 6: you have to think about as you decide to start
17:05
Speaker 6: your business is what are your money goals? Right? How
17:08
Speaker 6: are you going to really break that down from you
17:12
Speaker 6: know and I use example here for one hundred thousand dollars,
17:16
Speaker 6: but if your goal was a million dollars, if your
17:18
Speaker 6: goal is ten thousand dollars additional a year, fifty thousand
17:22
Speaker 6: dollars additional year, whatever it is, you have to break
17:25
Speaker 6: that down, Okay, And so I gave two examples because
17:30
Speaker 6: I know a lot of times we always see for
17:32
Speaker 6: shock value people will you know, kind of put put
17:34
Speaker 6: out there. You know, to make a hundred k, you
17:37
Speaker 6: have three hundred and sixty five days, but realistically, like no,
17:41
Speaker 6: I mean some people, I mean you just have to
17:42
Speaker 6: get it done and work every single day, but you
17:45
Speaker 6: may not want to work every single day. So I
17:48
Speaker 6: broke that one hundred k down into two hundred and
17:51
Speaker 6: fifty days, which kind of excludes the weekends as well
17:54
Speaker 6: as holidays. So just taking a look at the top right,
17:57
Speaker 6: just breaking your money goals down, and why it's so
18:00
Speaker 6: important to break your money goes down again, It gives
18:03
Speaker 6: you direction. You know where you're going. So whatever amount
18:07
Speaker 6: of money you want to make, whether it is to
18:09
Speaker 6: replace your job or to bring an additional income or
18:13
Speaker 6: to create this you know the life that you want.
18:16
Speaker 6: Whatever it is, you have to be clear on it.
18:19
Speaker 6: So if it is one hundred k, three hundred and
18:22
Speaker 6: sixty five days, you break that down into months, and
18:25
Speaker 6: then you break it down into weeks, and you break
18:27
Speaker 6: it down into days. Now, keep in mind, I know
18:30
Speaker 6: most people when you all are doing the calculation, most
18:33
Speaker 6: people would try to take Some people hit me up like, oh,
18:36
Speaker 6: your calculation is wrong. So it's not wrong. When you
18:39
Speaker 6: guys are doing this, you have to take into consideration.
18:43
Speaker 6: If you have three hundred and sixty five days in
18:45
Speaker 6: a year and you break that down right into twelve months,
18:49
Speaker 6: you have to consider that not every month just has
18:53
Speaker 6: four just has four weeks, right, So if you technically
18:58
Speaker 6: took twelve months and then died it by four, then
19:02
Speaker 6: technically you would only get forty eight weeks right in
19:06
Speaker 6: a year, and there's fifty two right. So that is
19:09
Speaker 6: why you can't just keep dividing it. So you just
19:13
Speaker 6: have to consider how many weeks there are in a year.
19:17
Speaker 6: So you have let's say, if we have this hundred k,
19:22
Speaker 6: you have eighty three hundred and thirty three dollars a
19:24
Speaker 6: month you would have to make. So when people say, oh,
19:27
Speaker 6: I want to make one hundred k, it's like, are
19:29
Speaker 6: you positioned or are you in the are you in
19:32
Speaker 6: a place with your business to say that you want to,
19:35
Speaker 6: I mean that you can make eighty three hundred and
19:37
Speaker 6: thirty three dollars a month. If not, that means that
19:40
Speaker 6: you are not positioning yourself to make one hundred K.
19:44
Speaker 6: So now you have to start becoming creative to say, okay, well,
19:48
Speaker 6: how am I going to make eight thousand, three hundred
19:50
Speaker 6: and thirty three dollars in a month? What do I
19:54
Speaker 6: have to sell? How many people do I have to
19:56
Speaker 6: talk to? How many contracts do I have to close?
19:58
Speaker 6: What do I really need to do in order to
20:01
Speaker 6: get to this this number? And so again, being intentional
20:06
Speaker 6: about what it is that you want is going to
20:09
Speaker 6: make the difference when you are when you are starting
20:14
Speaker 6: a business, or you're doing anything in life. Now, what
20:16
Speaker 6: I did below with the one hundred k, the two
20:19
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty days, I pretty much broke that down
20:24
Speaker 6: into just dividing it by twelve. This formula works by
20:28
Speaker 6: keep dividing it because I excluded all the additional days,
20:32
Speaker 6: So it works out. However, again, if you wanted to say, Okay,
20:36
Speaker 6: I want to make one hundred K, but I want
20:38
Speaker 6: to take weekends off and I want to take all
20:40
Speaker 6: the all those US holidays off. Then that means that
20:44
Speaker 6: you are only I mean that means that you have
20:46
Speaker 6: to make twelve thousand dollars a month versus only the
20:50
Speaker 6: eight three hundred and thirty three dollars. So you have
20:53
Speaker 6: to think about that. So some people may look at
20:55
Speaker 6: that and say, Nope, well for one year, I have
20:57
Speaker 6: to go harder because you know what, I can't. I
21:00
Speaker 6: didn't budget or it's not in my bandwidth to do
21:03
Speaker 6: twelve thousand. Right, even though that's a limitation and we
21:06
Speaker 6: don't do those, you figure it out. I always tell
21:08
Speaker 6: people you, if it's the money problem, you have to
21:11
Speaker 6: figure out and be creative on how to make more money.
21:13
Speaker 6: Never for it to be a situation for you to
21:16
Speaker 6: sit back and say, oh, I don't have it right,
21:18
Speaker 6: that's a limitation, and there's so many ways to get
21:22
Speaker 6: money in this world. So never that you can't do it.
21:26
Speaker 6: Just you have to be creative and figure out how
21:27
Speaker 6: you are going to do it. Now, to extend the
21:32
Speaker 6: conversation from the episode that I did last week, well,
21:40
Speaker 6: I wanted to get into entities because a lot of
21:44
Speaker 6: times people are not clear on what type of entities
21:48
Speaker 6: they are forming, and why they are forming them, and
21:52
Speaker 6: what it needs. So I want to quickly break it
21:55
Speaker 6: down and just go through. Okay, if you know every
21:58
Speaker 6: single entity it means from a tax perspective, and I'll
22:02
Speaker 6: also break down as corpse visually because I know that
22:07
Speaker 6: it helps people really grasp the idea on what exactly
22:12
Speaker 6: that that savings is and how we can reduce those taxes. Right,
22:19
Speaker 6: and so most people, when you're thinking about your entities,
22:23
Speaker 6: most people will say that they want to start an LLC.
22:27
Speaker 6: And it's so it's so I call it like the
22:32
Speaker 6: popular entity because everyone just says that they want to
22:35
Speaker 6: start an LLC. And yes, from a legal perspective, it
22:39
Speaker 6: is going to protect you against liability the same way
22:43
Speaker 6: that a corporation will. So just keep in mind that
22:46
Speaker 6: you know most people will say to me, listen, I
22:49
Speaker 6: want to be able to write things off, So I'm
22:51
Speaker 6: going to start an LLC or I want to, you know,
22:55
Speaker 6: I want to. I don't want anybody to assume me
22:59
Speaker 6: and take my person no items, so I'm going to
23:01
Speaker 6: start an LLC. Please keep in mind, especially from a
23:05
Speaker 6: tax perspective, and LLC does not allow you to write
23:09
Speaker 6: off anything additional. Okay, that is a big misconception. Keep
23:14
Speaker 6: in mind that an LLC is not a tax entity.
23:18
Speaker 6: An LLC is a legal structure. And so what that
23:21
Speaker 6: means is that had formed an LLC does not breed
23:26
Speaker 6: you any additional tax write offs. So I have sole
23:30
Speaker 6: pro prietorship here and single member LLC because they are
23:34
Speaker 6: taxed the same exact way. The same things that you
23:37
Speaker 6: can write off as a sole proprietorship is the same
23:40
Speaker 6: things that you can write off as a single member LLC. Now,
23:43
Speaker 6: as a single member LLC, I do suggest that you
23:46
Speaker 6: register your business and you form your business, and you
23:50
Speaker 6: form your business correctly, because again, you want to separate
23:54
Speaker 6: out that liability. You don't want someone to come and
23:57
Speaker 6: sue you. And then all of the all of your
24:01
Speaker 6: stocks and your personal now your primary residence, all of
24:07
Speaker 6: those your cash that's in your accounts, all of those
24:09
Speaker 6: things that are personal to you. You want to be
24:12
Speaker 6: able to separate those out from your business. So just
24:14
Speaker 6: if in the event, you know we're in America, if
24:16
Speaker 6: someone goes assume you, you want to make sure that
24:19
Speaker 6: it's a situation where you are protecting yourself. So this
24:22
Speaker 6: is not in any way. Me saying that you don't
24:25
Speaker 6: need to form an LLC is that I want you
24:27
Speaker 6: to be aware that when you are choosing these entities,
24:31
Speaker 6: that you are telling the irs how you want to
24:34
Speaker 6: be taxed. No one talks about that. Everyone just talks
24:37
Speaker 6: about the legal side of it and the legal perspective
24:40
Speaker 6: of it. But we have to also consider what that
24:43
Speaker 6: means from a tax perspective. So if you see on
24:46
Speaker 6: the right hand side, I have business income not taxed
24:50
Speaker 6: on a business level. So only thing that that means
24:53
Speaker 6: is that as an LLC. An LLC is what's called
24:56
Speaker 6: a pass through entity, So that just means that it's
24:59
Speaker 6: a pass whatever the profit of the businesses, it passes
25:03
Speaker 6: through to your personal taxes and then your tax there.
25:07
Speaker 6: You're not you know, as a corporation, which will go
25:09
Speaker 6: over you're not tax on the business side, and then
25:12
Speaker 6: again tax on the personal side. It all flows through
25:15
Speaker 6: on your personal side and then your tax there. Now,
25:19
Speaker 6: in regards to the tax form and how it's filed,
25:23
Speaker 6: when you have a single member LLC or sole proprietorship,
25:26
Speaker 6: you will use Schedule see which is filed with your
25:30
Speaker 6: personal taxes, which is your tax form ten forty, So
25:36
Speaker 6: again you're not filing a whole separate business return. Business
25:39
Speaker 6: and personal is filed together. In regards to the tax
25:43
Speaker 6: liability that you have to think about when you form
25:46
Speaker 6: a business is your income tax, your self employment tax,
25:49
Speaker 6: and your state taxes. Okay, so keep those in mind.
25:53
Speaker 6: And of course state taxes only if you are in
25:56
Speaker 6: a state that taxes income tax, so those like Florida, Texes,
26:00
Speaker 6: you don't have to worry about income I mean state tax.
26:03
Speaker 6: Now let's talk about self employment tax. So self employment
26:09
Speaker 6: tax is fifteen point three percent. It's typically when clients
26:14
Speaker 6: come to me and they've had businesses, existing businesses, and
26:18
Speaker 6: they come to me and I'm all like, I'll always
26:21
Speaker 6: show them, like, hey, did you know that you were
26:23
Speaker 6: paying this additional fifteen percent on your taxes? And ninety
26:28
Speaker 6: percent of them will tell me no, they didn't know
26:31
Speaker 6: because no one explained it to them. And most of
26:34
Speaker 6: the time people aren't questioning what these additional taxes are,
26:39
Speaker 6: They just will, you know, pay it, because at the
26:42
Speaker 6: end of the day, they don't understand it. No one's
26:45
Speaker 6: explaining it to them, and so they just go ahead
26:47
Speaker 6: and pay. But you have to keep in mind this
26:50
Speaker 6: self employment tax really is just Social Security tax and
26:53
Speaker 6: Medicare tax. When you are an employee, if you've ever
26:57
Speaker 6: received the W two you receive, I mean you pay,
27:00
Speaker 6: your employer pays have so you pay seven point sixty
27:03
Speaker 6: five percent. Your employer pays seven point sixty five percent.
27:06
Speaker 6: But when you are the owner, you pretty much are
27:10
Speaker 6: responsible for the entire fifteen point three percent, Okay, So
27:13
Speaker 6: you have to keep that in mind when you are
27:16
Speaker 6: thinking about that. And so that is a high number.
27:19
Speaker 6: And I always say to people, would you let somebody
27:21
Speaker 6: just come to you and say, let me get fifteen
27:23
Speaker 6: percent of your business? You will tell them no. You
27:26
Speaker 6: would be like, no, why would I give you fifteen
27:28
Speaker 6: percent of my business? And so we have to think
27:31
Speaker 6: about it the same exact way as it relates to taxes. Okay,
27:37
Speaker 6: now let's talk about partnership and two plus member LLCs.
27:41
Speaker 6: So thinking about that, we also I put partnership and
27:46
Speaker 6: two plus member LLCs because very similar to a sole proprietorship,
27:50
Speaker 6: a partnership just means that two people got together started
27:53
Speaker 6: a business. However, they did not take the additional steps
27:57
Speaker 6: to separate, well, to register their business, which separates the
28:00
Speaker 6: business out from themselves, right, and so that is important
28:05
Speaker 6: for you to understand. And so the two plus member
28:08
Speaker 6: LLC just means that you form the LLC, you have
28:11
Speaker 6: two plus members in there, and you have registered the business.
28:14
Speaker 6: There is a separation between yourself and the business. Now
28:18
Speaker 6: you have your business income, so it says business income
28:21
Speaker 6: is not tax on the business level. Now the difference
28:25
Speaker 6: with the tax form and partnership people, please listen up
28:29
Speaker 6: because I have tons of people that make this mistake
28:32
Speaker 6: every single year. If you decide to form a partnership
28:35
Speaker 6: or two plus member LLC, you cannot just divide out
28:40
Speaker 6: the income and expenses on your personal taxes on a
28:43
Speaker 6: schedule see right. That is for single member LLCs. If
28:47
Speaker 6: you are a partnership or a two plus member LLC,
28:50
Speaker 6: you have to file tax form ten sixty five. That's
28:55
Speaker 6: where you're going to report all of your income, all
28:57
Speaker 6: of your expenses, and then you are going to receive
29:01
Speaker 6: a K one. So all partners are going to receive
29:03
Speaker 6: a K one. The K one pretty much just shows
29:06
Speaker 6: the profit of sorry the profit share of each of
29:11
Speaker 6: the owners. So if there was a business you all
29:13
Speaker 6: profited ten thousand dollars, there was fifty to fifty ownership.
29:17
Speaker 6: Each partner will receive five thousand dollars on their K
29:21
Speaker 6: one that they then will have to include in their
29:25
Speaker 6: personal taxes. Okay, so please keep that in mind. Now
29:31
Speaker 6: in regards to the tax liability you have to think
29:35
Speaker 6: about your income tax. There is self employment tax relating
29:38
Speaker 6: to a two plus member LLC, but to the extent
29:41
Speaker 6: of guaranteed payments, which just means that there was some
29:43
Speaker 6: additional work done by one of the partners that wasn't
29:46
Speaker 6: typically like in their scope in the business, so they
29:50
Speaker 6: were paid additional So that is kind of seen as
29:52
Speaker 6: look kind of like a payroll or salary almost. And
29:56
Speaker 6: then there's state taxes right again, if you are in
29:59
Speaker 6: a state that allow I mean, if you are in
30:03
Speaker 6: a state that requires you to pay state taxes. See corporations.
30:08
Speaker 6: So now see corporations, you are taxed on the business level.
30:12
Speaker 6: So what that means is that you are taxed on
30:15
Speaker 6: the business level. And as your tax on the business level,
30:20
Speaker 6: what happens, sorry, as your tax on the business level.
30:25
Speaker 6: That's very different from an LLC and a two plus
30:27
Speaker 6: member LLC that I just described to you, all right,
30:30
Speaker 6: because those are not tax on the business level. So
30:33
Speaker 6: to be tax on the business level. What that means
30:36
Speaker 6: is that your income and your expenses are being reported
30:41
Speaker 6: on your corporate tax return, which if you see below
30:44
Speaker 6: that is taxed form eleven twenty. Whatever that profit is,
30:48
Speaker 6: you will pay taxes on that on the business level.
