Ok.....I have been in business of different types for 30 years, I followed the path most traveled and lived by the rules that were passed down as "common knowledge"...that was then...this is now.

So...with this new awakening comes a new dilemma.

How to start on the right foot this time?

Due to events in 2000 and the financial recovery/information discovery of the last 5 years...I am now at the point where I am going to try and start again in a small local, service business.

I have approached a personal friend and proposed the concept; he was enthusiastic and motivated by the idea and wants to move forward in a partnership.

He is an open-minded guy and I can talk to him openly about anything. Over the last 6 months we have been regularly having discussions about the state of things but...he is still operating in the old paradigm.

So...can we (the board) have a discussion on ways/methods to set-up a joint enterprise that will allow for my (and possibly his) progression towards sovereignty or at least protections against intrusions by overzealous political bodies?

Topics would include banking, insurance, bonding, city/county/state licenses, receiving payments from customers for services provided, receiving and dispersing profits/returns to partners, paying wages/compensation to employees/contractors, buying supplies and materials and, other relevant topics. I hope we can discuss imperatives, exclusions, necessities and methods of application of the above.

This new enterprise is a blank canvas in relation to the way it may be set-up.

I appreciate any input; warnings or suggestions from the board that have experience in these matters or contemplating it.

Thanks in advance.
