Doing the Dew, Old School Style
Russ - Posted on Monday, March 24th 2008
Some people may know that I’ve been working on starting a business for the past few months. I’ve always wanted to start a business, and I’ve had just about a billion ideas for businesses. I still have a million ideas for other businesses, but I have made the first steps to starting a business that I think should do pretty well. All I will mention about the type of business right now is that it deals with video production.
I’ve already submitted the fictitious name paperwork so that I can legally use the business name to do things. I’ve also got my EIN. One thing I am still looking into is a business license / sales tax license. Apparently in Woodland Park you have to purchase a sales tax license to do business whether you sell actual products or not. I think this is kind of stupid, but Woodland Park likes to be stupid about pretty much everything they do. The sales tax license is $50 per year.
I’m also working on fixing up the business website. It looks OK now, but I want a real design made for it. I am either going to do that myself or hire somebody to do it. So if you do website design, let me know and maybe we can do business together. I’m also working on finalizing what I want the logo to look like and then will be making brochures and business cards.
Overall with the actual time I’ve been able to spend on this with the crazy work I have been doing, I think I’m doing a pretty good job. One of my friends will actually be partnering for me in this business, though we won’t be forming an actual partnership because he is not 18.
I’m pretty excited about this business and I anticipate it doing very well. I’ve always been taught to do the best at what you do. Whether it’s cleaning toilets or building airplanes. You should do your best. I plan on doing that with this business, and using the profits to start additional businesses.

Is it just me, or does this blog look a bit different now? About your business, make sure you have all the paperwork sorted out before you start, including the type of company (proprietorship, LLC, S-Corp, etc.) beacuse I can tell you that you’ll never get round to changing it afterwards, and then it starts hurting when your business grows.
Thanks for the comment! Yes, I changed the design again. I think I like this one better than the previous one, everything is a little cleaner. What do you think?
I’ll be forming this as a sole-proprietorship. We probably will keep it that way instead of incorporating due to the double taxation.
