    That's very much on purpose. If you follow the law, they can't touch you and they know it.

    Yes, he does explain it. Very clearly.

    You really need to research better. If you read what happened after they went after him you'd know that they had jack sh*t on him and had to drop the case entirely. They showed up at court with mere heresay against him, meanwhile he had already published his 400+ page book from which they...

    The CTA does not apply to domestic corporations, you can safely ignore it. Dave Champion explains very clearly what the CTA law actually says and to whom it actually applies (not you): Why The Corporate Transparency Act Does NOT Apply To You!

    BigCommerce Rest In Peace (Alternatives Re: Price Increase)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    There are *dozens* of completely free, open source shopping cart solutions available. If you simply buy a cheap virtual server plan (you can get a minimal, but adequate server w/static IP address for as low as $4/month) you can then: - install Linux for free (ubuntu, fedora, centos, debian...

    Software in my industry doing $1M+/mo.

    EXECUTION 
    Just my $0.02, but I'd say there's got to be far less risky, far more passive ways to park your money and earn a return. You may think you are buying an asset, but might find out one day you purchased a liability.

    Grew a SAAS from 0 to $30,000+ Monthly Revenue within 1 year ($1mm v.), $0 invested

    SAAS / APPS WEB/DIGITAL 
    IANAL, but I believe the term for this is a letter of intent. It's like the pre-nup version of a business contract, and is afaik enforceable. I've even heard that in some cases you can get funding with a letter of intent in hand if you are going that route (VC or business loan).

    Patents are now just a legal arms race that only prohibits innovation and raises entry barriers--and in some markets ultimately harms the consumers.

    Software in my industry doing $1M+/mo.

    EXECUTION 
    I'm not sure how others will analyze this. But here's my take. 1 - purchasing a business is decidedly an *event*--which violates CENTS. This event is for him the culmination of him doing the work to create wealth in the form of a successful business--he has executed a process getting him to...

    Treat Your Customer Like a King | S.U.C.S

    PEOPLE 
    Let me just toss another anecdote into the SUCS evidence ring. I friend of mine built a multi-million dollar hosting service using SUCS. His requirement for his support call center was that *every* customer call was answered within *3 rings* by a *live person*. No IVR. No hold time. Ever. He...

    Do you use LaTex...

    PUBLISHING 
    There have been free wysiwyg latex editors for years. Now there are even free, really good, online wysiwyg latex editors. But in all honesty, latex is not that hard to learn, extremely flexible, and well worth the effort. Historically there's only maybe one or two reference books tops that you'd...

    Veganism / Plant-Based Diet

    HEALTH 
    Again, let me recommend Lierre Keith's book. The argument to go vegetarian based on avoiding mass scale feed lot animal breeding is fallacious. (And if you are vegetarian, please read that sentence carefully--I didn't say anything about whether or not to go vegetarian, the noun is "the argument...

    Do you actually have to be passionate in the type of business?

    MINDSET 
    The book talks about this plenty. You need to be passionate about fulfilling needs in the marketplace to be successful. It doesn't matter if you are passionate about the product/service your business does or not. Being passionate about the *process* of being in business will get you much farther.

    Veganism / Plant-Based Diet

    HEALTH 
    Possibly one of the best reads about diet in general is "The Vegetarian Myth" by Lierre Keith, a former vegan. She discusses the topic from every angle: politics, ecology, physiology/metabolism, energy, anthropology, and history. Quite often the motives for choosing vegetarianism/veganism come...