30:53
Speaker 6: So on that corporation tax return, there will be a
30:56
Speaker 6: tax liability do if you are operating out a profit.
31:00
Speaker 6: So in that same example, if it was ten thousand dollars,
31:03
Speaker 6: it doesn't matter how much how many shareholders and all
31:07
Speaker 6: is in the business, that ten thousand dollars will be
31:10
Speaker 6: taxed at twenty one percent. That is the corporate tax rate.
31:14
Speaker 6: So it will be taxed at twenty one percent then,
31:18
Speaker 6: and why, if you've ever heard about a corporation, you
31:20
Speaker 6: will hear double taxation because then you have your corporate
31:25
Speaker 6: corporate partners. Share of the profits then has to be
31:28
Speaker 6: distributed as dividends, right, and so now you have to
31:32
Speaker 6: deal with being taxed again. So this may you know,
31:36
Speaker 6: makes sense as it relates. So let's say an Apple.
31:39
Speaker 6: I always like to use Apple. Everybody knows you know
31:42
Speaker 6: Apple as the company. So think about if Apple's on
31:45
Speaker 6: the stock exchange, you can purchase Apple. You can own
31:49
Speaker 6: a piece of Apple. So now when you purchase a stop,
31:52
Speaker 6: you now are an owner of Apple. What happens is
31:56
Speaker 6: every year Apple has to file their tax form eleven.
32:00
Speaker 6: They have to pay their taxes and then guess what.
32:03
Speaker 6: Everybody everyone's looking for their dividends, right, their share, their
32:06
Speaker 6: profit share of what however much of the company that
32:10
Speaker 6: they own. So what happens is they will distribute our
32:13
Speaker 6: dividends and then guess what happens. You all receive a
32:17
Speaker 6: ten ninety nine DIIV which states, Okay, this is how
32:21
Speaker 6: much dividends the company has paid out to you throughout
32:23
Speaker 6: the year. And so when that happens, you then have
32:26
Speaker 6: to report it on your personal taxes. And when you
32:28
Speaker 6: have to report it on your personal taxes, what happens
32:32
Speaker 6: your tax again, So you have to think about that.
32:35
Speaker 6: And so most people will say, okay, well, if I'm
32:37
Speaker 6: paying all those taxes, like, why would it ever make
32:39
Speaker 6: sense for me to be a C corporation? And so
32:42
Speaker 6: some people are C corporations for some of the following reasons,
32:46
Speaker 6: such as they want investors, right, So some investors will
32:49
Speaker 6: require you to be a corporation if you ever have
32:53
Speaker 6: a plan to go public. If you have a plan
32:56
Speaker 6: to go public, then you will need to be a corporation.
32:58
Speaker 6: You cannot be an LLC and go public. You would
33:01
Speaker 6: have to be operating as a corporation. Some people it
33:05
Speaker 6: is an income threshold. If you are making over a
33:07
Speaker 6: certain amount of money, you will it will be in
33:10
Speaker 6: your advantage some of the time for you to be
33:13
Speaker 6: a C corporation. So those are some of the some
33:17
Speaker 6: of the reasons why you some companies will choose to
33:20
Speaker 6: even be a CEA corporation. Now, keeping in mind in
33:24
Speaker 6: terms of you know what the taxes look like. You
33:27
Speaker 6: do have your corporate income taxes, your dividend uh taxes
33:31
Speaker 6: that you well you're dividend, sorry, the dividend income is
33:35
Speaker 6: being taxed, and then your state taxes. Okay, so that's
33:39
Speaker 6: something to think about.
33:42
Speaker 4: Now, escort business real quick, real quick, because no, no, no,
33:47
Speaker 4: we just watch I'm taking notes and I'm watching I'm
33:49
Speaker 4: listening to this apple and I'm listening to the dividend payment.
33:52
Speaker 2: How is that is it?
33:53
Speaker 4: Is it tax as a as a long term capital
33:55
Speaker 4: game or is it like a short term How is that.
33:57
Speaker 6: Tax It's like short term like ordinary?
33:59
Speaker 4: Yes, So if they're doing like quarterly diffidens. Then you're
34:01
Speaker 4: getting short term capital gains on it.
34:03
Speaker 6: Yeah, because they yeah, they distributed short term, so it
34:07
Speaker 6: wouldn't really.
34:07
Speaker 4: Be more time perfect check in.
34:16
Speaker 6: All right, So escorps, so your escort, you have your
34:19
Speaker 6: business income, not tax on the business level. So with
34:24
Speaker 6: an escort s corporations is I love es corporations because
34:30
Speaker 6: I think that it is an amazing tool and it
34:33
Speaker 6: really as you start to sit back, you start to
34:35
Speaker 6: realize that the real separation between the escort and an
34:41
Speaker 6: LLC most of the time, it's just people not knowing
34:43
Speaker 6: about it. Most of the time. It's not that people
34:45
Speaker 6: don't want to be escorts, it's just that they never
34:47
Speaker 6: knew about it and knew the advantages of it, so
34:49
Speaker 6: they just did not take it, you know, take advantage
34:51
Speaker 6: of converting their LLCs or their corporations over to escorts.
34:55
Speaker 6: So let's talk about escorts and how they save business
34:59
Speaker 6: owned all the time on that self employment tax and
35:04
Speaker 6: help them significantly, Like I have clients save in thout
35:07
Speaker 6: like so like tens of thousands of dollars just by
35:11
Speaker 6: simply saying, Hey, I don't want to be an LLC,
35:13
Speaker 6: I'm going to be an sport. So with your business income,
35:17
Speaker 6: the business income is not tax on the business level,
35:20
Speaker 6: so similar to an LLC, it is a pass through entity.
35:25
Speaker 6: So with the pass through entity, again that just means
35:28
Speaker 6: that it is not tax on the business level. It
35:30
Speaker 6: passes through to the personal taxes and then it's tax there. Okay,
35:35
Speaker 6: So what happens with the es coort is that you
35:40
Speaker 6: have to file tax form eleven twenty S. So with
35:44
Speaker 6: once you file eleven twenty S, that's where you're reporting
35:47
Speaker 6: your income, that's where you're reporting your expenses, and then
35:50
Speaker 6: you have your profit. Similar to when you are like
35:53
Speaker 6: a partnership or two plus member LLC, each owner of
35:57
Speaker 6: the sport, because you can have up to one hundred
36:00
Speaker 6: owners in an escort, each owner will receive a K one.
36:04
Speaker 6: If it's just you, then you would have one hundred
36:07
Speaker 6: percent and one hundred percent of the profits will just
36:09
Speaker 6: go to you. So that K one is going to
36:13
Speaker 6: then be included on your personal taxes and then your
36:16
Speaker 6: tax there. However, the tax the taxes that you have
36:19
Speaker 6: to think about well that you will incur is just
36:22
Speaker 6: income taxes and state taxes. Notice I didn't say self
36:26
Speaker 6: employment taxes. So let's talk about that really quick, all right,
36:33
Speaker 6: So I have to always bring this chart into my
36:36
Speaker 6: conversation because it is so important that I give visuals
36:43
Speaker 6: because people digest it and understand it a lot more. So.
36:46
Speaker 6: This is a diagram of how someone that's making one
36:51
Speaker 6: hundred thousand dollars profit, how they were able to save
36:56
Speaker 6: on self employment tax by being an sport versus being
37:00
Speaker 6: an LLC. So to quickly run through this, on the
37:04
Speaker 6: left hand side, you have LLC, So you have one
37:07
Speaker 6: hundred thousand dollars of income that you made in your LLC.
37:12
Speaker 6: That one hundred thousand dollars is subjected to self employment tax,
37:15
Speaker 6: so that self employment tax is fifteen point three percent.
37:20
Speaker 6: That sorry, the income is then reported on your personal
37:24
Speaker 6: tax return, okay, and all the income is subjected to
37:28
Speaker 6: ordinary income tax. Keep in mind, all the income is
37:31
Speaker 6: always going to be subjected to ordinary income tax once
37:34
Speaker 6: it hits the bottom. This diagram is simply to show
37:39
Speaker 6: you how you are going to save on self employment taxes. Okay,
37:43
Speaker 6: So we're not necessarily getting into the reducing income taxes,
37:47
Speaker 6: but more so how to save on self employment taxes. Now,
37:52
Speaker 6: if we go to the right, you have your s
37:55
Speaker 6: corporation made the same hundred thousand dollars income. But you
37:59
Speaker 6: notice that the p and pay themselves a salary of
38:02
Speaker 6: forty thousand dollars. Keep in mind, when you are an esport,
38:07
Speaker 6: you are required to pay yourself a salary. It's no
38:10
Speaker 6: specific number or percentage, but you have to pay yourself
38:13
Speaker 6: a salary. Now, this person decides to pay their self
38:17
Speaker 6: a salary of forty thousand that is an expense to
38:20
Speaker 6: the business, so that the business is left with sixty
38:23
Speaker 6: thousand dollars on the right hand side. As you can see,
38:27
Speaker 6: let's just look on the forty thousand dollars side, forty
38:30
Speaker 6: thousand dollars. It shows that on that forty thousand dollars
38:34
Speaker 6: they encourage Social Security tax and Medicare tax, so that
38:37
Speaker 6: fifteen point three percent was taken out because guess what,
38:41
Speaker 6: they are an employee, so on their on their check,
38:44
Speaker 6: they took out fifteen points I mean sorry, seven point
38:47
Speaker 6: sixty five percent, and then the company paid the other
38:50
Speaker 6: seven point sixty five percent, right, but technically it's all
38:53
Speaker 6: their companies, so in this example, they were responsible for
38:57
Speaker 6: that fifteen point three percent. That forty thousand dollars was
39:01
Speaker 6: then reported on a W two. So before we go on,
39:05
Speaker 6: I just want to show you all that what this
39:08
Speaker 6: is saying here is that the person went from paying
39:13
Speaker 6: fifteen point three percent on one hundred thousand dollars to
39:16
Speaker 6: only paint it on forty thousand dollars. Okay, So I
39:20
Speaker 6: really wanted to point that out, and I like to
39:23
Speaker 6: improve this because it helps people understand exactly, you know,
39:27
Speaker 6: how that savings work, and so it really is, it
39:31
Speaker 6: really is the phenomenal tool by just changing your entity.
39:35
Speaker 6: I usually suggest that I always get this question on
39:37
Speaker 6: what income threshold, I usually say anything over thirty five
39:41
Speaker 6: forty thousand dollars, I suggest that you convert over to
39:45
Speaker 6: an escort. If you are making anything under that, then
39:48
Speaker 6: I would suggest remaining as an LLC until you are
39:52
Speaker 6: profiting you know, above those numbers, because an escort has requirements, right,
39:58
Speaker 6: you have to process kroll, you have to fire tax
40:00
Speaker 6: every single year. So you just want it to make sense,
40:03
Speaker 6: all right. So just to kind of finish out this diagram,
40:06
Speaker 6: we had the forty thousand dollars being reported on a
40:08
Speaker 6: W two, the sixty thousand dollars going to be reported
40:11
Speaker 6: on a K one, which also does not have any
40:13
Speaker 6: self employment tax, and then the whole hundred thousand kind
40:16
Speaker 6: of goes down and is going to be tax on
40:18
Speaker 6: ordinary income taxes. Okay, So I just wanted to talk
40:22
Speaker 6: about that now. I had to bring you guys through
40:26
Speaker 6: that because I think that it's like so important, and
40:29
Speaker 6: we talked about on the episode, like things you need
40:31
Speaker 6: to consider when you're forming your business, but I wanted
40:33
Speaker 6: to go into a little bit more on like, Okay,
40:36
Speaker 6: what does it all mean, and to make sure that
40:39
Speaker 6: you all are doing it correctly. So now positioning yourself
40:43
Speaker 6: to sell. Now you may know the craft, but not
40:46
Speaker 6: the business. This is so important because I feel that
40:50
Speaker 6: it doesn't matter what industry it is, the business side
40:53
Speaker 6: of things will take the fun out of everything. I
40:56
Speaker 6: have a ton of creative clients, and the business side
40:59
Speaker 6: of things just extremely stress them out because they're like,
41:02
Speaker 6: I just want to be, like I just want to create,
41:04
Speaker 6: Like even me, I most days I'm screaming. I'm like,
41:07
Speaker 6: I just want to do taxes. I want to do taxes.
41:10
Speaker 6: I want to educate, I want to talk to people, right,
41:12
Speaker 6: But then when I have to sit down and really
41:14
Speaker 6: do the business side of it, what I call fun,
41:16
Speaker 6: which I know most people want call fun, like doing taxes,
41:19
Speaker 6: but like what I call fun, it's not fun, right
41:23
Speaker 6: because the business side of it is so technical and
41:26
Speaker 6: it's so serious, and it's so important, and it's something
41:29
Speaker 6: that you have to really think about. When you're really
41:32
Speaker 6: thinking thinking about, you know, starting this business, you have
41:37
Speaker 6: to think about what do I what do I need
41:39
Speaker 6: to do versus what do I need to delegate? Or
41:42
Speaker 6: who do I need to hire? Or who do I
41:44
Speaker 6: need to engage? Like what consultant can I pay to
41:48
Speaker 6: help me? You know, eliminate a lot of mistakes. So
41:52
Speaker 6: put this picture hair, because you have to hire a team.
41:56
Speaker 6: And again I started out it was just me. I
41:59
Speaker 6: was answering phone, doing the consultations, doing the taxes, I
42:03
Speaker 6: was doing everything. However, I understood very early that I
42:09
Speaker 6: needed to hire someone. So my first person that I
42:12
Speaker 6: hired wasn't admin. That was my first person because guess what,
42:16
Speaker 6: there's a lot of administrative tasks and there's a lot
42:19
Speaker 6: of you know, duties that needs to get done on
42:23
Speaker 6: a day to day, but no one really talks about
42:27
Speaker 6: those things. Everybody makes it seem like you can do
42:29
Speaker 6: it all. But what start to happen is that I
42:32
Speaker 6: was forgetting things I wasn't able to show up, and
42:35
Speaker 6: I quickly quickly understood that I needed to hire a team.
42:40
Speaker 6: I also needed to delegate. What I didn't put on
42:43
Speaker 6: here that I want to talk about is just outsourcing
42:49
Speaker 6: and bringing in and hiring experts that you really need
42:54
Speaker 6: to hire. And so I want to spend a minute
42:56
Speaker 6: just talking about that, because when you hire an ex
43:00
Speaker 6: and most of you all are you know, on this
43:03
Speaker 6: you know, on this zoom right now, and so you're
43:06
Speaker 6: already showing up for yourself, right you're here, You're showing
43:08
Speaker 6: up for the information. So that is amazing. But I
43:12
Speaker 6: want you all to take it a step further and
43:15
Speaker 6: really take that knowledge and execute on it. Right, So
43:20
Speaker 6: we're all always talking about listen, you need to hire
43:23
Speaker 6: the experts you need to you know, get whatever knowledge
43:27
Speaker 6: it is that you need. You need to take it
43:29
Speaker 6: a step further. Right, So after you sit here and
43:32
Speaker 6: you get this knowledge, okay, so what is that next step?
43:35
Speaker 6: And so really really really think about, Okay, who can
43:40
Speaker 6: help me eliminate my mistakes? Who do I need in
43:43
Speaker 6: my one percent team? Isn't my CPA?
43:45
Speaker 5: Right?
43:46
Speaker 6: So I always say my one percent team includes my CPA.
