Hey Pat, we don’t have LLC’s in Canada, though they sound like something I wish we did have.

The part of the article I wanted to respond to was the “corny or fake” part.
As a new reader (though someone who’s read about 40 of your articles so far) part of what I enjoy is the honesty, and transparency that comes through in your writing.
You are definitely not someone who comes across as fake, and if I could emulate or learn something from you (aside from how to make a great passive income online) it would be how to find my own “voice”. I tend to be writing more “matter of fact” and am still working on getting more of “me” across!

Congratulations on starting your business. I would be interested in hearing, at some point, you opinion on how an LLC compares to an S-Corp, advantages and disadvantages of the latter. My financial advisor had me go with an S-Corp recently, which is why I wondered. Steve´s last blog post..Links for 2009-01-11 [del.icio.us]

I really enjoyed the line: "I will NEVER earn less than I deserve." I like the idea of owning your own company because the harder you work, the more you earn. At my current company if I work harder and longer, I might get noticed and receive a promotion or a bonus or a salary increase. If you own your own business there can be a direct correlation to how much you make and how much you work. Start-Up´s last blog post..Biggest Lesson Learned from this Bear Market
