I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing @haroldph, the founder and CEO of @bandwagonfanclub on today’s episode of the #shontaviashow. BANDWAGON has raised more than $2 million and has attracted the attention of folks like Google for Startups & @arlanwashere. Harold has even pitched Mark Cuban. . . During one powerful moment during our conversation, Harold talked about side hustling while working in corporate America. Even though this was very early on, he talked about how he acted like a successful startup founder back when it was just a dream. . . I loved the way he described this! Sometimes you gotta act your way into what you want. 💪🏾💪🏾 . . What steps can you take to begin acting like you’re already part of the future you’re working toward?? #makeithappen #shontavia #shontaviajohnson #inspiration #business #entrepreneurship #motivation #entrepreneur #sidehustle #makeithappenmonday #mondaywisdom https://www.instagram.com/p/B9PS99JlxG0/?igshid=1miu40izxc28x

One of the first choices you’ll make as a new business owner is what kind of structure your company will have. Even if you don’t file any kind of application, you’ve made a choice to operate as something called a “sole proprietor.” . . If you want to protect your personal assets (house,car, bank accounts) from any kind of potential liability/problems that arise as you operate your business, you’ll want to consider registering an LLC or incorporating a corporation. . . The LLC will provide liability protection & you can choose whether to file separate taxes or, if you’re the only LLC member, you can submit tour tax documents with your personal tax return. LLCs don’t offer stocks, and this can make it harder to raise money. But, there are few formal requirements to keeping your LLC status. . . The corporation also provides liability protection—to owners and shareholders— but it is always a separate, tax paying entity. Corporations can offer stocks to others, which is helpful for raising money. But, you are required to have a certain number of meetings to keep your corporate status. . . For more on this, plus some info about sole proprietorships and nonprofits, check out episode 13 of the #ShontaviaShow. . . #makeithappen #shontavia #shontaviajohnson #inspiration #business #entrepreneurship #motivation #entrepreneur #sidehustle https://www.instagram.com/p/B84h-67Fsoc/?igshid=1vl3kh41p6qmb
