8 Things You MUST Do BEFORE Launching Your Business | Admin Tasks to Start Strong

8 THINGS TO DO BEFORE LAUNCHING YOUR BUSINESS | Administrative Tasks to Complete
Starting a business is HUGE. It’s a great accomplishment but it is a lot of work leading up to launch. Once you get your business idea, research, etc. nailed down, it’s time to start getting the bones of your business in place. Thinking of everything at once can be daunting and make you feel like you don’t know where to start. Trust me, I’ve been there.
In this video, I break down step-by-step, the big ticket administrative/operational tasks that pretty much every business will need to do before the big launch.
Please let me know if you have any questions or additional tips!

Have you guys noticed that : eating out is very difficult and expensive. in an area, typically, you might find an outlet selling pizza, you might sometimes find a restaurant in which meals are quite expensive, and that's it. Here you barely have : very few foods, and they are expensive You can eat almost nothing, Do you guys see ? This model is very inefficient Eating out is nearly impossible Something is definitely missing it is : a restaurant where food keeps changing, food changes every day Chefs also rotate A meal is going to be cheap You get new foods every day. After a period of time : you will have eaten thousands of foods Do you see the difference now ? This model is way better Eating out will finally become possible.

TRADEMARK TIP I WANTED TO SHARE FROM MY LAWYER TEACHER: I just wanted to share this for those who are starting out and want to direct their budget on something they find more important, because registering a trademark can be quite pricey! I had an instructor who was a lawyer for intellectual property (legal stuff so you don't get sued for your work) and she teaches a class on that exact subject in the college I went to. She mentioned that you DO NOT have to pay to trademark your logo, because once you create it, it's your work. So, in order to protect yourself from someone else taking your logo, you can simply add the TM symbol next to it and you're good to go! Now, if you want to make it registered trademark THEN you can go ahead and pay that fee, and the symbol would then be changed to the R symbol.

[@jadapineapple]

Persephani-Monét yes I do! it’s [e-mail]

[@jadapineapple]

Yalethia Lee That’s a fair comment, I just wanted to share that as a possibility for the people who might want to put more focus on getting started. At the end of the day, you work is your work, and someone steals that from you registered or not, you can always take it to court with the proof that you were the one that created it first. Again, this is information coming from a licensed professional, but I see where you’re coming from. Kind of like what happened with the man who created automated windshield wipers. Ford claimed they invented it first, but in reality he invented it and eventually won the lawsuit. For some people getting their business started and fully functioning is more important than paying to register a logo, but I 100% agree with you in the sense that it’s recommended to make the investment early to prevent possible theft of artwork. Thanks for your input!

[@brizenmotivation9536]

k0p I don’t think this comment is really called for. There is so much information out there that sometimes it is possible to feel overwhelmed. Everyone prioritizes these steps differently and many entrepreneurs also follow so many different variations of these steps. What benefit is there in giving such a negative comment when you don’t even know the person or what they’ve done or are dealing with? Maybe try encouragement or, better yet, if you don’t have anything nice to say, silence is just as useful.

Because I learned real quick the difference between business or hustle. I think a lot of people think social media is just posting pics etc. This is a big disclosure that is quiet. I feel if your paying for any kind of marketing looking for potential customers your a business. All business are open ,marketing, having sales etc it not whenever you want extra cash. It's day in and day out. Mad props to ALL who are striving to this direction.

Great tips, love your videos, delivery style, and enthusiasm! Just wanted to offer one helpful note, after you mentioned the costs associated with clothing for your channel. I’m not a tax professional (for the record:)). But for anyone who does their own bookkeeping and or taxes, I would just be extremely cautious about writing off any deductions for “clothing,” (specifically), as it can be a red flag/ trigging an IRS audit. From what I understand/ (have been personally advised), even though clothing passes the “ordinary and necessary” rule when deciding wether or not the expense is a reasonable deduction for schedule C.... Well, you know the IRS, and in this case, they’ve gone out of their way to further define or rather, constrain us, in making it rarely deductible. Unless it’s part of a uniform, or something that one would where “nowhere else but work.” Entertainers can deduct the cost of “theatrical costumes and accessories” as long as “they’re not suitable for everyday wear” It’s deductible if it’s: protective wear (like a hard hat or work gloves, special performance footwear), something you are required to wear as a condition of your employment/ or profession such as a uniform or scrubs, promotional wear (like a shirt with your logo printed on it), a “costume” which strictly means- it passes the test of whether or not you’d be able to wear it in public/ outside of the business. To boil it down: if one can potentially wear the clothing on the street, then it’s nondeductible. Even if you invested in clothing that you had planned to wear specifically and exclusively for filming, or you buy a suit intended for wearing once at a speaking event, the IRS considers the costs “nondeductible,” because “it could be worn on the street/ outside of a workplace.” I’m not giving legal advice, as I’m just a small business owner, and of course everyone should do their own research/ homework for their situation, or read the IRS publications/ consult a tax attorney, CPA or trusted professional. I would highly recommend visiting the small business-self employed section of the IRS. gov website, as they have an online learning tool for small businesses there, not all that exciting, but still a free resource for those searching for tax info or help understanding what is and is not deductible :)
