Dyer Consulting Group
Business Partner Spotlight
So let's say your business has reached the point where you're ready form a Corporation or
LLC.
The first question: what's the best way to get it done?
There are different ways to go about it, as you probably know. There's the Do-It-Yourself
route, which can get tricky. In our experience, this is more complicated than you'd think,
and if you're serious about your business, you need to be serious about this step.
Then there's attorneys. It's important that you consult an attorney along the way, but much
of this formation work can be done by non-attorneys, and this will help you save your much-
needed capital.
So what do we recommend? We're big fans of a local Santa Barbara company that's been
doing this work for years, and they know how to take care of their clients. They are
Formation Solutions, and they really do have "the solution." They'll set up your corporation
or LLC with an affordable, personalized service.
Formation Solutions provides a very thorough, customized entity formation package, going
far beyond the initial filing of papers with the Secretary of State. You should see their
project flow charts that manage their processes: very complex and very geeky, but very
cool.
And the best part? They take this complexity off your plate. No stress.
And you're going to get a different kind of service than if you went with a big dotcom with
call centers on the other side of the planet.
Whether you're ready to get your LLC or corporation together, or if you're still thinking
about it, we'd recommend giving Matthew Burgess or Michael Neville at Formation Solutions
a call. They'll walk you through the process and answer all your questions.
See their website at http://www.formationsolutions.com or reach them by phone at (800)
610-0373. These guys will save you time, money, and headaches.

The Power of Strategic Thinking - September Issue
|
Who Are You?
Winston Churchill once said, "However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the
results". It is essential to define your strategy for your business and utilize the process of good
planning at all times. In this way, strategic planning should be a part of your normal business
practices as an entrepreneur.
The first step in strategic planning has echoes of Churchill's words; you must assess your
organization's current status. Starting here will assess your organization's readiness to engage
in the overall strategic planning process. If you want to improve performance, you must first be
aware of what is currently going on in the everyday processes of your company and the effects
that are produced by those actions.
In order to help you further define areas of examination, a SWOT analysis can be a great tool.
It stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. These key factors are
crucial in assessing your organization's strategic position. Identifying these areas will greatly
benefit your business and ultimately lead to the growth of your venture. Being aware of your
weaknesses can also be a great strength; so do not be fearful of highlighting problem areas.
Use these findings as another means to help you refocus that area and emerge stronger than
before.
It may also be beneficial to apply the SWOT method to your competitors businesses as well.
The competitive business world fights its own battles on a daily basis, and you want to go
into this battle fully armed with a strategy and knowledge of your opposing side. Always
attempt to stay one step ahead of the game by being able to anticipate actions that could
take place down the road, whether it is with a competitor, your business, or trends in the
overall market.

Lights, Camera, Action!
Have you ever met a person who's just simply puzzled? They've attended numerous
seminars, and their car dashboard is stacked to the windshield with recorded self-help
audio CDs...But they just can't seem to make things work.
Why aren't they successful? Because they don't take ACTION.
The biggest step towards the fulfillment of any desire or goal is to take sustained,
lasting action. You could say that this is where the rubber meets the road. All the
knowing, committing, researching, and planning are useless without the application of
your plan. Of the many who know what they want and have good ideas on how to go
about it, most will fail because they simply do not take action. It is one thing to act
one time, or twice, or three times, but it is a whole another ball game to continue to
take sustained action over a period of weeks, months, and years. The results produced
by such a persistent effort speak for themselves. An individual can never achieve a goal
simply by dreaming about it all day. At some point they must act in order to achieve it.
Simply put, action serves as a bridge between knowledge and results.
Remember...Ideas alone won't bring success. They only become viable when you act
on them.
