This article describes the basics of how to incorporate a company. In truth, thanks to the many specialist online incorporation sites that now exist, the process of incorporating your business is not actually that difficult.

It’s always advisable to seek professional legal advice from a qualified expert before deciding to incorporate your business, to make sure that it is the best path to take. Once you are sure that incorporation is right for you, you need to do the following.

You need to choose a name to register and decide in which state you are going to incorporate your company in. The secretary of state for your chosen state of incorporation will be able to tell you whether or not your chosen name is available in that state.  When you make your inquiry, you should also do a trademark check, this can be done at the US trademark website.

Broadly speaking, with small business incorporation, you are usually better off incorporating in your own state of residence if that is where you will be trading in the main. If however your business will be trading across the states, and your plans are for significant growth, you may want to consider Nevada or Delaware as they offer preferential trading conditions.

Once your Company name and state of incorporation have been agreed, you need to start preparing the required official documents, such as; your articles of incorporation, your company’s bylaws and resolutions.

When these documents and your certificate of incorporation have been filed with the secretary of state, you corporation becomes legally official.

The above are just the basic steps of how to incorporate a company. You also need to elect directors, issue your stock certificates and obtain a tax ID number from the IRS.

When you use an online specialist to incorporate your business, a lot of the work is done for you at a reasonable price and the steps that you have to actually take are set out simply for you.

The “Safe” and “Simple” choice for you in deciding which state to incorporate in is, to form your entity, LLC or corporation, in your Home State.

This may be the best choice for some, especially if you’re operating with a low budget, and particularly if you’re still equivocating: “I’m not even sure if my business will work.” Your absolute worst option is to operate as a sole proprietorship, so at the very least you should establish a separate legal entity.

Keep in mind that “simple” and “asset protection” are inversely related. That means if you want more protection for your current and future net worth, keeping it simple (meaning using your home state because it costs less) and/or not having separate entities for separate assets are recipes for disaster, and much more expensive than doing it correctly from the start!

The more financial success you enjoy the more complex your structure should be. The key here is to outsource these services to a company that can make it easy for you.

But Wait…Planning to Move Out of Your State in the Next Few Years?

Then your best “pivot point” is to incorporate in Nevada. Here’s why:

Imagine you live in and have incorporated your business in California. An unexpected opportunity arises, and a year later you move to Florida. California has an annual franchise tax fee ($800 at a minimum.) Florida does not. Do you want California to be your state of domicile, and now have to foreign register into Florida?

In this case, there’s no advantage to being linked to California. So do you dissolve the California Corporation and form a new one in Florida? That strategy means you’d lose 1-2 years of track record, which is very important when it comes to establishing business lines of credit.

If you anticipate even a possible change of circumstances in the next 2-3 years, the best approach is to incorporate or form your LLC in a state like Nevada and foreign register from the start.

It is opportunity to incorporate and keep that corporation alive in the 21st century business community. With many people, a home based business is the answer to their dreams and having the freedom to move about the country is one of the advantages of forming your entity in a state like Nevada. Makes sense, doesn’t it?

Law Of Attraction – Easy Technique To Make Law Of Attraction Work For You

In reality, the Law of Attraction is just a “commercial” name for the REAL Law: the Law of Belief. “What the mind can conceive and BELIEVE, the mind can achieve”, “What yoy deeply BELIEVE at the subconscious level, will materialize as your reality”, “What you BELIEVE is what you get”, “It is done unto you as you BELIEVE”.

You must be VERY careful with the incomplete teachings of most gurus and experts who keep telling you to focus on what you want and keep your vibrations HIGH!

Unfortunately, they don’t tell you the MISSING LINK connecting (1) the Law of Attraction, (2) keeping your focus on what you desire, and (3) keeping your vibrations HIGH.

That MISSING link is your BELIEF.

You BELIEFS are the ULTIMATE CAUSE of (1) what you predominantly think about all day long, (2) what you predominantly focus on, (3) the emotional ’states’ you predominantly experience, and (4) your predominant attitudes and behaviors — which will cause you to send out a very specific type of vibrations.

As long as you continue holding the same OLD beliefs (and value-beliefs), you will CONTINUE to (2) predominantly think the same OLD way, (2) predominantly focus on the same OLD things, (3) predominantly experience the same OLD emotional ’states’, and (4) predominantly have the same attitudes and behaviors — which will CAUSE you to send out the same OLD BAD vibrations attracting to you the same OLD undesirable results.