43:50
Speaker 6: My fight, Well, I'm kind of the CPA I'm actually
43:54
Speaker 6: looking for to CBA because it's gotten to a point
43:56
Speaker 6: where I'm like, I need to like outsource some of
43:59
Speaker 6: these things, right, But as a business owner, you need
44:02
Speaker 6: a CPA. I help people say, so much money, I'm
44:05
Speaker 6: a tax right off, I'm a whole asset, right, And
44:08
Speaker 6: I say that. I jokingly say that to people all
44:09
Speaker 6: the time. I'm like, yeah, I'm a write off, but
44:12
Speaker 6: I'm truly an asset because not only am I going
44:15
Speaker 6: to save you on taxes, but I'm also going to
44:18
Speaker 6: help you with your business. I'm all. I also have
44:22
Speaker 6: the resources, right, and the experience, and a lot of
44:25
Speaker 6: people like don't value the fact of having people in
44:29
Speaker 6: your corner that you can pick up the phone to say, hey,
44:33
Speaker 6: do you have a referral for I want to start payroll.
44:36
Speaker 6: Who can I you know, get to my payroll?
44:39
Speaker 7: Oh?
44:39
Speaker 6: I want I need a financial advisor? Who do I need?
44:42
Speaker 6: Like those things are extremely important because you have to
44:47
Speaker 6: be able to eliminate the mistakes because if you're starting,
44:51
Speaker 6: and if you don't have anybody to say listen, here
44:53
Speaker 6: here's what you need to do. You have to create
44:56
Speaker 6: your team. So get your banker, get your lender, get
44:59
Speaker 6: you know that funding expert. Get these people, you know,
45:02
Speaker 6: whoever your brand strategist is going to be, whoever's going
45:05
Speaker 6: to you know, look into marketing. So pace yourself. But
45:08
Speaker 6: you need all of these people on your team because
45:11
Speaker 6: these are the people that's going to help you grow
45:13
Speaker 6: your business. Okay, so that is so important. So marketing
45:18
Speaker 6: that takes me into marketing. Marketing is so important. A
45:25
Speaker 6: lot of people will spend so much time worried about
45:28
Speaker 6: packaging and you know, all the pretty things and all
45:32
Speaker 6: the things that they're so passionate about, and they forget
45:35
Speaker 6: to tell people about their business. So what is going
45:40
Speaker 6: to like, how are you going to get the word out? What?
45:43
Speaker 6: How are you going to get more clients? How are
45:45
Speaker 6: you going to get people to purchase your item of
45:49
Speaker 6: you know, your service? How are you going to get
45:50
Speaker 6: people to invest in you? What is going to be
45:53
Speaker 6: your strategy? Most people are not thinking about it. What
45:56
Speaker 6: is the budget for it? Create a budget for it.
45:58
Speaker 6: I don't know if you guys seem as didy episode
46:00
Speaker 6: last now on the podcast, I love this ditty by
46:02
Speaker 6: the way, So I watched the whole episode. But she said, like,
46:06
Speaker 6: you have to put money into bunch, I mean into marketing.
46:09
Speaker 6: And if you look at I think Elon Mus said
46:11
Speaker 6: it too, like I will put my last money into marketing.
46:15
Speaker 6: People are not valuing marketing enough. Everyone's so consumed and
46:21
Speaker 6: so tied up into what they think is such a
46:24
Speaker 6: good product and a good service, and then they do
46:27
Speaker 6: all of these things on the back end, but nobody
46:29
Speaker 6: knows that it's available. Nobody knows what service or product
46:34
Speaker 6: you have, so no one can purchase it. What is
46:36
Speaker 6: going to be your plan of action to actually get
46:40
Speaker 6: that out there? Okay, so understanding funnels, right, So funnels
46:44
Speaker 6: can be from It doesn't matter if you're online. Well
46:47
Speaker 6: most people, I'm sure you guys are online, but if
46:50
Speaker 6: you aren't online, you need to be online. You have
46:53
Speaker 6: to have some sort of social presence to your business.
46:57
Speaker 6: Because I don't care if I walk in the store,
46:59
Speaker 6: I still go into the still go on Instagram pages.
47:02
Speaker 6: I'm like, oh, I wonder what their Instagram page looks like. Right,
47:04
Speaker 6: And I'm not the only person that does that. So
47:08
Speaker 6: you have to understand funnels, and a funnel is really
47:11
Speaker 6: nothing more than how are you going to get your
47:13
Speaker 6: client into your process and service them. How are you
47:18
Speaker 6: going to get them to buy whatever it is that
47:20
Speaker 6: you want them to buy? How are they going to
47:22
Speaker 6: start here? What's the next step, what's the next set,
47:24
Speaker 6: what's the next step until you get them to purchase
47:26
Speaker 6: from you? You have to think about those things. You
47:29
Speaker 6: can't just think because you're passionate and you think that
47:32
Speaker 6: it's a great product that it's going to sell, because
47:35
Speaker 6: that is not the case, okay. And also think about
47:38
Speaker 6: how are you going to retain clients. Everyone's always concerned
47:41
Speaker 6: about how they're going to key, I mean, get new clients,
47:44
Speaker 6: but in terms of retaining clients, people are not thinking
47:48
Speaker 6: about that or talking about how they're going to actually
47:51
Speaker 6: retain the clients that they actually have. Like, you already
47:55
Speaker 6: have the clients here, how are you going to service them?
47:58
Speaker 6: What are you going to do the follow up? Is it?
48:01
Speaker 6: You know, an offer?
48:02
Speaker 7: Is it?
48:03
Speaker 6: You know? Just finding different services for me? I keep
48:07
Speaker 6: my clients because I listen to what they're telling me
48:09
Speaker 6: that they need. So if my client's like, hey, I
48:12
Speaker 6: need this, I need this, I'm like, you know what,
48:14
Speaker 6: like sales taxes, I originally was not doing sales taxes,
48:18
Speaker 6: but now I'm bringing sales taxes, and so by the
48:22
Speaker 6: end of the end of March, my firm will be
48:26
Speaker 6: offering tax I mean sales tax services on a larger
48:30
Speaker 6: scale because clients need it, especially with so many people
48:34
Speaker 6: selling online. And so you have to keep you have
48:39
Speaker 6: to keep those things in mind, and you have to listen.
48:41
Speaker 6: You sell by listening, so you have to listen to
48:44
Speaker 6: your current clients. So the last thing is funding, right,
48:48
Speaker 6: So funding is something that you have to think about
48:51
Speaker 6: in the beginning. Right, you may try to understand like okay,
48:54
Speaker 6: well what exactly like how am I going to actually
48:58
Speaker 6: get the money to start my business? Or Okay, I
49:02
Speaker 6: have my business is here, but I need to hire
49:04
Speaker 6: more employees, I need a new software, I need to
49:07
Speaker 6: do these things, and I don't have the money to
49:10
Speaker 6: do it. And I always say that small business owners,
49:13
Speaker 6: we're always in a bad position because we need more
49:18
Speaker 6: money in order to grow, but a lot of times
49:21
Speaker 6: we don't have the money to grow. So you wind
49:23
Speaker 6: up in this vicious cycle where it's like, Okay, well,
49:25
Speaker 6: in order for me to grow, I need more money
49:27
Speaker 6: to grow, but I don't have more money to grow.
49:28
Speaker 6: So how what am I going to do, and so
49:30
Speaker 6: you have to be creative. You cannot just sit back again,
49:33
Speaker 6: as I said earlier, We're not going to sit back
49:37
Speaker 6: and just simply say, oh, this isn't like okay, I
49:43
Speaker 6: don't have enough money right now and that's it. No,
49:45
Speaker 6: you have to think about what am I going to
49:47
Speaker 6: do for more money. That changes your mindset and that
49:50
Speaker 6: makes you think about what are the steps and the
49:53
Speaker 6: things that you have to do in order to become
49:56
Speaker 6: more creative. So that way you can get the funding
49:59
Speaker 6: that you need in order to start your business. So
50:02
Speaker 6: let's talk about funding. You're starting out your business, I'm
50:05
Speaker 6: going to start out with tax free money. So what
50:10
Speaker 6: I call tax free money is when people go and
50:14
Speaker 6: they start, they may drive Uber or they may do
50:18
Speaker 6: door dash right to get some additional income. Pretty much
50:22
Speaker 6: any income that you are generating that's a ten ninety nine,
50:26
Speaker 6: not necessarily a W two. So you will receive that
50:29
Speaker 6: ten ninety nine at the end of the year. And
50:30
Speaker 6: why I call it tax free money is because at
50:33
Speaker 6: the same time, when you're driving that Uber and you're
50:36
Speaker 6: starting your business, you could take that money purchase laptops,
50:42
Speaker 6: purchase softwares, supplies, materials, and guess what it is. It's
50:47
Speaker 6: a tax write off. And that tax right off is
50:49
Speaker 6: going to go against the money that you were already making, right,
50:54
Speaker 6: And so now what happens is when you bring that
50:56
Speaker 6: money in, it's income. But now when you start buying
51:01
Speaker 6: things for the business, it is now an expense, right.
51:06
Speaker 6: And so what happens Let's say you brung in ten
51:08
Speaker 6: thousand dollars an income and then you had your laptop,
51:11
Speaker 6: and you had you know, you needed supplies and you
51:13
Speaker 6: needed all these things. That is ten thousand dollars worth
51:17
Speaker 6: of expenses that you may bring in that Now guess what,
51:20
Speaker 6: Now your net income is zero. So now that's technically
51:23
Speaker 6: tax free money. So now you have to think about
51:26
Speaker 6: because the reality is when you pay taxes, you're holding
51:30
Speaker 6: yourself back, right. So the more you overpaying taxes, the
51:32
Speaker 6: more you hold yourself back because you could be getting
51:34
Speaker 6: a lot further with that money that you're paying taxes with.
51:38
Speaker 6: So instead of just saying, okay, well I'm gonna take
51:42
Speaker 6: the money drive where I'm not gonna do anything. If
51:45
Speaker 6: you were getting that additional money in, instead of just
51:48
Speaker 6: getting the money in, you take that and you use
51:51
Speaker 6: it towards your startup costs right for your business. And
51:54
Speaker 6: so that's why I call that uh tax free money.
51:58
Speaker 6: Now credit cards, so well, thinking about credit cards, you
52:01
Speaker 6: have to understand that there's different tiers of credit cards.
52:06
Speaker 5: Right.
52:06
Speaker 6: So there may be your bank credit card, right, and
52:10
Speaker 6: they may require you if you have good personal credit,
52:14
Speaker 6: you may go there to open up a business bank account.
52:17
Speaker 6: Nine times out of ten, the next thing they're going
52:18
Speaker 6: to say to you is do you want a business
52:20
Speaker 6: credit card? If they don't, just ask them for it, right,
52:23
Speaker 6: every bank does it. So if they have business checking accounts,
52:28
Speaker 6: which ninety five percent of banks do. So, if they
52:33
Speaker 6: ask you, you know, do you want a business credit card?
52:36
Speaker 6: If your business is new and you are just establishing
52:39
Speaker 6: your business, what the bank will do is they will
52:42
Speaker 6: take your They would pretty much make you personally guarantee
52:47
Speaker 6: the credit card. And what that really means is that
52:51
Speaker 6: you will they will run your personal credit to see
52:54
Speaker 6: what your personal credit is, to see if they will allow,
52:58
Speaker 6: you know, give you some line of credit on your
53:01
Speaker 6: well not line of credit, but will give you, yeah,
53:05
Speaker 6: a lot of credit on your credit card. So that
53:09
Speaker 6: is so important, right, And sometimes most people say, oh,
53:13
Speaker 6: I don't want them to, you know, look at my
53:16
Speaker 6: personal credit at all. That's fine. However, if you want
53:20
Speaker 6: to get where you're going a little fast, so you
53:22
Speaker 6: may have to use yourself to leverage in order to
53:25
Speaker 6: get that credit card. Now, as you start establishing that
53:29
Speaker 6: business credit and you are now in a better position,
53:32
Speaker 6: Now what happens is that you are able to then
53:36
Speaker 6: get credit cards down the line where you don't need
53:38
Speaker 6: to run your personal credit because now your business is
53:41
Speaker 6: establishing credit. And most of the times when you get
53:44
Speaker 6: these credit cards, they have zero interest, you know, zero
53:49
Speaker 6: transfer balance, and so you can utilize that. So now
53:52
Speaker 6: I just open up a business. I have a new business,
53:55
Speaker 6: and I just opened up a credit card and they
53:57
Speaker 6: gave me like thirteen months for free. Oh that's free money,
54:02
Speaker 6: like not free money, but interest free money. Right, that's
54:04
Speaker 6: cheap money. So because it's cheap money, gu's what I'm
54:07
Speaker 6: going to do. I'm gonna take it. I'm gonna invest
54:09
Speaker 6: it in my business and my returns. Now I just
54:12
Speaker 6: have a bunch of money that I can play with
54:15
Speaker 6: that I don't have to pay any interest on until
54:19
Speaker 6: next year February. So you all have to think about
54:22
Speaker 6: these things as well, and you know, utilize yourself if
54:27
Speaker 6: you need to to get where you're going. Okay, so
54:30
Speaker 6: now loans and lines of credits. So now loans and
54:33
Speaker 6: lines of credit will require you to have like your business.
54:37
Speaker 6: And keep in mind you when you're going for loans
54:42
Speaker 6: lines of credits, you have to make sure that your
54:45
Speaker 6: business entity. And this is why I left funding for
54:47
Speaker 6: the end, because it is so important that your business
54:50
Speaker 6: is set up properly or you will not get funding.
54:53
Speaker 6: When it comes to advancing, you have to know that
54:57
Speaker 6: you are not going to get to that next level
55:00
Speaker 6: until you are structured correctly. So you're gonna need to
55:05
Speaker 6: make sure that your entity is set up correctly. As
55:08
Speaker 6: we talked about on the episode, you need to make
55:10
Speaker 6: sure that that address is not a home address. You
55:13
Speaker 6: need to make sure that it's a virtual address, something
55:15
Speaker 6: that they can search and see that you are a
55:18
Speaker 6: legitimate business. You want to make sure that you have
55:20
Speaker 6: a website, you have an office telephone number, and wherever
55:23
Speaker 6: you're getting these things at right it doesn't matter, but
55:26
Speaker 6: you have to make sure that they are put in place.
55:29
Speaker 6: You also need to make sure that you have income
55:33
Speaker 6: coming into your business bank account because so many people
55:36
Speaker 6: will go for loans or go for some sort of
55:39
Speaker 6: funding and they're like, oh my god, like I have
55:42
Speaker 6: all my income for my business going into my personal account.
55:45
Speaker 6: That is not going to work. They want to see
55:48
Speaker 6: money coming into your business, and if you have everything
55:52
Speaker 6: going into your personal that does not cut it. You
55:56
Speaker 6: have to make sure that is done. The next thing
55:58
Speaker 6: that they're always going to ask are your tax returns,
56:01
Speaker 6: So you need to make sure that you are filing
56:03
Speaker 6: your tax returns. Okay, So keep in mind those things
56:08
Speaker 6: are always going to be needed when you need when
56:10
Speaker 6: you need to go for a loan or aligne of credit.
56:13
Speaker 6: So with the loan and the line of credit, your
56:15
Speaker 6: business does need to be established. Every bank or lender
56:18
Speaker 6: has their own criteria. You know, some is a year,
56:21
Speaker 6: some is two years, but at minimum it has to
56:23
Speaker 6: be a year because they want to see those taxes.
56:26
Speaker 6: They want to see that you have money coming in.
