Before Brian hired employees to support his three businesses, he was a solo practitioner in the payroll and financial services space for six years. 

And in today’s bonus episode, we’re tapping into Brian’s 10+ years of experience helping self-employed clients get off the ground. Brian dives into the realities of starting your own business, including: 

• How to prepare for entrepreneurship before making the leap.
• Passion vs. practicality in starting a business.
• The extra work that self-employment demands.
• How to register a business name and weigh the pros and cons of different business entities (namely a sole proprietorship or an LLC — don’t worry, we explain each).
• What additional taxes and liabilities you may face, and how to pay yourself.
• How to bring on extra help if business is booming, and whether those workers are contractors or employees. 

***And just to be on the safe side … This episode does not contain or constitute legal advice. You should really contact a CPA or business attorney if you want advice about your (aspirational or realized) business.***