Most people FAIL when using the Law of Attraction because they make lots of conscious efforts to focus on what they want and keep their vibrations HIGH, while all the time, their Subconscious mind keep holding to the same OLD beliefs which ARE CAUSING them to automatically send out the same OLD ‘low’ vibrations attracting more of what they do NOT want.

CHANGE your beliefs (and value-beliefs) and almost like by magic, you will (1) predominantly think in a NEW way, (2) predominantly focus on NEW things, (3) predominantly experience NEW and more empowering emotional ’states’, and (4) you will predominantly have NEW attitudes and behaviors — which will CAUSE you to send out the NEW, high vibrations attracting to you what you truly desire.

The STEPS used to activate the Law of Attraction are the following

1. Identify and make a list of all the limiting beliefs you have about money, including why you believe you cannot make more money.

2. Identify and make a list of all the limiting, conflicting values you have about money . (Value is a certain type of belief which places more importance on certain things than on others. Examples are “It is better to give than to receive”, “I’d rather be honest that rich”, “There are other things more important that money”, “Money isn’t everything”, “Money is not that important to me”, and so on. With those value-beliefs you will never attract great sums of money. instead, you will be a money repellent.

3. Proceed to ELIMINATE all the limiting beliefs and values in your list in your LIST. There are many ways to do that. It is not possible to cover them In this short article.

4. REPLACE those beliefs/values with beliefs/values that will give you what you desire.

5. Study the lives and the way of thinking of very rich people. Make a LIST of those beliefs/values they must possess in order to think, act and achieve the way they do. Incorporate them into your thinking immediately.

6. Keep programming into your mind all those beliefs/values until they become part of your Subconscious mentality — at which time you will automatically start thinking like a rich person.

7. Become proficient at self-hypnosis to make the re-programming easier and faster.

8. Learn to control your Self-Talk to immediately ZAP from your mind any limiting thoughts as soon as they cross your mind. This is also known as “STATE” control. By being able to control your ’states’ of mind and keep them positive and focused on your desired goals most of the time, you will automatically send out those HIGH vibrations that will attract to you what you desire.

EASY TECHNIQUE TO ACTIVATE THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

It is strongly recommended that you get rid of your limiting beliefs/values before using this technique. The degree of success with this technique will depend on the number of limiting beliefs/values you are able to identify and eliminate.

You will use a FORMAT seldom used by most gurus and experts. It is the COMMAND format or mode. You will COMMAND yourself to do certain things just like the emperor gives commands to his subjects. It is extremely powerful and works when most other types of formats (present tense, first person “I”, etc.) fail.

There is a new biography of Warren Buffett being published. It explains that Buffett was OBSESSED with making money.

The COMMAND mode is an easy and very effective way of imprinting that obsession in your Subconscious mind.

It is recommended you do it for 5-10 minutes when you wake up (AM) and for 5-10 minutes when you go to sleep (PM).

With your eyes closed, take several deep breaths to place yourself in a deeper, more relaxed state. Those who know how to use self-hypnosis, can place themselves in a deep trance state.

Once deeply relaxed, start repeating over and over for 5-10 minutes the following COMMANDS:

“BE A MONEY MAGNET.
ATTRACT MONEY LIKE A MAGNET.
ATTRACT MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS QUICKLY,
EASILY, EFFORTLESSLY”.

LET these COMMANDS sinking deeper and deeper into your Subconscious mind without trying hard. The MORE you try to FORCE things, the GREATER the Subconscious resistance will be.

That is all there is to it.

If you feel like it, and it comes NATURAL to you, you may visualize money coming to you from every source and every direction in great avalanches of abundance. But, that is NOT necessary. Keep it as simple as possible.

Do it every morning and every night.

And, do it also when you have some free time during the day.

The MORE you repeat this simple technique, the FASTER you will get the results you desire.

Enjoy it!

The Green Side Of White R&B
 by: Gian Fiero

What’s the deal with so many white music artists singing black music? Why do white artists who sing black music get better promotion than black artists? Why is R&B music now synonymous with Hip-Hop?

These are some of the hot topics that often come up in private conversations with my industry associates and colleagues. I will attempt to shed some much needed light on these delicate, sensitive and somewhat controversial issues.