56:28
Speaker 6: They want to see that you know, you reported it,
56:30
Speaker 6: and that's what they are going to go off of
56:33
Speaker 6: when they are deciding if they are going to approve
56:36
Speaker 6: you or not. Okay, So please keep in mind that
56:40
Speaker 6: you have to be positioned correctly so when you go
56:44
Speaker 6: they are going to look at your taxes, They're going
56:46
Speaker 6: to look at your bank statements, and that's what they
56:48
Speaker 6: are going to use to determine if you are eligible
56:53
Speaker 6: for loans. But there's also different tiers funding. I think
56:57
Speaker 6: we can kind to talk about all day, but I
57:01
Speaker 6: know we don't have all these all this time. But
57:05
Speaker 6: just so that you all know, and I'm driving this
57:08
Speaker 6: point home, eighty eight percent of millionaires are self made
57:12
Speaker 6: entrepreneurs in the United States. So there's a facade out
57:16
Speaker 6: there that millionaires are all millionaires they get their money
57:20
Speaker 6: passed down to them. That's not true. Eighty eight percent
57:23
Speaker 6: of millionaires are self made millionaires in the United States.
57:27
Speaker 6: That means that everybody had a dream, they worked hard,
57:30
Speaker 6: they believed in themselves, they seen their future self, and
57:33
Speaker 6: they showed up every single day for their future self
57:36
Speaker 6: because they wanted a different change in a different circumstance. Okay,
57:40
Speaker 6: So keep that in mind, and if eighty eight percent
57:43
Speaker 6: like there's a lot of millionaires, there's a lot of millionaires.
57:47
Speaker 6: Eighty eight percent of millionaires can do so by being
57:51
Speaker 6: self made, meaning they didn't have any help, they had
57:54
Speaker 6: an idea and they went after it. Then you can
57:56
Speaker 6: too you know, and so believe in yourself. I find
58:00
Speaker 6: that that's the biggest limitation. Five hundred thousand people put
58:04
Speaker 6: their jobs in twenty twenty one, and that number is
58:07
Speaker 6: expected to continue to increase. Okay, so please please, please
58:12
Speaker 6: please please keep that in mind as you all are thinking,
58:16
Speaker 6: you know, about this entrepreneur journey. There's so many people
58:21
Speaker 6: out here just doing it for themselves, showing up for themselves.
58:25
Speaker 6: You know, we all have an amazing platform of EYL
58:28
Speaker 6: just letting us know everything that's possible. I've learned about
58:31
Speaker 6: so many different industries, you know, just through watching the
58:35
Speaker 6: podcast and just being present that I'm like, oh my god,
58:37
Speaker 6: I didn't even know I can make money this way,
58:39
Speaker 6: or I didn't know or you know, really understand the
58:41
Speaker 6: logistics behind it. And so we have to make sure
58:44
Speaker 6: that it's a situation where we are, you know, really
58:48
Speaker 6: really taking advantage of these things. So that concludes my presentation.
58:59
Speaker 2: Elevation.
59:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm glad you brought up that that great resignation
59:05
Speaker 4: as they're calling it, right, because the unemployment rate is
59:09
Speaker 4: going lower every month, and so if the people are resigning,
59:12
Speaker 4: they're not found for unemployment, they must be creating their businesses.
59:15
Speaker 2: So I'm glad you brought that plant up.
59:17
Speaker 3: Yes. So now we're going to go into the part
59:19
Speaker 3: that's probably the most beneficial. As I said, you want
59:23
Speaker 3: to take.
59:23
Speaker 9: The that's now we're gonna go into the part that
59:29
Speaker 9: is pitt most beneficial for the EYO University classes is
59:33
Speaker 9: the question and answer part.
59:34
Speaker 3: Anytime we do a YouTube lib, whether it's market Mondays,
59:37
Speaker 3: whether it's over enrollment, whether it's even a podcast, people
59:40
Speaker 3: ask questions, which is weird because I mean, you would know,
59:43
Speaker 3: you would think that people know that the question is
59:45
Speaker 3: not going to get answered in a podcast because it's
59:47
Speaker 3: pre recorded. But people still, like in the common sessions,
59:51
Speaker 3: don't ask questions during the recording of like during the
59:54
Speaker 3: like premiere of the podcast. So this is an opportunity
59:57
Speaker 3: for people to actually ask questions and it becomes, you know,
1:00:01
Speaker 3: more of an intimate situation, kind of like a consultation. Really.
1:00:05
Speaker 3: So we're going to open it up and yeah, answer
1:00:08
Speaker 3: some questions that I'm sure a lot of people will have, like,
1:00:11
Speaker 3: you know, similar type of questions.
1:00:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it.
1:00:13
Speaker 4: We're gonna start with Patrack. We're coming to you. Mute
1:00:17
Speaker 4: yourself you've been unmuted. What's going on?
1:00:18
Speaker 2: Patrick? Good evening?

1:00:29
Speaker 6: I mean you really did.
1:00:30
Speaker 2: I thank you. Listen.
1:00:31
Speaker 10: My question is I'm thinking about moving from LLC to
1:00:36
Speaker 10: Escort real soon. But my question was about adding children
1:00:40
Speaker 10: to the payroll and the additional benefits. I have an
1:00:47
Speaker 10: inquisitive granddaughter. She loves doing whatever you know I'm doing
1:00:54
Speaker 10: to help me along, and I'm just wondering if that
1:00:56
Speaker 10: will help me because I think it's what like almost
1:00:58
Speaker 10: thirteen thousand dollars I can out over the.
1:01:01
Speaker 2: Year just trying to tax free. Is it what I'm understanding?
1:01:04
Speaker 6: Absolutely? So let's talk about this because this is always
1:01:07
Speaker 6: a hot topic on how much people can pay themselves
1:01:10
Speaker 6: and then what that process is. So in regards to
1:01:14
Speaker 6: paying yourselves, sorry, in regards to paying your granddaughter or pa.
1:01:20
Speaker 2: Earners, what's up?
1:01:21
Speaker 4: You ever walk into a small business and everything just
1:01:24
Speaker 4: works like the checkout is fast, the seats are digital,

Speaker 4: to you by P and C Bank. A lot of
1:02:32
Speaker 4: people think podcasts about work are boring, and sure, they
1:02:35
Speaker 4: definitely can be, but understanding a professionals routine shows us
1:02:39
Speaker 4: how they achieve their success little by little, day after day.
1:02:44
Speaker 4: It's like banking with P and C Bank. It might
1:02:47
Speaker 4: seem boring to save plan and make calculated decisions with
1:02:50
Speaker 4: your bank.
1:02:51
Speaker 2: But keeping your.

1:03:11
Speaker 11: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
1:03:14
Speaker 11: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
1:03:18
Speaker 11: accused of murdering a Texas. Man of Venezuelan charged with
1:03:23
Speaker 11: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
1:03:27
Speaker 11: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
1:03:30
Speaker 11: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States
1:03:34
Speaker 11: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
1:03:39
Speaker 11: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
1:03:42
Speaker 11: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
1:03:46
Speaker 11: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly
1:03:50
Speaker 11: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will
1:03:54
Speaker 11: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
1:03:57
Speaker 11: app and leave now, you could be a lie to
1:04:00
Speaker 11: return legally, do what's right.
1:04:03
Speaker 6: Leave now.
1:04:04
Speaker 11: Under President Trump, America's laws, border and families.
1:04:08
Speaker 2: Will be protected sponsored by the United States Department of
1:04:10
Speaker 2: Homeland Security.
1:04:11
Speaker 6: And you're any child, what needs to happen. You don't
1:04:15
Speaker 6: have to put them on payroll like officially, like through
1:04:18
Speaker 6: like an ADP, or you don't have to do that.
1:04:20
Speaker 6: What you can do is you simply can take the
1:04:23
Speaker 6: money from the business account to and send it to
1:04:27
Speaker 6: the child's personal account. But keep in mind that the
1:04:30
Speaker 6: child must the account has to be in the child's name, right,
1:04:34
Speaker 6: It can't be in your name or let's say your
1:04:37
Speaker 6: daughter's name or your son's name. It has to be
1:04:39
Speaker 6: in the child's name, Okay. And so what happens is
1:04:43
Speaker 6: you can say you can pay them, pay your granddaughter
1:04:45
Speaker 6: up to twelve five hundred dollars and send the money
1:04:48
Speaker 6: from the business account to the personal account. It then
1:04:52
Speaker 6: is a tax deduction at the end of the year.
1:04:56
Speaker 10: Awesome, awesome, thank you for the thank you for clarifying
1:04:59
Speaker 10: that need to be another thank you.
1:05:01
Speaker 3: And then you could take that money and invest and
1:05:03
Speaker 3: put it in a broken board.
1:05:07
Speaker 4: That's right, that's right. Valuable information right there, yeah, appreciate you.
1:05:11
Speaker 3: Pat. Then you could even go a step further and
1:05:15
Speaker 3: if the child is old enough, you could put you know,
1:05:17
Speaker 3: you could put the money in a raw ira up
1:05:19
Speaker 3: to six thousand dollars right business. Yeah, and that's tax
1:05:22
Speaker 3: free when they take it out later on down the line.
1:05:24
Speaker 3: So it's a lot of different ways that you can actually,
1:05:28
Speaker 3: you know, benefit from that situation.
1:05:30
Speaker 10: Awesome, Thank you so much. I am so glad I
1:05:33
Speaker 10: finally joined E y L. It's a plethora of information.
1:05:37
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Guys. I'll let someone else come on.
1:05:39
Speaker 3: So we appreciate you.
1:05:40
Speaker 2: Thank you.
1:05:41
Speaker 3: Welcome to the family.
1:05:42
Speaker 2: It's been a minute, I said through my little cold.
1:05:45
Speaker 2: There we go, Aaron, we're coming to you. Mute yourself,
1:05:48
Speaker 2: you've been unmuted. What's going on? Peace? Peace? How y'all doing?
1:05:56
Speaker 3: Man?
1:05:56
Speaker 2: Everybody? Good man? All right? Respect? Okay.
1:06:01
Speaker 12: So last year I started a LLC for real estate investment.
1:06:08
Speaker 12: I started with twenty thousand dollars startup funding and a
1:06:14
Speaker 12: friend of mine wanted to help my business establish credit
1:06:24
Speaker 12: by purchasing by purchasing a condo, so they invested one
1:06:34
Speaker 12: hundred and thirty thousand into my business savings account.
1:06:38
Speaker 2: It was a business. It's a business savings account.
1:06:41
Speaker 12: They invested one hundred and thirty thousand for me to
1:06:45
Speaker 12: make this purchase of a condo, and they wasn't really
1:06:52
Speaker 12: agreeing with the market based on our search, so they
1:06:58
Speaker 12: decided to make another move, so they I withdrew that
1:07:04
Speaker 12: third one hundred and thirty thousand dollars and gave it
1:07:07
Speaker 12: back to them. How how should I classify that on
1:07:13
Speaker 12: my taxes? You know, to avoid any issues.
1:07:19
Speaker 6: Well, you don't have to claim it on your taxes
1:07:21
Speaker 6: because when you receive the money, it's not considered income.
1:07:25
Speaker 6: It was more so considered like a loan. Right, if
1:07:28
Speaker 6: the money that was provided to you as a loan,
1:07:31
Speaker 6: and then the money that when you basically repaid the loan,
1:07:36
Speaker 6: you just repaid the loan. What I will say that
1:07:39
Speaker 6: you need to do is you, I don't know if
1:07:41
Speaker 6: you all already have a loan agreement in place, but
1:07:44
Speaker 6: if you, if you all you or anyone in here
1:07:46
Speaker 6: have a situation similar to that, you want to make
1:07:49
Speaker 6: sure that you establish like a loan agreement, right, So
1:07:52
Speaker 6: that way, and it just needs to say, you know
1:07:54
Speaker 6: who was the borrow who gave the money? What are
1:07:58
Speaker 6: the terms? What is the you know expected hey day,
1:08:00
Speaker 6: So that way you won't have a real true partnership
1:08:04
Speaker 6: agreement and then any ambiguity about if it was income
1:08:08
Speaker 6: or not.
1:08:09
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and I totally understand, Thank you.
1:08:13
Speaker 6: I appreciate it, no problem.
1:08:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, those all those agreements are extremely important.
1:08:18
Speaker 4: Operating agreement, partnership agreement, and obviously a loan agreement. As
1:08:21
Speaker 4: we can see right now, that's something that we don't
1:08:23
Speaker 4: even think about when we go into business, especially when
1:08:25
Speaker 4: we do it with like our partners, our friends. It's
1:08:27
Speaker 4: kind of like, yo, hey, you'll do this, I'll do this.
1:08:29
Speaker 4: But to have something that's formally put together, it's very
1:08:32
Speaker 4: important in a case like this.
1:08:34
Speaker 2: It could be almost detrimental if you don't.
1:08:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
1:08:38
Speaker 2: All right, let's go, let's go to uh Tariq. We're
1:08:42
Speaker 2: coming to you. I mute yourself, you've been unmuted. What's
1:08:44
Speaker 2: going on? Torek its loan on your piece? Everybody? How
1:08:47
Speaker 2: y'all feeling to night? Are you going on? Bless man?
1:08:51
Speaker 2: I'm blessed. I appreciating this business for everything you've done.
1:08:54
Speaker 13: I know you talk shouting choice from the beginning, appreciating
1:08:57
Speaker 13: the Jim Joad and gave my question. Actually, I was
1:09:00
Speaker 13: right up on Troy's point. Can you list your top
1:09:03
Speaker 13: ten things that you would list in an operating agreement?
1:09:06
Speaker 13: I don't want to know what which you would actually
1:09:08
Speaker 13: personated Jesus we can.
1:09:14
Speaker 3: And also, can you just explain what a operator I
1:09:16
Speaker 3: had this conversation with somebody today. Can you explain what
1:09:18
Speaker 3: an operating agreement actually is and why it is beneficial
1:09:23
Speaker 3: for starting your business or having a business?
1:09:25
Speaker 6: Absolutely? So, operating agreement pretty much is the rules of
1:09:29
Speaker 6: the business. You want to make sure that you establish
1:09:32
Speaker 6: what is going to be the tone and the rules
1:09:34
Speaker 6: of your business when you are first started. So the
1:09:36
Speaker 6: operating agreement will detail things out like when are you
1:09:40
Speaker 6: going to take profits? What is the ownership percentage? When
1:09:45
Speaker 6: is there lock up period? Are you going to bring
1:09:47
Speaker 6: some you know, let's say an investor decides to invest
1:09:49
Speaker 6: in your company and you wanted to have some sort
1:09:51
Speaker 6: of lock up period. You would include all of those
1:09:54
Speaker 6: things those terms inside of inside of the operating agreement.
1:09:59
Speaker 6: Are you all going to decide to dissolve the business
1:10:02
Speaker 6: after five years or ten years?
1:10:04
Speaker 5: Right?
1:10:05
Speaker 6: What role and of all of the what are the
1:10:08
Speaker 6: roles of all of the partners of the business, who's
1:10:12
Speaker 6: going to do what? What are the ownership percentages? Those
1:10:15
Speaker 6: are the type of things that goes in an operating
1:10:17
Speaker 6: agreement because you want to make sure that you are
1:10:20
Speaker 6: detailing it out. And it is very, very very important,
1:10:23
Speaker 6: especially when you have partnerships of multiple members, because you
1:10:27
Speaker 6: want to detail out one and make it clear who's
1:10:30
Speaker 6: doing what. Right, that is a big thing in partnerships.
1:10:35
Speaker 6: Most people will start it and have no idea who's
1:10:38
Speaker 6: doing what that business, So you have to think about, Okay,
1:10:41
Speaker 6: who's doing what, what is the profit sharing, who's liable
1:10:48
Speaker 6: for what? If anyone? Right? Those are the things that
1:10:51
Speaker 6: you would put in there. Right, is there lock up period?
1:10:54
Speaker 6: Are you going to dissolve the business? Who's responsible for what?
1:10:58
Speaker 2: Who?
1:10:58
Speaker 6: What's the ownership percentage?
