How to Become an LLC

Read way down to skip the fluff.
Okay, so about a year ago I was building a social networking site with several friends.  Before accepting ad profits, we wanted to make sure that what we were making from it was legal.  To be safe, we wanted to register our organization as an LLC.  Long story short, […]

Pimping Someone Else’s Work

I want everyone to check out this slide show presentation from Pimp Your Work - it’s about visual and creative thinking.  It doesn’t require much reading and it has a ton of pictures - you’ll love it.  I was also supposed to send some love to Behind the Buzz last week, but there was spring […]

Happy Easter from BossHatch!

Easter is coming to a close.  Since I spent 90% of the holiday driving back to school, I never got a chance to make this post (what’s new?).  I should have made a note of it since… you know… this is BossHATCH… and Easter is about eggs, right? Egg painting?  Finding eggs?  Chocolate?

“We Don’t Need No Education” Contest

Let’s get right down to the point: I am an education advocate.  I want people to school me on why higher education is not necessary (or has a detrimental effect) to be a successful entrepreneur.

4-Day Hiatus

I would like to think I am a professional.  In order to do that, I have to show up for work and be a responsible individual.  As you know, I have been gone for the past 4 days to a lake house in the middle of the mountains in eastern Tennessee.  As a professional, it […]

Oh Crap Situation 15: Dangerous Locale

Sometimes it is better to leave a dangerous area… at least, that is what you’re considering after hearing about the latest crime rate in your area.  You run a small general store in an area that used to be crime-free.  Just yesterday you saw your neighbor’s business with a shattered window.  Of course, you are […]

Setting Competitive Fees

Fortune recently posted this article about setting competitive fees involving interior design.
I know how much money my business needs to bring in to cover overhead fees and how much salary I need to cover my family’s expenses. This amount helps me determine how many hours to work per week.
This sounds very minimalist, but it may […]

Morning vs. Night People

The above picture represents my current facial expression. It is 6:30AM and I am about to go to sleep.
There are two types of people in this world… morning people and night people. I am not about to tell you which one is statistically better, but I will tell you which side […]