To really understand the phenomenon of white music artists singing R&B, you should begin with an examination of the motivation and purpose behind the establishment of “black music divisions” at record companies in the 60’s. While the success of Motown as a black owned operation has been well-documented and highly publicized, many of the competing record labels of that time lacked the personnel to adequately exploit the abundance of musically talented black teens.

White owned record companies shrewdly appointed black music executives who were more in tune and in touch with black music (and the black artists that created and performed it), to help interface with them. This was, after all, a time when race relations were strained and tentative.

Many record companies and radio stations took note of the increasing
popularity of R&B music among white teenagers and attempted to preserve racial barriers by denying them access to it. Their denial constituted a potential economic problem since the music industry (like most industries) thrives on supply and demand. Their solution: provide their darling teenaged kids with a “white” alternative; someone who “sounded” black and performed “black” music, a la Elvis Presley, whose popularity was soaring. It wasn’t uncommon for records in that era often to have two different versions – a white version and a black version – which was serviced to the appropriate audience.

In the 70’s, the push toward equality and peace gave birth to a more
gregarious and unified music industry. Top bands like Sly & The Family
Stone, Tower of Power, Earth Wind & Fire, and The Commodores emerged
and enjoyed success throughout the 70’s, but many lacked crossover
appeal and forced black music executives to search for other viable options in order to save their jobs. One option was Disco – the hot novelty genre.

Disco was more than a new genre; it was a cultural release from the
lingering social anxieties and racial tensions of the 60’s and emerged as the dominant format because of its mass market appeal and universal acceptance. The music industry eventually sobered up from the lecherous activities and rampant drug abuse of the disco era in 1979, just in time to endure the worst financial year of its existence.

With slumping record sales and a gluttony of music acts that were signed to perform disco songs, the R&B music community returned to its soulful roots and searched desperately for an answer to rectify the problems that plagued it. The answer wasn’t written on the wall, but it was found in the album “Off The Wall” by Michael Jackson, which helped to transition R&B music back into a more “Pop-friendly” format; a la Motown.

While Michael captured the heart’s and imaginations of white America with his unhuman dance moves, there were plenty of black music pioneers upholding the funky values and virtues of black music as we
we marched into the techno era of the 80’s. R&B music seemed to
undergo a much needed resurgence.

The R&B bands of the 70’s started to downsize in personnel as more emphasis was being placed on solo acts (a la Michael Jackson) and vocal groups. For the R&B music artist, the advent of technology superseded the need to be backed up by a band, ushering in the producer era which R&B music is heavily predicated on today.

It was also at this time that many record companies began merging and restructuring – a move that resulted in the loss of hundreds of jobs for black music executives who were worked in the black music divisions.

Shortly thereafter, we witnessed the birth of “blue-eyed soul” as
white music artists who were performing R&B music begun to receive heavy and steady financial backing by their record labels. Hall & Oates enjoyed unprecedented success in the early and mid-80’s a litmus test for the acceptance of white artists performing R&B under the guise of Pop music.

While Hall & Oates may have raised a few eyebrows in the R&B music community, eyes were opened widely when George Michael, a former
member of Pop teen group Wham!, won a Grammy for the best “black” album in 1989. It was the first time in history that a white solo music artist topped the R&B charts. The R&B music community was outraged as veteran black music artists Freddie Jackson and Gladys Knight denounced the political voting practices of the Academy that renders the nominations.

While the award was well-deserved in terms of record sales and radio airplay, the color lines of who qualified as a “black” music artist had been redefined. When the smoke cleared, the music industry in general, and R&B music community in particular, would both be changed forever.

As we stood on the doorsteps of the 90’s, more black music executives lost their jobs as record companies continued the trend of merging, restructuring and downsizing in an effort to diversify their business interests and increase their profits.

Rap music was (finally) being fully embraced as a commercially
viable genre and record companies moved quickly to cash in on it. The appeal of low investments, and (potentially) high returns, constituted a major shift in business practices at record companies, and black music artists found themselves jockeying for position on the
revamped priority lists of their now predominantly white music
executives. After all, Rap was already achieving magical “underground” sales.