1:11:00
Speaker 2: So?
1:11:00
Speaker 6: I thought I just almost gave you like ten so
1:11:02
Speaker 6: I know you did.
1:11:04
Speaker 2: You did you give me a sil list? I appreciate it.
1:11:07
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Okay, that's off the top of
1:11:09
Speaker 2: the ad man, it's late. I understand. I appreciate, really
1:11:14
Speaker 2: appreciate you, bro, sir.
1:11:19
Speaker 6: Ten, I'm like I got close.
1:11:22
Speaker 4: The ten business commandments. Rina, We're coming to you. I
1:11:25
Speaker 4: meet yourself you've been unmuted. What's going on?
1:11:29
Speaker 5: Hello evening, y'all.
1:11:31
Speaker 2: Hello, how you doing?
1:11:33
Speaker 14: I'm well, thank you.
1:11:34
Speaker 3: So.
1:11:34
Speaker 14: I am a mature earner and new to EU y L.
1:11:39
Speaker 14: I have recently started taking care of my mom and
1:11:43
Speaker 14: I also have my granddaughter. So I'm thinking that I
1:11:47
Speaker 14: could do something in terms of like maybe a boarding
1:11:51
Speaker 14: care something like that, something where I'm able to care
1:11:55
Speaker 14: for others. So my question is what I be better
1:12:03
Speaker 14: just starting off renting or leasing a home or buying
1:12:08
Speaker 14: the home to start your business? Put the business into
1:12:12
Speaker 14: what are your thoughts?
1:12:14
Speaker 6: So you would have to really consider I hate given
1:12:19
Speaker 6: the explanation of it depends, but it really does depend
1:12:22
Speaker 6: on like what those facts and circumstances are, you know,
1:12:26
Speaker 6: like what is the value of the home? Right? Are
1:12:29
Speaker 6: you able to purchase the home at a good you know,
1:12:32
Speaker 6: at a good rate. Does it make sense for you
1:12:35
Speaker 6: to maybe rent at you know, rent for a certain
1:12:37
Speaker 6: period of time and then you know, buy at a
1:12:40
Speaker 6: later time You have to kind of I wouldn't be
1:12:43
Speaker 6: able to make that decision, but what I can say
1:12:46
Speaker 6: is that while you are trying to make that decision,
1:12:48
Speaker 6: you need to think about and weigh in all the
1:12:51
Speaker 6: factors about you know, the financial you know, the financial
1:12:54
Speaker 6: responsibility that that is going to put on you, and
1:12:58
Speaker 6: another thing that you know. I'm so happy that you
1:13:00
Speaker 6: asked this because a lot of people don't think about
1:13:02
Speaker 6: let's say, startup costs, right, so now you have to
1:13:05
Speaker 6: think about all the costs that is going to cost
1:13:07
Speaker 6: you to actually start this up. The licenses, you know,
1:13:10
Speaker 6: the registration, especially if you're getting into a feel like that,
1:13:13
Speaker 6: you know, the professionals, the certifications, you know, the decor,
1:13:18
Speaker 6: the supplies, all of the things that you're going to need.
1:13:22
Speaker 6: And then on top of that, if you add a mortgage,
1:13:25
Speaker 6: will it be the same as paying rent? If so,
1:13:28
Speaker 6: then you know, land is you know happen. Land is better,
1:13:32
Speaker 6: you know. But if it's a situation that you know
1:13:35
Speaker 6: it's going to be is going to put you in
1:13:37
Speaker 6: a bad space and not allow you to be able
1:13:40
Speaker 6: to reinvest into your business, then you may want to
1:13:42
Speaker 6: be able to kind of take that step back, rent
1:13:45
Speaker 6: for a little bit and then purchase the home so
1:13:48
Speaker 6: that would be mine. Okay, I appreciate that. Thank you
1:13:52
Speaker 6: very much.
1:13:53
Speaker 14: Y'all have a good one.
1:13:54

1:14:25
Speaker 2: in you, I'm great, I'm great, Thank you for being My.
1:14:28
Speaker 6: Question is.
1:14:31
Speaker 15: I I work a regular job and I also had
1:14:36
Speaker 15: invested in a uh and I'm in a business that
1:14:41
Speaker 15: we eventually just sold.
1:14:43
Speaker 6: But I get a.
1:14:45
Speaker 3: Like a a.
1:14:47
Speaker 15: Worties payment every like every six months. But my question
1:14:53
Speaker 15: is when I turn my taxes in to the CPA
1:14:56
Speaker 15: to get done, do I get them?
1:15:01
Speaker 2: I don't know?
1:15:02
Speaker 15: How do how do I do that? And I'm trying
1:15:03
Speaker 15: to start a business, so I still give them my
1:15:05
Speaker 15: W two stuff and my investment business stuff, and I
1:15:11
Speaker 15: need to file taxes for my personal business. So when
1:15:14
Speaker 15: I do go get a loan for my own personal business,
1:15:18
Speaker 15: I want to show the lener that I have income.
1:15:21
Speaker 15: I mean, I have income, but not for my business
1:15:23
Speaker 15: that I haven't really produced income yet, if it makes sense.
1:15:27
Speaker 6: Okay, So let me just say this again to make
1:15:30
Speaker 6: sure I have it. You had a business, you sold it,
1:15:32
Speaker 6: and you're getting royalties. Yes, okay, then you also have
1:15:36
Speaker 6: another business, but you're not really operating that that other business.
1:15:41
Speaker 2: Correct.
1:15:42
Speaker 3: Okay, she's getting royalties from my job, though you're getting
1:15:44
Speaker 3: royalties from your job. Right.
1:15:46
Speaker 15: No, I'm getting royalties from the business business I was
1:15:50
Speaker 15: in a group with we sold it, but I'm getting
1:15:53
Speaker 15: royalties from that. But I'm that's still coming along for
1:15:57
Speaker 15: another a year or two. But I want to start
1:15:59
Speaker 15: my own own business, but I want to file. Understanding
1:16:03
Speaker 15: is I need to file taxes for the business that
1:16:05
Speaker 15: haven't started to get a loan or a business credit?
1:16:10
Speaker 6: Got you? Okay? So when you file your taxes, you
1:16:12
Speaker 6: have to report the roadtees. If there are any expenses
1:16:15
Speaker 6: that you that you incurred, then what will happen is
1:16:20
Speaker 6: that you will report those expenses. If you have your
1:16:23
Speaker 6: W two, you'll report that in terms of your business.
1:16:28
Speaker 6: So with your business, if you haven't made you have
1:16:31
Speaker 6: to report the income that you've made as well as
1:16:33
Speaker 6: report the expenses. So if you're in a position where
1:16:37
Speaker 6: you haven't made any money in that business, then you
1:16:40
Speaker 6: wouldn't report any money in that business. So that's how
1:16:43
Speaker 6: you would file that, So you would you would only
1:16:46
Speaker 6: let's say, if you whatever you made in the business
1:16:48
Speaker 6: and whatever you spent in the business, that's what you
1:16:50
Speaker 6: would report on the taxes.
1:16:53
Speaker 15: So so earlier when you was explaining like because I
1:16:56
Speaker 15: already have the LLC credit for the new business for myself,
1:17:00
Speaker 15: I'm not in a group business anymore, so I don't
1:17:02
Speaker 15: need to do a C CORP along with to see
1:17:04
Speaker 15: with the LLC that I credit for my own business
1:17:07
Speaker 15: because I hadded a business with a group of people
1:17:10
Speaker 15: where I get royalties from which I made over almost
1:17:13
Speaker 15: almost two hundred k.
1:17:14
Speaker 5: Almost two hundred k.
1:17:16
Speaker 6: Mm hmm. So they're paying your royalties out to your
1:17:19
Speaker 6: name or to your business. It's coming to me.
1:17:22
Speaker 15: So I get I do a schedule K one because
1:17:25
Speaker 15: I have I have a ten forty form that I
1:17:27
Speaker 15: have to do.
1:17:28
Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
1:17:29
Speaker 6: Okay, that's fine. So yeah, so you will report that,
1:17:33
Speaker 6: so you will report that, but you wouldn't report on
1:17:35
Speaker 6: the personal business that you're referring to. There's nothing for
1:17:38
Speaker 6: you to report if you didn't have any activity, but
1:17:41
Speaker 6: you still will include the K one. If you did
1:17:44
Speaker 6: receive any like separate royalties, then you would report that.
1:17:48
Speaker 6: And then you're also your W two and all of
1:17:50
Speaker 6: that if you do need to provide all of that
1:17:52
Speaker 6: to your CPA, and they will they should, you know,
1:17:55
Speaker 6: know what to do with it and report everything and
1:17:58
Speaker 6: filing correctly.
1:18:00
Speaker 15: Okay, because I was just nervous because when I do,
1:18:02
Speaker 15: like I'm getting like my little list of things to
1:18:04
Speaker 15: do for my new business, which is a totally different business,
1:18:08
Speaker 15: but I'm just trying to get my my my equipment
1:18:12
Speaker 15: that I need to start that business. And I just
1:18:14
Speaker 15: didn't know if I needed a file taxif O business
1:18:19
Speaker 15: I didn't create income on, and that's what it was
1:18:21
Speaker 15: making me a little nervous.
1:18:23
Speaker 6: No, no, no, So your requirement for filing if you're
1:18:25
Speaker 6: an LLC is if you've made four hundred dollars or more,
1:18:29
Speaker 6: you're required to file your taxes if you did not,
1:18:33
Speaker 6: and let's say you have startup expenses that you had
1:18:36
Speaker 6: to put out. You can file, but you're not required
1:18:39
Speaker 6: to file if you didn't make four hundred dollars or more.
1:18:42
Speaker 6: So just keep that in mind so you don't have
1:18:44
Speaker 6: to file those taxes, not for the business. Everything else
1:18:48
Speaker 6: you have to file.
1:18:49
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you so much, Hiray, thank you, have a
1:18:53
Speaker 2: good one and congrats on those royalties. Thank you so much.

Speaker 2: The ADP and how to go about that?
1:19:37
Speaker 6: So you do need to set up payroll. It is
1:19:40
Speaker 6: a requirement. They can revoke your escorts status if you
1:19:44
Speaker 6: are not in compliance with payroll, so you do need
1:19:49
Speaker 6: to do that. You. I do have an ADP REP
1:19:53
Speaker 6: that I can connect you with. She works with all
1:19:55

1:21:01
Speaker 3: give her a break to get some water if she
1:21:03
Speaker 3: needs it. But yes, this once again, this is a
1:21:08
Speaker 3: window into Eyo University. This is what we do every
1:21:12
Speaker 3: single week. We just covered this. The last Wednesday of
1:21:15
Speaker 3: the month is open enrollment. But I wanted to talk
1:21:17
Speaker 3: about women's business has going on for a minute because
1:21:20
Speaker 3: she actually just dropped her. I don't even want to
1:21:24
Speaker 3: call it a course. I really want to call it
1:21:26
Speaker 3: a business blueprint, And that's actually the name of it,
1:21:29
Speaker 3: business blueprint, where it's fifteen hours of information everything every
1:21:33
Speaker 3: single thing that you need to know about setting up
1:21:35
Speaker 3: a business, like we cover we can only cover so
1:21:37
Speaker 3: much in the hour and a half or two hours,
1:21:39
Speaker 3: but like detailed, like you know, bullet points on every
1:21:43
Speaker 3: single thing from payroll structure to retirement plan structure to
1:21:48
Speaker 3: you know, selling a business, to everything business credit, like
1:21:52
Speaker 3: all paled in to fifteen hours of video, and it's
1:21:57
Speaker 3: actually assessments after like you go through different things, different
1:22:00
Speaker 3: assessments for the modules. There's different guest instructures. I'm actually
1:22:04
Speaker 3: in there teaching about retirement planning and there's a work
1:22:08
Speaker 3: book attached to it as well, So it's a great
1:22:12
Speaker 3: body work. I actually went through it myself, so I
1:22:16
Speaker 3: appreciate that. I'll say she's she's modest, so I'm saying
1:22:20
Speaker 3: her praise for her. So I say that to say,
1:22:23
Speaker 3: if anybody's interested and really wants to take that business
1:22:27
Speaker 3: serious and really start a business, I highly, highly strongly
1:22:30
Speaker 3: suggest that you invest in that. Like I said, being
1:22:34
Speaker 3: a financial advisor, you know, you get a business plan
1:22:38
Speaker 3: and you're paying anywhere from two to five thousand dollars
1:22:40
Speaker 3: for a business plan, and that's something that is not
1:22:44
Speaker 3: even half of what she has actually put out. She's
1:22:48
Speaker 3: a business plan on steroids, actually, like detailing so many
1:22:51
Speaker 3: different things and so many different resources. Really, the encyclopedia,
1:22:54
Speaker 3: it's really like a college bachelor's degree in business, all
1:22:58
Speaker 3: wrapped in fifteen hours. So it's an amazing body of
1:23:02
Speaker 3: work that she put together. I'm not just saying that
1:23:04
Speaker 3: because she's here. I'm saying that because I actually went
1:23:07
Speaker 3: through it and actually got a chance to actually learn
1:23:11
Speaker 3: as well. That's one thing I always learned. So we're
1:23:13
Speaker 3: gonna pin the link and it's a thousand dollars. We
1:23:16
Speaker 3: have a thousand dollars off, so it's actually five hundred dollars.
1:23:19
Speaker 3: The whole the whole fifteen hours is five hundred dollars.
1:23:22
Speaker 3: Ian will be very disappointed.
1:23:24
Speaker 2: I can hear him now pounding the air.
1:23:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, he would be very disappointed with that, if he's
1:23:29
Speaker 3: still in the live But I'm gonna pin it. So yeah,
1:23:32
Speaker 3: Like I said, if you if you're interested in starting
1:23:35
Speaker 3: a business, or if you have a business and you
1:23:37
Speaker 3: want to take a visit to the next level, extremely
1:23:39
Speaker 3: extremely important, I highly suggest that you all invest in that.
1:23:43
Speaker 3: So yeah. The website is MS blueprint Eyo dot com.
1:23:47
Speaker 3: I penned it, and it's also in the description of
1:23:50
Speaker 3: this video and the description of like when we put
1:23:52
Speaker 3: it on Apple and Spotify as well. So yeah, I
1:23:55
Speaker 3: just wanted to do that before we get.
1:23:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that can I sing your praises
1:23:59
Speaker 2: a little bit more?
1:24:00
Speaker 6: Yeah, Yeah, go ahead.
1:24:01
Speaker 4: I mean obviously went through the course, went through all
1:24:03
Speaker 4: the assessments for the course what's your incredible But one
1:24:05
Speaker 4: of the dopest things was the workbook, right, And so
1:24:08
Speaker 4: I think you want to talk about the work work, I'll.
1:24:11
Speaker 6: Talk about the work Actually, can I pull up the
1:24:13
Speaker 6: work book? But on foll, can I just pull up
1:24:15
Speaker 6: the workbook?
1:24:15
Speaker 4: You I'm gonna pull it up because I think this
1:24:19
Speaker 4: is one of the dopest features and I don't think
1:24:21
Speaker 4: I've seen anybody do it like this, So yeah, pull
1:24:23
Speaker 4: it up.
1:24:24
Speaker 6: Yeah. So the idea behind the workbook, so the the course,
1:24:28
Speaker 6: the business blueprint. The reason why I even started the blueprint,
1:24:32
Speaker 6: I mean, why I even thought to do the blueprint
1:24:35
Speaker 6: is because here's a situation where I had a ton
1:24:41
Speaker 6: hold on one second, let me just pull this over here.
