If you know how to start a small business in a few hours it will remove all the excuses
and give you the opportunity to start really something special in a small period of time.
Let's go.
In this video, I'm gonna walk you through the five things you need to do if you want
to start a small business in just a few hours.
So you're ready to start taking credit cards making money and serving customers.
Starting a business is scary because all the revenue exists and rests on your shoulders.
It's your job to create a business.
It's your job to create revenue.
Hire people if you're gonna hire people.
It's your job to create the opportunity.
But starting a business is so exciting.
There's so much potential that's pend up in launching a business and if you're launching
a business and you wanna do it very quickly?
There's a few things you need to know and a few things you need to do.
The very first thing you need to do is choose a name around the industry and the type of
business you own.
You need to choose a business name so people know who you are.
You need to choose a business name not only do people know who you are but you wanna give
your business identity and in that name built up a few things.
You wanted to communicate what you stand for.
Like our business is called power-up real estate.
That's our training business for two reason.
Number one, we believe investing in real estate gives people personal power.
Because it places them in control of their finances.
My second business where people invest in our deals is titanium capital.
The reason we use the word titanium coz it's a strong metal but it's also light.
We want them to feel light about the experience.
Like it's a heavy thing and numbers are hard and so it communicates a few of the things
we stand for.
In your business name, communicate as much as you can what your business stands for.
Now, you can use your name as a business.
My dad actually works for a company that uses the name as a business name and that's okay
you can use your name as long as it fits.
But again, you wanna make sure the business name communicates what you do.
Now, I like business names that aren't necessarily somebody's personal name.
Because I like the business name to clearly articulate what I do.
Somebody doesn't have to guess and wonder what my true product and services.
The second thing you wanna do is file your LLC.
An LLC is a limited liability company.
Anytime you launch your company you wanna do it under an LLC.
I'm a big fan of doing under LLC versus a sole proprietorship.
Because if something happens in a sole proprietorship all the liability comes back on you and they
can go after your personal assets.
If something happens on they can come after your house your personal positions in order
to satisfy whatever state in place.
By putting it in LLC protects your personal assets.
So they cant come after your assets if something happened.
So, you wanna file an LLC and you file that LLC with the state.
Whatever state you're in.
Whatever state that business is gonna be operating from you need to file the LLC in that state.
That way, your taxes they know from what state that business is operating.
The other thing you'll get with an LLC is you're getting an EIN number and employee
identification number.
The EIN number is really the business identity number.
In a sole proprietor when you fill out W9 or you fill out a form you put in your personal
security number.
In LLC you put in your EIN number, your employee identification number.
You cant open a bank or anybody work on your bank account or transfer money on your bank
account without having that EIN number.
The EIN number is really important to have and you'll get that with your LLC and after
you get your LLC you take that LLC and EIN number and the third thing you do is open
up a bank account.
You got to have a place to put money after you're earning money.
So, you wanna pick a bank account that's pretty close to where you're operating or your work
from.
Coz it's really important to build relationships inside of your bank.
Whatever bank you do your banking with you want to build a network with the loan officers
in that bank.
Coz you'll never know when you wanna buy a piece of real estate or you wanna buy a business
or invest in your own business or take a loan out for business growth.
Coz the more you network inside your bank you may find a lot of relationships where
you can connect with and really grow your business because of your relationships inside
that bank and after you get your bank account.
You go and get professional checks so you can start paying bills and paying people if
you need to do so by check.
It's really important to get these things in line so that when you're running your business
you truly look like a professional in the way that you're operating a company.

The fourth thing you wanna do is to create a website.
A website is an online store in front of every business.
In fact, studies have been shown and nearly 95% of people Google you and actually look
up your business online before they ever call and hire you.
So having a very powerful website where people can go visit is going to very important for
the success of your company.
But how do you create that website?
What kind of pages do you actually need?
The very first page you need is an actual home page.
The home page delivers one specific principle.
What is the service you provide or what is your USP or unique selling proposition?
The idea of a home page of a website is you clearly need to communicate to your customers
what you do and how you do it differently and better than your competitors.
A homepage is a sales page to your customers saying how you're going to serve them better.
Why they should choose you and why are you best at what you do?
On your home page, you really wanna answer the what and the how.
The, what you do and how you do it and this will help a person understand how your company
operates.
The second page you need on your website is about page.
The about page is about you and the company.
People love story that's why we love movies.
We love stories.
That's why stories have been around forever.
That's why little kids love it when their mom and dad tell them a story.
We love good stories and in your company, on your about page tell your story.
How did you launch the company?
Why did you launch the company?
People love to invest in your why.
So on your about page, it's the why.
Why did you launch this company?
Why should they get on board and enter into that story and your journey as an entrepreneur.
The third page that your need is a book for you page.
Meaning, a page that basically gives them a very clear page to book an appointment or
schedule a call.
Now, while you have a whole page that explains how to get in touch with you and usually a
form on that page.
Their name, email, what their problem is, how can serve them, etc and when they hit
send you to get an email.
A new customer filled out a form.
The idea with that book with me page is it's making it very easy for them to communicate
with you.
That they're ready to engage you in some conversation and about your service.
Now, while you have a book you page you want links on every single page that go to that
page.
Coz that's how they get in touch with you.
So, on your home page, you want buttons everywhere that say book me.
So that they can click that button go to that page.
They can fill out that form and you know what they're looking for and the fourth page is
a content page.
This is the idea of either blog or some videos or someplace you're creating content.
I think one of the biggest opportunities for business is every business owes to be a content
creator.
If you're an HPC company you wanna be creating on how to service your unit properly.
The lower utility cost and really optimize your system.
If you're a roofer how to check your shingles to see if their needing to be replaced.
How to make sure your roof has very good health.
If you're a chiropractor the six things you can do to have a really healthy spine.
The idea is no matter what business you're in creating content for your customer.
Because the person that creates content is the expert at least in the customer's eyes
and so for you and your website have a content page where you talk a little bit about.
Not only what you do but you teach the customer about what you do.
Meaning, teaching them about HPC or chiropractic or how to take care of your teeth if you're
a dentist.
Show the customer you know what you're doing.
But one of the principles that's most important when you're launching a business for a short
period of time si what I call the ready fire aim principle.
It's the idea of get ready fire and then afterward were gonna clean up some of the stuff.
Everythings not gonna be perfect when you start a business in this amount of time.
But you can get the business off the ground and start launching and start it right away.
But you have to understand some things are gonna left undone so you can get the market
and start making money from your products and service.
For example, you need to own the whole social media handles around your business on Facebook,
Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter all of these you need to own.
Coz you're gonna continue to build social proof and connect with your potential followers
and customers through those handles.
We may not do that right away coz they may not be the most important right away.
So you kind let that stuff go.
You may not put all your marketing materials and pack things together that you'll later
on use for your marketing.
Coz you really wanna get your market and start serving your customer.
The ready fire aim principle is a powerful principle not just in business but in life.
Because a lot of times we spend so much time aiming that we never get fire and get going
and I'm telling you today if you wanna start a few hours you're probably action taker,
you're a doer.
So these is the very first things you need to do to get your business off the ground
and start making money and also, I have a free gift for you today.