All the record companies needed to do was bring it to the surface and supply their distribution and marketing resources them. Since much of the music was already recorded, they could also circumvent many of the
recording costs as well. While the music industry made an overt
and deliberate attempt to position itself to supply what appeared to be an insatiable demand for Rap music, it lost sight of the distinction between R&B music, and Rap music.

R&B music lovers helplessly watched as orders came down from white music executives to incorporate elements of Rap music into R&B songs to make them more competitive with Rap, since Rap music artists posed a clear and tangible threat to the record sales of R&B music artists.

At the time, Mariah Carey and Color Me Badd were enjoying newfound
stardom that came (once again) as a result of white music executives
pushing a novelty agenda of white music artists performing R&B music.
Both of the aforementioned acts were initially viewed (by black audiences) as alternatives to their black competitors (Whitney Houston and Boyz II Men respectively), but with such strong marketing and promotional campaigns, both Mariah Carey and Color Me Badd were able to establish their own identity.

Today, the trend continues with white music executives diligently marketing and promoting the novelty agenda of white music artists such as Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera, Joss Stone, Anastacia, etc. singing R&B. Some insiders say that the music industry continues to deliberately and intentionally find alternatives to black music artists to service to white
audiences such as Britney Spears, who was presented as an alternative to Janet Jackson, and Nelly Furtado, who draws similarities to Erykah Badu, you decide.

While some will argue that it’s not a simple matter of black versus white since some of the aforementioned music artists are not “white” but are of different ethnicities or even “part” black, the fact is that the widely held opinion in the black community is that if you don’t look black (possessing obvious African American features), then you are not. You are something else other than black; and “white” becomes a description of an unknown racial category.

The new business model of the music industry has created new
opportunities for black entrepreneurs, but many of them lack the financial resources to take advantage of them. As a result they are often forced to participate in the production of Rap music, or R&B music with Rap production as they try to manufacture or supply product and artists that will enable them to embark upon partnerships and joint ventures with the same record companies that dissolved their black music divisions in the first place.

History and research shows that the music industry has continued to
systematically reduce the role of the black music executive. Many of those who remain are often relegated to the now dispensable role of liaison, gatekeeper and hand-holder for troubled rap acts in this new Hip-Hop era. A far cry from a time when they were once responsible for finding, developing and supporting premier black music artists who created some of the greatest music that we now view as the soundtrack to the this country’s history.

Those songs are still the choice of middle-aged Americans who tune into oldieradio stations across the country that have adopted “Classic Soul” as a new format. Where does that leave R&B
music artists of today? They are left to compete or join forces with
rap artists since they have been lumped into the same
“Urban” or “Hip-Hop” music category.

The formulaic use of R&B to inject a commercial element into Rap
music has contributed significantly to the fusion, and confusion regarding the distinction of both genres. This can be traced back to the 80’s when R&B acts such as Lakeside and Confunksion had huge hits
with songs that incorporated Rap (”Fantastic Voyage,” “Electric
Lady,” and “Square Biz”), R&B music embarked upon a trial marriage that turned out to be a permanent one.

R&B is now used to bolster the talent level perception, black
audience appeal, and record sales of white music artists in
every genre. Even Country (a genre that is guarded by a closed-knit circle of protective white executives), borrows heavily from R&B.

Country is a genre that is ripe for infiltration by conventional R&B artists, but unlike R&B music – which has become a community genre with no one race retaining the inherent rights to perform it – the
likelihood of that occurring is slim because of the unquestioned and
unchallenged exclusion of other races.

The significant issue in white R&B music artists versus black
R&B music artists can be narrowed down to one question: who gets the greater commitment and promotion from their record companies to service a larger audience of consumers?

When one considers the commitment level, dedicated resources, and promotional opportunities which are more abundant for white R&B music artists, and that blacks only account for 15% of the population, and that white music artists inherit a larger audience to begin with, understanding the green side of white R&B becomes much easier.

Okay, you have made the decision to go ahead and incorporate to protect yourself. The next question is where is the best place to do so?

One of the most misunderstood elements of business law is jurisdiction. Jurisdiction simply refers to the issue of what laws control particular situation. Actually, a better way to put it is whose laws control? In many business law niches, state laws are the guiding light, not federal law. The formation of business entities is one such place.

So, what location should you pick? In most situations, it is the state you will be conducting the business in. Remember, state law is controlling here. Nearly all states view businesses being run within their borders as falling under their jurisdiction. This means you are required to comply with the laws of the state. You are also required to pay taxes and fees the state requires for the running of your business.