1:24:45
Speaker 6: I have twenty five hundred business clients and I realized
1:24:49
Speaker 6: that we were not operating or doing business correctly. So
1:24:53
Speaker 6: what I wanted to do was be able to be
1:24:55
Speaker 6: a resource for people because they just were not doing
1:25:00
Speaker 6: business correctly. And it's so important, and I ultimately feel
1:25:04
Speaker 6: that it's not a situation where people don't want to
1:25:06
Speaker 6: do better, is that they necessarily don't have the tool,
1:25:09
Speaker 6: they don't have the resources. So outside of like having marketing,
1:25:13
Speaker 6: having you know, in the course, we walked through everything,
1:25:16
Speaker 6: your ideas, having partners, contracts, rashads. They're talking about retirement,
1:25:21
Speaker 6: dissolving your business, which no one talks about. You know,
1:25:25
Speaker 6: I had King Ashley Inn and there she's talking about marketing.
1:25:28
Speaker 6: Someone from HR hading a call from ADP and they're
1:25:32
Speaker 6: just talking about payroll and hold on one second, and
1:25:37
Speaker 6: I thought of the idea to actually put together like
1:25:41
Speaker 6: a business plan. So this is the workbook. Hold on
1:25:44
Speaker 6: one second, that's just the cover page. Hold on where
1:25:49
Speaker 6: we were, Oh, here we go.
1:25:51
Speaker 5: Hold on.
1:25:54
Speaker 4: No, yeah, some people in the zoom are asking for
1:25:57
Speaker 4: the link. I just put it in the link for
1:25:58
Speaker 4: everybody to see. So everybody has asked us to that
1:26:01
Speaker 4: link and YouTube. It's already in there for y'all as well.
1:26:07
Speaker 6: Hold on, give me one second, because I think that
1:26:17
Speaker 6: the workbook is so good. It's like over one hundred pages,
1:26:21
Speaker 6: so we're really hard on this.
1:26:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, the workbook work definitely a good idea for sure.
1:26:27
Speaker 6: Because they got so the idea is that when you
1:26:30
Speaker 6: walk away, you have a you have a business plan.
1:26:34
Speaker 6: And as Rashad said, most people are paying thousands of
1:26:38
Speaker 6: dollars for a business plan and they don't even have
1:26:41
Speaker 6: they don't have anything. They don't have half the stuff
1:26:44
Speaker 6: that you're getting in here. So all right, finally got it,
1:27:07
Speaker 6: all right, and I got it to open.
1:27:12
Speaker 3: So let's get one more question than business You could
1:27:15
Speaker 3: ask you why you're doing that.
1:27:16
Speaker 6: We could just oh, I got it, got it, yep,
1:27:18
Speaker 6: I got it. So pretty much this is the workbook
1:27:22
Speaker 6: where we have my one percent team. So this is
1:27:24
Speaker 6: all the people that are featured in the course. So
1:27:26
Speaker 6: we have Rishad actually in Sabine the purpose lawyer. We
1:27:31
Speaker 6: have Chrisly she's in there talking about hr Rosina. She's
1:27:35
Speaker 6: talking about trademarks. Connie's talking about processes, Nicole's talking about payroll.
1:27:41
Speaker 6: We have Brandon from PGG talking about how to buy
1:27:45
Speaker 6: vehicles and assets in your business name. But we have
1:27:49
Speaker 6: my team here, my branding and marketing strategists and brand
1:27:52
Speaker 6: strategists and photographer. I had them hopping there to like
1:27:56
Speaker 6: just talk about from their perspective. We have Ellieto Money
1:28:00
Speaker 6: talking about funding, so she dropped a lot Breed talking about,
1:28:05
Speaker 6: you know, just buying assets in your name and business
1:28:07
Speaker 6: credit and personal credit. And Jalen in there talking about
1:28:11
Speaker 6: pr all right, so pretty much just to give you guys,
1:28:16
Speaker 6: like a peek into the work book, the idea behind
1:28:19
Speaker 6: the work book. And keep in mind you can actually
1:28:22
Speaker 6: right inside of the workbook, so when you download the workbook,
1:28:25
Speaker 6: it's you can literally do it on your phone. So
1:28:28
Speaker 6: the entire workbook is fillable, so you'll be able to
1:28:31
Speaker 6: like check boxes, write in all of these boxes so
1:28:33
Speaker 6: it's not something that you have to print out. So
1:28:36
Speaker 6: really going through your your SWAT, your pros and cons
1:28:40
Speaker 6: partnership agreement templates are in here, you know, just really
1:28:44
Speaker 6: going through all of these things, like breaking down all
1:28:47
Speaker 6: the things that I just went through. Here, here's all
1:28:50
Speaker 6: the links. Right if you want to apply for EI
1:28:52
Speaker 6: in that's there, right, So, ok, what are what's the thing?
1:28:59
Speaker 6: So all of those things here because I don'et lost
1:29:03
Speaker 6: the page, but yeah, all of those things are pretty
1:29:05
Speaker 6: much in the world book.
1:29:09
Speaker 3: And that's an addition.
1:29:10
Speaker 6: That's an addition, that's an addition to the course, right,
1:29:12
Speaker 6: because I felt I don't I don't want you guys
1:29:15
Speaker 6: with your opening paper. I needed to guide you. I
1:29:18
Speaker 6: needed to make sure that you know I got it,
1:29:20
Speaker 6: guided you all throughout all of those lessons because I
1:29:24
Speaker 6: really think that it's so it's so good to have
1:29:27
Speaker 6: like a big thing. I say that twenty twenty two
1:29:29
Speaker 6: is the year of the bosses. Some years is real estate.
1:29:32
Speaker 6: Twenty twenty two is for bosses. We have too many
1:29:35
Speaker 6: people quitting their job. We have too many people, you know,
1:29:38
Speaker 6: just kind of just want to show up for themselves.
1:29:40
Speaker 6: So that's my theory.
1:29:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, the bosses.
1:29:44
Speaker 3: I love it, gentlemen.
1:29:46
Speaker 4: And from an educator to an educator, man, I appreciate that.
1:29:49
Speaker 17: Right.
1:29:50
Speaker 2: And at the end of it, you got your whole
1:29:51
Speaker 2: business plan. Let's say, are get a few more questions
1:29:54
Speaker 2: before we saw we come to you and meet yourself.
1:29:56
Speaker 2: You've been unmuted at what's going on? How you doing?
1:30:02
Speaker 5: I'm good? Okay?
1:30:04
Speaker 8: Can you explain the process to switch over from LLC
1:30:08
Speaker 8: to escorre.
1:30:10
Speaker 6: Hi toush on tray baby, jeuse me client? So the
1:30:19
Speaker 6: process to switch over from LLC to escort, the process
1:30:24
Speaker 6: has to be done on the federal side and the
1:30:26
Speaker 6: state side, depending on which state you are in. So
1:30:29
Speaker 6: there's only a few states that require you to also
1:30:32
Speaker 6: do the election on the state side. But keep in mind, guys,
1:30:37
Speaker 6: and ESCORP is not an entity type. It is a
1:30:39
Speaker 6: tax election. So what that means is that you have
1:30:42
Speaker 6: to complete tax You have to complete Form twenty five
1:30:45
Speaker 6: fifty three and you have to submit it to the IRS.
1:30:49
Speaker 6: Now keep in mind, once you submit that form to
1:30:52
Speaker 6: the IRS, they will require you I mean they will
1:30:56
Speaker 6: require about four months in order to get that form
1:30:59
Speaker 6: back to you just to say, hey, I acknowledge that
1:31:02
Speaker 6: you are an esport. Okay, so you have to keep
1:31:05
Speaker 6: that in mind. There are certain states I think right
1:31:08
Speaker 6: now it's just New York, I believe, Ohio, New Jersey,
1:31:15
Speaker 6: in one other state I can't remember the other state
1:31:17
Speaker 6: that's still that requires you to do it and basically
1:31:20
Speaker 6: complete the form on the state side. But most states
1:31:25
Speaker 6: don't require you to also take that additional step on
1:31:28
Speaker 6: the state side. They pretty much just follow suit with
1:31:31
Speaker 6: whatever you elect on the federal side. In regards to
1:31:34
Speaker 6: the state level, like where you actually formed your entity.
1:31:37
Speaker 6: You don't need to notify them or let them know like, hey,
1:31:40
Speaker 6: I'm now an esport. Yes, twenty five fifty three, Thank you,
1:31:47
Speaker 6: You're welcome.
1:31:50
Speaker 3: Get a few more.
1:31:51
Speaker 2: Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it.
1:31:54
Speaker 4: Let's go to uh Anna. We're coming to you, Anna.
1:31:59
Speaker 4: I'm mute yourself. I'm it was going on.
1:32:05
Speaker 7: Hi there, good evening, can you hear me?
1:32:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, right when imute yourself. Y'all on it. Love it.
1:32:15
Speaker 7: Hi, rashod Hi, Troy, nice to see you this evening, Hello,
1:32:19
Speaker 7: this business. I enjoy your presentation. My question is this
1:32:24
Speaker 7: and this goes to funding. Can we talk about or
1:32:30
Speaker 7: can you express your views on shelf corporations because a
1:32:35
Speaker 7: lot of credit agencies want you to have some seasoning,
1:32:38
Speaker 7: especially if you're new, and so I know that shelf
1:32:42
Speaker 7: corporations are a way to try to put your business
1:32:47
Speaker 7: in the position of of uh longevity, shown that you've
1:32:52
Speaker 7: been around a little while. So can you share it
1:32:55
Speaker 7: relates to.
1:32:56
Speaker 6: Funding absolutely so with shell for shelf corporations. For those
1:33:02
Speaker 6: of you who aren't familiar, that just means that someone
1:33:05
Speaker 6: purchased a corporation or an LLC and they said, you
1:33:09
Speaker 6: know what, we are going to hold on to this
1:33:13
Speaker 6: LLC for a certain amount of years and then you
1:33:15
Speaker 6: can then buy into this business that has already been established.
1:33:20
Speaker 6: And that's why I always tell people when they ask
1:33:22
Speaker 6: me like when should I start an LLC, I'm like,
1:33:24
Speaker 6: today asap, don't wait. And the reason why I say
1:33:27
Speaker 6: that is because when you go to lenders, the first
1:33:31
Speaker 6: thing that they're going to ask you is when did
1:33:33
Speaker 6: you form your business? When was your business established? Longevity matters.
1:33:38
Speaker 6: So if you are just getting into you know funding,
1:33:42
Speaker 6: I mean, you're just getting into business and you are
1:33:45
Speaker 6: in a position where you want to go for funding,
1:33:48
Speaker 6: but of course you're just getting into business, so you
1:33:50
Speaker 6: don't have the time. I think that shelf corporations are great.
1:33:53
Speaker 6: You just want to make sure that they are in compliance.
1:33:56
Speaker 6: I have had a person acquire a entity and they
1:34:01
Speaker 6: had a ton of unfouled tax returns, a ton of
1:34:05
Speaker 6: annual foul tax returns that were not filed. So you
1:34:08
Speaker 6: just want to make sure that you are you're not
1:34:10
Speaker 6: getting yourself into anything. You're welcome, and.
1:34:19
Speaker 2: It was right now her notes. I appreciate you and
1:34:21
Speaker 2: thank you.
1:34:22
Speaker 3: Let's get a few more before we bat.
1:34:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. Let's see what
1:34:26
Speaker 2: we got.
1:34:27
Speaker 4: Uh, let's go to Kendra hoole Kendrew, We're coming to you.
1:34:31
Speaker 2: I'm mute yourself. You've been unmuted. What's going on?
1:34:37
Speaker 5: Hello?
1:34:38
Speaker 8: I I have a couple of questions.
1:34:41
Speaker 5: Well, one, my husband and I already have a corporation
1:34:46
Speaker 5: which is a private investigation company, but we also have
1:34:51
Speaker 5: nine rental properties, and one of those rental properties we
1:34:55
Speaker 5: want to do an Airbnb. All the rental properties are
1:35:00
Speaker 5: in our name, and I am wanting to know is
1:35:05
Speaker 5: it best for us to establish an allc and to
1:35:10
Speaker 5: run the business or should we do another corporation in
1:35:16
Speaker 5: escort for the Airbnb and the ransom properties.
1:35:21
Speaker 6: No, so you should do an LLC. And the reason
1:35:23
Speaker 6: why you should not and this will take extreme strategy
1:35:27
Speaker 6: if it would make sense to ever put an real
1:35:30
Speaker 6: estate in a corporation. But for the most part, it
1:35:33
Speaker 6: almost does not make sense to put real estate in
1:35:37
Speaker 6: a corporation only because of the tax rates on the
1:35:41
Speaker 6: sales when it is going to be time to sell
1:35:45
Speaker 6: or transfer. It just is a nightmare in corporation. So
1:35:49
Speaker 6: I wouldn't suggest that you do it in a corporation,
1:35:51
Speaker 6: but if you do it inside of a sorry, if
1:35:56
Speaker 6: you do it inside of an LLC, that will be
1:35:59
Speaker 6: the solution that you need. Now with the Airbnb, you
1:36:04
Speaker 6: now have to consider you know, how much income you're
1:36:06
Speaker 6: going to have coming in and what that profit looks like.
1:36:09
Speaker 6: If it's one property, you you know you should be
1:36:11
Speaker 6: okay in a in an LLC. But as you let's say,
1:36:16
Speaker 6: if you require more Airbnbs, you may want to consider
1:36:21
Speaker 6: an escort because now you are moving into a transactional
1:36:25
Speaker 6: business and you don't want to get caught up in
1:36:27
Speaker 6: that self employment tax.
1:36:29
Speaker 8: Okay, So with the Airbnb, we would need maybe a
1:36:34
Speaker 8: couple of employees because the business is like, I can't
1:36:38
Speaker 8: run it because I have a regular job as well.
1:36:42
Speaker 8: So to pay them, we can pay them through the
1:36:47
Speaker 8: LLC and it's okay or we how does that work?
1:36:52
Speaker 6: Absolutely? So when you say pay them, are you referring
1:36:56
Speaker 6: to paying them? Like, are you saying do they need
1:36:59
Speaker 6: to like how to pay them like a payroll?
1:37:01
Speaker 5: Right, like a payroll or something.
1:37:03
Speaker 6: Yeah, So if you do have them down as employees,
1:37:06
Speaker 6: you do want to get a payroll company. One thing
1:37:10
Speaker 6: that you all have to understand is that when you
1:37:14
Speaker 6: decide to start bringing on employees, you want to make
1:37:16
Speaker 6: sure that you're thinking about your payroll. And I just
1:37:20
Speaker 6: want to talk about this a little bit because it's
1:37:22
Speaker 6: so important when you decide to get employees or even
1:37:26
Speaker 6: pay yourself on payroll. Keep in mind you have federal
1:37:30
Speaker 6: deposits that have to be made to the federal You
1:37:32
Speaker 6: have state deposits that have to be made to the
1:37:34
Speaker 6: state every single payroll, right, so if it's bi weekly,
1:37:38
Speaker 6: those are bi weekly deposits. You also have to file
1:37:42
Speaker 6: quarterly taxes, right quarterly your quarterly payroll taxes. Those taxes
1:37:49
Speaker 6: also need to be remitted to Social Security and Medicare,
1:37:53
Speaker 6: and you also have to keep in mind that there's
1:37:55
Speaker 6: an annual return that has to be filed. That's why
1:37:58
Speaker 6: I use ADP. They kind of take care of everything.
1:38:00
Speaker 6: Is something that you even need to think about. The
1:38:03
Speaker 6: everything is so seamless. But I just wanted, you know,
1:38:06
Speaker 6: I want to be very transparent because I've seen so
1:38:08
Speaker 6: many people. I've seen people lose their businesses because of taxes.
