It all begins with ethics.

You have to start with ethics.

You have launched a new business, or are running a profitable one, and want to make sure that you are appropriately accounting for things and that you are paying the least amount of taxes legally possible. After all, the U.S. taxation system is complex and a bit biased as it allows wealthy people to own multitudes of assets (businesses, properties, etc.) and pay very little in taxes as long as things are properly managed. Nothing is wrong with that … our point, the U.S. taxation system is not generally set up for the average citizen.

You are past the worry of making sure that the business is sustainable and in the black. Be ethical with your business decisions as most of the time they impact others and often times have unintended consequences. If something is profitable but destroys a local ecosystem, exploits an indigenous population (or anyone for that matter), and/or creates business by lying to customers or propagates a lie. Stop that immediately!

Continuing to make ethical decisions in everyday business operations is critical. Ask the easy, and difficult, questions with how to best handle situations, people, and business operations. You, and your business (employees, customers, vendors, etc.) are not the only ones impacted by these decisions. Be willing to admit to mistakes, or that another way of handling something is better and make those positive changes as quickly as possible ... Karma is a bitch.

It all begins with an idea.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