Ah, but what about Nevada? For those new to the process, Nevada is touted as a great place to form your business entity. The state has very minor taxes, so many trump it as the best state to incorporate. There is, however, one problem. If you incorporate in Nevada, but run your business out of an office in your state, you are almost always violating the laws of your state. When tax agencies and regulatory groups look at business entities, the state of incorporation is not the issue. Instead, the issue is where is the business actually being conducted. If you incorporate your business in Nevada, but run it out of Los Angeles, you could be in big trouble. California will eventually figure it out. When they do, you will be penalized and assessed back taxes. It is an ugly situation.

There is one way around this situation. It involves a double incorporation strategy. Essentially, you incorporate one business in Nevada and one in your state. The Nevada entity runs the basic business. The entity in your state then manages the Nevada entity for a fee. This may sound great at first glance, but it is an expensive option. Make sure you talk with an attorney before going down this road.

If you are incorporating on your own, you should probably stick with the state you will be running the business out of. If you have other ideas, make sure to sit down with a lawyer or accountant to discuss your plan.

Ind. lawmakers: ACS performance now under scrutiny – Yahoo! Asia News

INDIANAPOLIS – Influential lawmakers said Tuesday that Indiana welfare subcontractor Affiliated Computer Services Inc. will come under closer scrutiny now that Gov. Mitch Daniels has fired IBM Corp. from the project.

Rep. Peggy Welch, a Bloomington Democrat who sits on both the State Budget Committee and the General Assembly’s Medicaid Oversight Commission, said some lawmakers wonder whether Dallas-based ACS was responsible for some of the poor service, lost documents and other problems that resulted in Daniels firing IBM Thursday from a 10-year, $1.34 billion contract to automate intake for food stamps, Medicaid and other welfare benefits.

“We’re going to be watching closely on ACS, because there is a perception that they are just as bad an actor as IBM,” Welch said after a meeting of the Legislature’s Medicaid Oversight Commission.

Rep. Suzanne Crouch, R-Evansville, said lawmakers remain skeptical of ACS because it was brought in by Mitch Roob, a former ACS executive who oversaw the IBM/ACS project as Family and Social Services Administration secretary until January, when he became Indiana’s secretary of commerce.

“People are uncomfortable that ACS is still in place and that they were brought on board by former Secretary Roob,” said Crouch, one of several Evansville lawmakers who’ve led legislative criticism of the welfare changes.

Roob’s office did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

The lawmakers’ comments provided the first indication since IBM’s firing that political pressure also was building against ACS, one of IBM’s largest partners in the welfare outsourcing that moved 1,500 case workers from the state’s payroll to ACS’ employment 2 1/2 years ago. ACS workers compile eligibility data on welfare applicants before state employees decide which benefits to award.

ACS spokesman Ken Ericson said when IBM was fired last week that his company was looking forward to working more closely with FSSA and that it “remains fully committed to the success of this project.”

When asked about lawmakers’ comments Tuesday, he referred to those earlier remarks.

Welch and Sen. Luke Kenley, R-Noblesville, briefed other members of the Medicaid Commission on steps FSSA is taking to implement a “hybrid plan” that will incorporate the call centers, document imaging and Internet access that IBM brought to the welfare program along with the face-to-face contact FSSA offered.

FSSA Secretary Anne Murphy is set to discuss the transition from the IBM contract, which expires Dec. 14, to the hybrid plan Friday in Bloomington before the State Budget Committee chaired by Kenley. She told the panel last month that the IBM project needed more face-to-face interaction between caseworkers and welfare recipients.

Murphy met with Kenley, Welch and some other Budget Committee members last week after Daniels canceled the IBM contract.

Kenley, in response to a question from Medicaid Commission member Rep. Charlie Brown, D-Gary, said FSSA has no immediate plans to roll out the automation and other welfare changes to any new counties. The changes are in place so far in 59 counties with about a third of the state’s welfare caseload of 1.2 million people, but not in some large cities such as Indianapolis, Gary, South Bend and Elkhart.

FSSA spokesman Marcus Barlow said the comments by Welch and Crouch about ACS were “unfortunate” because Daniels said the problems were with IBM’s system and not specific companies.