1:38:12
Speaker 6: So I'm always so adamant about you know, when you
1:38:15
Speaker 6: do it, just do it right. So yes, if you
1:38:17
Speaker 6: are going to hire people because you cannot you know,
1:38:21
Speaker 6: be active in the business, that's totally fine. Just enroll
1:38:24
Speaker 6: in a payroll provider, get them set up as W
1:38:26
Speaker 6: two's and whatever that pay frequency is, if that's every
1:38:29
Speaker 6: week or if that is you know, bi weekly, you
1:38:33
Speaker 6: can set that up. You can always change it to
1:38:35
Speaker 6: make sure that they're being paid what they need to
1:38:37
Speaker 6: be paid. Okay, Okay, thank.
1:38:41
Speaker 2: You, Kendra, You're welcome.
1:38:45
Speaker 18: More.
1:38:45
Speaker 2: Let's do it. Let's do let's go to uh, Brian,
1:38:48
Speaker 2: We're coming to you. Brian. I mute yourself. You've been
1:38:50
Speaker 2: unmuted that what's going on? You perfectly Uh, this is surreal.
1:38:58
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you got listen ui every day.
1:39:00
Speaker 6: I'm a new earner.
1:39:02
Speaker 19: Really appreciate everything you guys do.
1:39:04
Speaker 2: This is amazing. I really do appreciate it. Man, I
1:39:06
Speaker 2: got weazy up tonight.
1:39:07
Speaker 3: You see them weezy baby the for phenomenals for front though,
1:39:17
Speaker 3: I have.
1:39:18
Speaker 2: A two part question. If that's all right, no guidelines
1:39:22
Speaker 2: to night, man, let's do it all right?
1:39:24
Speaker 5: Cool?
1:39:24
Speaker 19: So I have an investment group that I run. It's
1:39:26
Speaker 19: nineteen of us in there. We put in two thousand
1:39:29
Speaker 19: dollars a year total. So I was trying to figure
1:39:31
Speaker 19: out what's the best type of entity that we can
1:39:34
Speaker 19: put together for that type of group where we're not
1:39:38
Speaker 19: paying too much in taxes because I know with the
1:39:40
Speaker 19: LLC with the partnerships, we got to pay per member
1:39:44
Speaker 19: like per partner in there when it comes to following
1:39:45
Speaker 19: your taxes, I believe. And then since it's not really
1:39:49
Speaker 19: a business, we're just a group, we're not really producing
1:39:52
Speaker 19: active income right now. So I was trying to see
1:39:54
Speaker 19: what you think makes the most sense for us to
1:39:56
Speaker 19: protect ourselves absolutely.
1:39:58
Speaker 6: So I just want to clarify in terms of the
1:40:02
Speaker 6: filing the per member. The only time you there's any
1:40:06
Speaker 6: fees per member is if you don't file your taxes.
1:40:09
Speaker 6: So I'm happy that you mentioned that because anyone that
1:40:13
Speaker 6: is an sport or partnership or two plus member LLC
1:40:17
Speaker 6: keep in mind that your filing date is March fifteen. Okay,
1:40:20
Speaker 6: so your filing date is March fifteen, and you want
1:40:23
Speaker 6: to make sure that you spail your taxes by March
1:40:27
Speaker 6: fifteenth or put in an extension because sorry, because the
1:40:32
Speaker 6: penalty for non filing is two hundred and five dollars
1:40:35
Speaker 6: per month per member. So in your case, if you
1:40:37
Speaker 6: have an investment group and it's ten people, that's two
1:40:41
Speaker 6: hundred and five dollars times ten times twelve. Right, if
1:40:45
Speaker 6: you do not file your taxes. In terms of the
1:40:48
Speaker 6: entity type that I think is best. When you say
1:40:51
Speaker 6: an investment group, what are you guys investing in? Are
1:40:53
Speaker 6: you guys pulling money together? What exactly does the investment
1:40:57
Speaker 6: group do?
1:40:59
Speaker 19: So currently we've been putting in the two thousand dollars.
1:41:01
Speaker 19: We first we did long term stocks, then after that
1:41:04
Speaker 19: we invested in crypto and trying to do some swing
1:41:08
Speaker 19: trading and I personally do d trading for the group.
1:41:11
Speaker 19: In the future, we will be starting businesses. This year,
1:41:14
Speaker 19: We're looking to open up airbnb business, Touro, and a
1:41:18
Speaker 19: vendor machine. So that was my second part question of
1:41:20
Speaker 19: is we should be getting separate entities for each business
1:41:24
Speaker 19: that we open up or should we just keep it
1:41:25
Speaker 19: all under the one group?
1:41:27
Speaker 6: Gotcha? So the first part, you should be an LLC
1:41:31
Speaker 6: because it is so many of you. You want to
1:41:33
Speaker 6: and you guys are investing in different things. You want
1:41:37
Speaker 6: to make sure that I know you mentioned that you're
1:41:39
Speaker 6: doing the trading, so I'm hoping that the Brokeridge account
1:41:41
Speaker 6: is in the business name. So that way when the
1:41:44
Speaker 6: money comes in and you guys have to distribute all
1:41:47
Speaker 6: of the profits that each of you will receive a
1:41:50
Speaker 6: K one and then you would only you only report
1:41:54
Speaker 6: your respective share on your taxes, right, and so the
1:41:59
Speaker 6: LLC would be the route for that and to your
1:42:02
Speaker 6: the second part of your question, absolutely, you should definitely
1:42:06
Speaker 6: put all of those additional businesses inside of you know,
1:42:10
Speaker 6: different entities. One because I've had various investment group clients
1:42:17
Speaker 6: and what's going to happen. I don't want say it's
1:42:19
Speaker 6: going to happen, but what may happen is that somebody
1:42:22
Speaker 6: may say, you know, I don't want to invest into Roo. No,
1:42:25
Speaker 6: I'm fine over here with stocks and Airbnb, right, and
1:42:28
Speaker 6: then you don't want to have to try to figure out, okay,
1:42:30
Speaker 6: well what now happens that is supposed to be ten
1:42:33
Speaker 6: of us and now this other person doesn't want this now.
1:42:36
Speaker 6: It just makes it very messy. And then another thing
1:42:39
Speaker 6: that you have to consider is the liability if something happens,
1:42:43
Speaker 6: you know, in one of your other businesses. You don't
1:42:46
Speaker 6: want it to be a situation where they can come
1:42:48
Speaker 6: and take all of the like all of your assets,
1:42:51
Speaker 6: your stocks, your you know, whatever other investment or other
1:42:55
Speaker 6: businesses you start make fair sense.
1:42:58
Speaker 3: Thank you so much, Thank you.
1:43:00
Speaker 2: Please appreciate you.
1:43:01
Speaker 8: Bro.
1:43:02
Speaker 3: How are you feeling this business like? You want to
1:43:04
Speaker 3: go a little longer?
1:43:05
Speaker 4: Listen, I'm here, got a lot of hands, there's a
1:43:10
Speaker 4: lot of hands here. Let's keep rolling, all right, Lauren,
1:43:18
Speaker 4: we're coming to you and need yourself.
1:43:20
Speaker 2: You've been unmuted. Hello, what's going on? Hey? What's going on?
1:43:27
Speaker 2: Thank you? Thank you for letting me in. Man, great presentation,
1:43:30
Speaker 2: miss business.
1:43:31
Speaker 6: Appreciate it all right?
1:43:34
Speaker 17: Yeah, the S Corporation is it's interesting to me because
1:43:40
Speaker 17: it sounds like I've been paying that fifteen and not
1:43:43
Speaker 17: knowing it with the LLC.
1:43:45
Speaker 5: And but I don't.
1:43:48
Speaker 17: Recall clearly, but I remember somebody telling me they couldn't
1:43:52
Speaker 17: get the PPP long because of another corporate. I think
1:43:56
Speaker 17: they said that es corporate is what they had. And
1:44:01
Speaker 17: is that is that true that you couldn't get you know, say,
1:44:03
Speaker 17: if it come up again, you know, I want to
1:44:05
Speaker 17: be prepared for all of that stuff.
1:44:11
Speaker 2: Asking for front.
1:44:13
Speaker 6: Absolutely, so that is false. That is false. Your entity
1:44:20
Speaker 6: type had has nothing to do with you being eligible
1:44:25
Speaker 6: for a loan. What may have happened in that person's case,
1:44:30
Speaker 6: but I feel like they they revamped p PP so
1:44:33
Speaker 6: many times. If the person did have an escort esport.
1:44:37
Speaker 6: One of the requirements for an escort is that you
1:44:39
Speaker 6: pay yourself salary. So because you need to pay yourself salary,
1:44:44
Speaker 6: it was a requirement for you to have had kaid
1:44:47
Speaker 6: some sort of payroll that the person was in LLC,
1:44:50
Speaker 6: then they would not have needed to pay themselves technically
1:44:53
Speaker 6: a payroll, because when you are an LLC, your profit
1:44:56
Speaker 6: is considered your payroll. But they were not denied because
1:45:01
Speaker 6: they were an escort. They just were not in compliance,
1:45:04
Speaker 6: which I'm happy that you said this, because this is
1:45:07
Speaker 6: what I mean. And I became very passionate about business
1:45:10
Speaker 6: owners being in compliance during the whole pandemic because me
1:45:13
Speaker 6: being the accounting accountant, I've seen so much, you know,
1:45:17
Speaker 6: just trying to help people qualify for all the eidls
1:45:20
Speaker 6: and PPPs. It was a situation where people just were
1:45:24
Speaker 6: not positioned and they were not set up correctly, so
1:45:28
Speaker 6: therefore they were not able to take advantage of certain things,
1:45:31
Speaker 6: which I e. Again is going to hold us back
1:45:35
Speaker 6: while other people are able to take advantage of these things.
1:45:39
Speaker 6: So that's what that whole thing is.
1:45:43
Speaker 2: Okay, great, thank you, thank you, thank you.
1:45:45
Speaker 5: Well.
1:45:46
Speaker 17: Now one more question about the es CORP. Now, So
1:45:52
Speaker 17: I would have to put myself on payroll if I,
1:45:56
Speaker 17: you know, like how you were talking about earlier, I
1:46:00
Speaker 17: would pay the fifteen percent on what the business profity.
1:46:05
Speaker 6: Right, No, the fifteen percent is going to only be
1:46:08
Speaker 6: on whatever you decide your salary is going to be.
1:46:11
Speaker 6: So if you, let's say, made one hundred thousand, but
1:46:13
Speaker 6: you say your salary is going to be thirty thousand,
1:46:15
Speaker 6: you would only be paying that fifteen point three percent
1:46:18
Speaker 6: on the thirty thousand.
1:46:20
Speaker 17: Okay, Okay, great, okay for that, clear up everything, thanks Milliam.
1:46:25
Speaker 2: All right, all right, likewise, man give it the good work, y'all.
1:46:29
Speaker 4: All right man, fifteen three percent, let's do it all right,
1:46:35
Speaker 4: Naikiza were coming to you?
1:46:36
Speaker 2: What's going on? I mute yourself. You've been muted.
1:46:40
Speaker 5: Good evening, good evening, good night everyone.
1:46:44
Speaker 2: How you doing?
1:46:45
Speaker 5: How you doing?
1:46:46
Speaker 20: I would like to say thank y'all for all the
1:46:48
Speaker 20: information you're giving miss business.
1:46:50
Speaker 6: You're killing it tonight. The problem. Thank you.
1:46:54
Speaker 20: I recently got anc I want to get a mixed
1:46:59
Speaker 20: dwell property, which will we have apartments on top and
1:47:04
Speaker 20: I want to get a cafe on the bottom. So
1:47:06
Speaker 20: when I open it up the LLC, I open up
1:47:09
Speaker 20: as a real estate because I don't have the cafe
1:47:12
Speaker 20: yet since I don't.
1:47:13
Speaker 2: Have the build it.
1:47:14
Speaker 20: So you just said, don't do the es Corp for
1:47:18
Speaker 20: the real estate part. Should I do the es Corp
1:47:20
Speaker 20: for the cafe once I get it?
1:47:23
Speaker 6: Yes? And those should be in two separate entities anyway, right,
1:47:28
Speaker 6: because you have to think about your cafe is transactional,
1:47:32
Speaker 6: so yes, that should be an escort. I'm considering that
1:47:35
Speaker 6: you know your profits are projected to be above that
1:47:38
Speaker 6: thirty five to forty thousand dollars mark. Now, if you
1:47:42
Speaker 6: have real estate, you have tenants, that's risky. They can slip,
1:47:45
Speaker 6: they can fall. So you may want to consider if
1:47:48
Speaker 6: that building is going to be in your name, maybe renting,
1:47:52
Speaker 6: maybe renting out the maybe creating a lease between you
1:47:57
Speaker 6: and the LLC and having your tenants rent from the LLC. Right,
1:48:01
Speaker 6: because now what that's doing is that's going to create
1:48:04
Speaker 6: a separation between your assets and your tenants if in
1:48:07
Speaker 6: the event something were to happen.
1:48:09
Speaker 20: Okay, I was going to ask, should I created another
1:48:12
Speaker 20: business to collect the rent? So the one business was
1:48:16
Speaker 20: to buy the property? And like like I guess somebody
1:48:20
Speaker 20: was saying, like a property management business to collect the rent,
1:48:24
Speaker 20: so all of that would be separate.
1:48:29
Speaker 6: I don't think that the first, your first property that
1:48:32
Speaker 6: structured in this way needs that, only because now you're
1:48:37
Speaker 6: still not protecting yourself against liability. It doesn't matter if
1:48:40
Speaker 6: a property management company, you know, it's like if a
1:48:43
Speaker 6: third party collected rent for you, you the least is
1:48:46
Speaker 6: still with you know, you and the tenant. So I
1:48:50
Speaker 6: think the better way is to as you know what
1:48:53
Speaker 6: I just explained, and you can have them pay the
1:48:55
Speaker 6: LLC and never pay us because they're rented from the LLC.
1:48:58
Speaker 2: Not you.
1:48:59
Speaker 6: Okay, thank you so much, and keep no problem.
1:49:02
Speaker 2: Y'all are doing is needed.
1:49:04
Speaker 20: It's very needed.
1:49:05
Speaker 6: Thank you, Thank you.
1:49:09
Speaker 2: We're gonna do one more.
1:49:10
Speaker 6: One more.
1:49:11
Speaker 2: Okay, that's it. That's it. We're just gonna do one more.
1:49:14
Speaker 2: Let's let's go to case Sue. We're coming to you.
1:49:16
Speaker 2: I mute yourself. You've been unmuted. What's going on?
1:49:24
Speaker 3: Oh?
1:49:24
Speaker 2: Oh word, today I've.
1:49:26
Speaker 6: Seen some people asking, am I taking clients for tax season?
1:49:30
Speaker 6: I am you. Guys can sign up, schedule your on boarding.
1:49:34
Speaker 6: Tax season has begun arrest already starting with me.
1:49:40
Speaker 2: So it's over all. We're gonna go to Jerry. Jerry.
1:49:45
Speaker 2: It's a middle part too. Jerry coming to you. I
1:49:47
Speaker 2: mute yourself. You've been unmuted. What's the deal? Hike any guys, Jeremy.
1:49:51
Speaker 6: Perfect, Hi Jerry?
1:49:53
Speaker 2: Well is this Jerry case Sue? This is Jerry? All right, Jerry?
1:49:57
Speaker 2: What's the deal?
1:49:57
Speaker 3: What's good?
1:49:59
Speaker 18: Thanks guys taking me up? So my question is there.
1:50:02
Speaker 18: So I've been a member for about a few months now.
1:50:05
Speaker 18: I'm Canadian. I'm trying to can so shout out to
1:50:07
Speaker 18: all their adians there. One of the things about starting
1:50:11
Speaker 18: the business is that it's always challenging to get information from,
1:50:15
Speaker 18: you know, people that you're trying to you know, mimic
1:50:18
Speaker 18: their business. So I guess my question is, how do
1:50:21
Speaker 18: you strategize, you know, getting information on you know from
1:50:25
Speaker 18: Like let's say I'm a nurse ber for example. So
1:50:27
Speaker 18: if I want to start like a nurse's staffing agency,
1:50:30
Speaker 18: but then I know of another company that's doing it,
1:50:33
Speaker 18: but I know they're not probably not going to share information,
1:50:35
Speaker 18: how do you build those partnerships or strategies in terms
1:50:39
Speaker 18: of getting information on how to you know, get up
1:50:42
Speaker 18: and running in terms of starting a business.
1:50:46
Speaker 6: So I think you should just find someone that is
1:50:48
Speaker 6: willing to give you the information. Like there's so many
1:50:52
Speaker 6: people that have learned from whatever industry it is, and
1:50:55
Speaker 6: they have courses or they have you know, consultations, or
1:50:59
Speaker 6: they have you know, something that can help you. I mean,
1:51:03
Speaker 6: you know, nine times out of ten, your your competitor
1:51:06
Speaker 6: isn't going to say, hey, come over here, like I'm
1:51:09
Speaker 6: gonna let you into you know, everything that I've built
1:51:12
Speaker 6: so hard, right, because building a business is hard work,
1:51:15
Speaker 6: and so most people are not just gonna say, hey, yeah,
1:51:18
Speaker 6: you know, here's all my secrets, here's everything, because again,
1:51:21
Speaker 6: that is valuable. So I mean you may want you
1:51:25
Speaker 6: also can approach them and let them know that you know,
1:51:28
Speaker 6: you will pay for whatever information. I don't know, come on, Torry, Rashad,
1:51:33
Speaker 6: you guys have anything for this.
1:51:35
Speaker 3: I feel like, I feel like it's extremely important to network,
1:51:39
Speaker 3: so you know, your network will determine your network. Is
1:51:44
Speaker 3: sounds sounds like a cliche saying, but it's actually true. Right,
1:51:47
Speaker 3: So if I was in a position, I would identify
1:51:51
Speaker 3: the people that have reached the level of success that
1:51:54
Speaker 3: you would that you want to achieve and find out
1:51:57
Speaker 3: how you can add value to them without even ask
1:52:00
Speaker 3: them for anything, Like you know, see how you can
1:52:03
Speaker 3: add value to them for free, whether it's through introducing
1:52:06
Speaker 3: them to somebody else or you know, you know, working
1:52:09
Speaker 3: with them or working for them or whatever. Like you know,
1:52:11
Speaker 3: I would try to figure out how I could add
1:52:13
Speaker 3: value to that particular person and then from their establish
1:52:17
Speaker 3: a relationship with that person, and then from establishing a
1:52:20
Speaker 3: relationship from that person, actually learning from that person. But
1:52:25
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's how I would go about it.
1:52:27
Speaker 3: If there's not information online or if she said if
1:52:29
Speaker 3: there's not a course available, stuff like that, I would
1:52:31
Speaker 3: try to identify the people that I really want to
1:52:34
Speaker 3: learn from, see how I can be an asset to them,
1:52:38
Speaker 3: build a relationship with them, and then learn from them.
1:52:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll just add to that, You're probably in the
1:52:43
Speaker 4: right space for that, right because there's over twelve thousand
1:52:44
Speaker 4: people in this community, and so I'm sure that there's
1:52:47
Speaker 4: somebody that is in that space right now that can
1:52:49
Speaker 4: help you as a peer and you could perhaps grow together.
1:52:51
Speaker 4: Right your next business partner could be listening to your
1:52:54
Speaker 4: plea right now. So I would put that in the
1:52:57
Speaker 4: Facebook group and then to see the response, especially we
1:53:00
Speaker 4: got a large audience in Toronto, so shout there by
1:53:03
Speaker 4: in Toronto. But there's somebody right now that can help
1:53:05
Speaker 4: you maybe here. So put that out there and see
1:53:07
Speaker 4: what the feedback is.
1:53:08
Speaker 2: Man.
1:53:09
Speaker 3: And in regard to the Canadian question, because I did
1:53:12
Speaker 3: see somebody on YouTube earlier that said that that, you know,
1:53:14
Speaker 3: there's not a lot of content that's related to Canada.
1:53:18
Speaker 3: The stocks is related to anything crypto and stocks, you
1:53:22
Speaker 3: can do anything. There's a lot of content with that.
1:53:24
Speaker 3: But I would say this, let's let's if there's enough
1:53:28
Speaker 3: Canadians in Eyo University. Let's let's create an infinity group
1:53:31
Speaker 3: inside of Eyo University for Canadians. Like I'm not sure
1:53:35
Speaker 3: if there's one that's already exist or not, but I
1:53:39
Speaker 3: thought it.
1:53:39
Speaker 2: So, you know, we just we just bought the idea.
1:53:42
Speaker 2: We had a UK one.
1:53:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have one in the UK. Shout out to Scarlett,
1:53:45
Speaker 3: she's ahead of that. Shout to all the UK earners.
1:53:47
Speaker 3: We have an infinity group for UK earnest. So I
1:53:50
Speaker 3: know that obviously, like the laws are different in Canada,
1:53:53
Speaker 3: attack structures different in Canada, real estate is different in Canada.
1:53:57
Speaker 3: So let's uh, you know, we're always looking to the situation.
1:54:01
Speaker 3: So let's figure out how we can add more value
1:54:06
Speaker 3: to the Canadian earnest. Create an affinity group, get different
1:54:10
Speaker 3: people that are doing business inside of Canada to actually,
1:54:14
Speaker 3: you know, come speak and talk about topics that are
1:54:18
Speaker 3: specific to Canada.
1:54:21
Speaker 4: And then when we come up there there you do it.
1:54:26
Speaker 3: So let's get on that. Let's get on that aside,
1:54:28
Speaker 3: I'll hit Janet and we can start working on that,
1:54:31
Speaker 3: you know, this week as far as building building more
1:54:34
Speaker 3: of a stronger content strategy for the Canadians.
1:54:39
Speaker 2: Uy International, Thanks.
1:54:43
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, no, Toronto, Canada. That's like one of my
1:54:45
Speaker 3: favorite cities in the world.
1:54:46
Speaker 2: So shout out to the Toronto family.
1:54:49
Speaker 3: As soon as they lift this COVID relasions, you know,
1:54:52
Speaker 3: I'm headed to Caravanners.
1:54:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, shout out to Kitty Caravan and everybody that pulled
1:54:58
Speaker 4: up to that back in the day.
1:55:00
Speaker 2: Change our lives forever. All I appreciate you. Jay, Yes,
1:55:03
Speaker 2: thanks all that stuff.
1:55:04
Speaker 3: A good night, all right. So this was a jam
1:55:06
Speaker 3: pack session, almost two hours of straight information. Miss Business
1:55:11
Speaker 3: once again hit her up if you need your taxes done,
1:55:15
Speaker 3: but even you know, outside of that, really create I
1:55:19
Speaker 3: want to just hammer this part home. She really created
1:55:21
Speaker 3: the Encyclopedia for Business. That workbook that she gave a
1:55:28
Speaker 3: view to that was actually amazing, Like it had hyperlinks
1:55:31
Speaker 3: into actually the IRS website to actually get your EI
1:55:34
Speaker 3: in number. It's like that is like a college booklet
1:55:38
Speaker 3: right there. And that's just the workbook that has nothing
1:55:40
Speaker 3: to do with the fifteen hours of actual content. So
1:55:43
Speaker 3: for five hundred dollars, like I said, if you are
1:55:46
Speaker 3: in business, that's an investment that you honestly cannot afford
1:55:50
Speaker 3: not to make. So the link is pinned. I highly
1:55:54
Speaker 3: strongly suggest that you know check it out MS Blueprinteyo
1:55:59
Speaker 3: dot com extremely extremely valuable information there and once again,

Speaker 3: the gift that keeps giving. And yeah, anything anything that
1:56:31
Speaker 3: you want to says MS Business.
1:56:33
Speaker 6: Thank you guys for having me again. I love my earners.
1:56:37
Speaker 6: I had a client today call me. He was like,
1:56:39
Speaker 6: so like triple A, I'm an earner, so do I
1:56:43
Speaker 6: get a discount? I'm like, do not play. But earners
1:56:48
Speaker 6: are treated very special in my office. I appreciate all
1:56:53
Speaker 6: of you guys for even showing up for yourself. As
1:56:56
Speaker 6: Rashad said, this course should be a lot more money. However,
1:57:02
Speaker 6: the goal right now, as I said, twenty twenty two
1:57:06
Speaker 6: is the year of the bosses. So for me, it's
1:57:07
Speaker 6: so important to have more of us doing good business
1:57:11
Speaker 6: and not having our business fail because we feel that,
1:57:15
Speaker 6: you know, we're not seeing or we don't have the
1:57:18
Speaker 6: solution or the resources or the understanding. And so every
1:57:22
Speaker 6: single person in that workbook has provided resources, has pretty
1:57:27
Speaker 6: much showed up with the blueprint, like every single topic,
1:57:31
Speaker 6: every person showed up. And that's what's important to me
1:57:34
Speaker 6: because it's cool to start an LLC, but it cannot
1:57:38
Speaker 6: stop thing. We're no longer just starting LLC's. We are
1:57:41
Speaker 6: starting profitable businesses, sustainable businesses, and we cannot do that
1:57:45
Speaker 6: without the knowledge. So again, thank you guys so much
1:57:48
Speaker 6: for having me.
1:57:51
Speaker 3: Janet let me know that the orientation will be on
1:57:56
Speaker 3: February fifth, fifth, So orientation. So, like I said, how
1:57:59
Speaker 3: we run university, we kind of took the whole blueprint
1:58:02
Speaker 3: up like a college, but took the good parts and
1:58:05
Speaker 3: left the bad parts. So you don't have to go
1:58:08
Speaker 3: to philosophy class, you don't have to go to you know,
1:58:12
Speaker 3: how to dissect the turtle. You just get the information
1:58:15
Speaker 3: that you need. Or like orientation, like Howard College University
1:58:19
Speaker 3: has orientation. We do that once a month for all
1:58:21
Speaker 3: the new earners that come in. Because the website has
1:58:24
Speaker 3: like over one hundred and fifty different like archived classes.
1:58:26
Speaker 3: All the classes are archive too, So we got that
1:58:29
Speaker 3: from like a college structure. The infinity groups very similar
1:58:33
Speaker 3: to like a college like you go, you have like
1:58:35
Speaker 3: the black student Union, you have all of that, Like
1:58:38
Speaker 3: that's how we got the infinity group situation. Of course,
1:58:43
Speaker 3: you know, we got the cap that's like the mascot,
1:58:48
Speaker 3: and you know, we have a hierarchy being a students.
1:58:51
Speaker 3: We have professors. Miss Business actually is a professor. So
1:58:54
Speaker 3: we have season tenured professors that teach on an ongoing basis.
1:59:00
Speaker 3: We have some professors that come in as one off.
1:59:04
Speaker 3: Those are like you know, guests that just come in
1:59:07
Speaker 3: for you know, presentations, and then yeah, we we have
1:59:14
Speaker 3: a movie club, book club, very similar. The problem with
1:59:19
Speaker 3: is not the educational It's not necessarily the structure of
1:59:23
Speaker 3: education that's the problem. It's what they're teaching that's the problem.
1:59:26
Speaker 3: Because there are a lot of good things in the
1:59:28
Speaker 3: educational structure, Like you can learn a lot from the
1:59:31
Speaker 3: educational structure. It's the information that they're teaching and the
1:59:35
Speaker 3: price that you're paying that's usually the problem. So we,
1:59:38
Speaker 3: like I said, we took the good parts. We didn't
1:59:40
Speaker 3: just come up with this overnight. We actually like really
1:59:42
Speaker 3: studied this. It's like a whole thought process behind Eyo University.
1:59:46
Speaker 3: So we literally took like the good parts of college
1:59:49
Speaker 3: and higher learning and adapted it to the new age
1:59:53
Speaker 3: way of learning online virtual at a fraction of the course,
1:59:58
Speaker 3: which is like the perfect blend of a new higher education.
2:00:04
Speaker 4: We also added one of our tenured professors, credit Dude,
2:00:08
Speaker 4: who was doing once a quarter, is now going to
2:00:11
Speaker 4: be here every month by popular demand. He's dropped so
2:00:13
Speaker 4: much information and just such a positive dude that he
2:00:15
Speaker 4: decided to, Look, I love the earners, I love the community.
2:00:18
Speaker 2: I gotta come back more often. So he's gonna be
2:00:20
Speaker 2: once a month as well.
2:00:20
Speaker 4: So it's I mean, your favorite guests now becoming your professors.
2:00:24
Speaker 2: It's like, what else is happening.
2:00:25
Speaker 3: This is the first time I've actually said this publicly.
2:00:27
Speaker 3: But maybe we can do a podcast about because it's
2:00:30
Speaker 3: actually a business structure behind the Eyo University and it's
2:00:33
Speaker 3: a lot that goes into that, and yeah, maybe we
2:00:38
Speaker 3: could do a podcast to break that down. But even
2:00:39
Speaker 3: like different stuff that we have planned, like we have
2:00:41
Speaker 3: like sports events playing for this this year, like we
2:00:44
Speaker 3: probably end up doing like a cookout stuff like that,
2:00:46
Speaker 3: like you need the school spirit. School spirit is extremely
2:00:49
Speaker 3: important to any university if you really think about it,
2:00:52
Speaker 3: that's it's a whole psychological play with these universities. So
2:00:54
Speaker 3: school spirit is something that's extremely important. It's important to
2:00:57
Speaker 3: have high morale and high school spirit. So this is
2:01:00
Speaker 3: why we're going to start doing live events. This is
2:01:03
Speaker 3: why you know we have colors blue and white. Every
2:01:07
Speaker 3: university has a color scheme to the universities. Homecomings. Homecomings
2:01:13
Speaker 3: extremely important. Homecomings is extremely important to universities. But the
2:01:20
Speaker 3: last thing I say about this is that a university
2:01:23
Speaker 3: is only as good as it's alumni, it's students, student body.
2:01:28
Speaker 3: If you really think about it, Harvard doesn't really have
2:01:30
Speaker 3: to market Harvard. Their students and their students' achievements make
2:01:36
Speaker 3: Harvard Harvard. Whether it's Howard University, whether it's Yale, whether
2:01:40
Speaker 3: it's Duke, whether it's Columbia. So the same thing with
2:01:43
Speaker 3: Eyo University. It's up to you guys to really implement
2:01:47
Speaker 3: this information and then your success is ultimately our success
2:01:52
Speaker 3: because we're only as good as students. So it's very
2:01:58
Speaker 3: extremely important that the information acts it get supplied and
2:02:01
Speaker 3: you guys make money. So it's in our it's actually
2:02:04
Speaker 3: in our best interest to help you guys make money
2:02:07
Speaker 3: because as you become successful, now the institution becomes more
2:02:14
Speaker 3: and more prestigious because we will have the next Jeff Bezos,
2:02:19
Speaker 3: the next Elon Muss, the next whoever come out of
2:02:24
Speaker 3: e y L University.
2:02:25
Speaker 4: Don't don't worry, man, you don't got to get the
2:02:27
Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty credits. Just get the credit score
2:02:30
Speaker 4: and get the businesses up and running and make that money.
2:02:33
Speaker 2: So and we was very even the logo.
2:02:35
Speaker 3: If you look at the logo, it's very Ivy leaguash
2:02:38
Speaker 3: with the with the shield and the branch. So you know,
2:02:44
Speaker 3: the there's a lot of thought process that went into
2:02:47
Speaker 3: the Eyo University. So yes, just wanted to put that
2:02:52
Speaker 3: out there. Yes, all right, ten o'clock on eas. The
2:02:58
