If you want a successful journey in small business growth, there are many ways to go about it. In our hurry-up world, where we can confuse activity with accomplishment, the best way to move forward is to slow down and not to go faster. Go too fast, and it is easy to make mistakes. Slow down and book your journey to success. Booking your journey is about reading books that will help improve you and, subsequently, your business.


Mistakes will cost you time. Think about this. Once you have spent some time on something, that time is irreplaceable. It is gone. We can spend more money,, but we can't spend more time. Time management work is essential to success. 


Small business books are a proven way to accelerate your success track. And, they are time well spent. Yes, you can read about systems, accounting, marketing, sales and cash flow. All of this is good and can help. But the best books are the ones that help you create pathways for personal growth.


The little secret of small business running successfully is the personal growth of the owner, founder, or one of the principals. If they don't grow in their thinking and continue with a limited vision, then the business won't grow. 


The key is to go to work on yourself. Once you become more, you can attract more in your business. Too often, we go to work on others and want more, yet we don't have more to offer.


As the owner of a business you can have more business by offering better service, better quality or expand your services to name a few. It all starts with you. If you become a better server and bring more quality into your life, you will attract people who offer more. The same is true for your business. Yes, it all starts with you. As Napoleon Hill said in Think And Grow Rich, "What the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

Owning your own business can be a tiring effort on a treadmill of never-ending work and challenges. Or, it can be an adventure in overcoming challenges that is able to lead you into a life of abundance, freedom, and satisfaction. Go to work on yourself and start conceiving and believing in what you can achieve.


The choice is yours. Think about it. If an entrepreneur successful in business has an unfulfilling life,, what does he have? He has an unhappy life. More business isn't going to make him any happier.


To have a small business successful, the owner must be successful in personal growth. There is no one answer. Yet, books can cause you to slow down and reflect and evaluate are a great way to move you forward to the success, freedom, and abundance you desire.

Business incorporation can encompass many definitions.  In the US, for example, if a person wished to incorporate their home business, a sole proprietorship or S corporation would need to be filed with the State.  Conversely, if you decide to incorporate a business in London, it would be known as “Company Registration” in which specific documents would have to be registered with Company House.


On the other hand, there are several types of companies in the UK such as: PLC or Public Limited Company; LLP or Limited Liability Partnership; LP or Limited Partnership; and CIC or Community Interest Company.  Moreover, besides incorporation in the US, there is also LLC or Limited Liability Company which is similar in scope to its counterpart LLP.


What are the advantages of business incorporation?  First, the profits of the corporation are not subject to taxes; either Medicare or social security.  Second, for larger corporations, there is less hesitancy to approve credit.  Third, there are many benefits a corporation can offer to its employees.


For those who seek business incorporation utilizing a Limited Liability Company, one of the key components is that any losses can be deducted and there is a greater flexibility because the business mirrors a sole proprietorship.


Regardless of whether the act of business incorporation is conducted in the US or abroad, there are some factors which come into play before you decide to incorporate.  First, it has to be determined whether you will file under sole proprietorship, especially if you have a home business with no employees.  Second, registration forms have to be filed with the State.  You can obtain these forms through your state government website.

Third, what will your company known as?  A good idea is to come up with a unique name.  Once you send this information to your State office, they will advise if the name is accepted.  Fourth, if you have a small to medium-sized business, you may wish to file the Articles of Incorporation with the State office.  The forms can be obtained from them as well.


For larger businesses who wish to incorporate, there are many more steps that need to be taken including the election of board members at the first meeting; a formal election of said board members, and the bylaws must be adopted as well.


Although business incorporation may require a great deal of research and thoughtful consideration regarding the business and its eventual goals, the very first step before incorporation begins is acquiring a Federal EIN number from the state in which you operate the business.  


The EIN number replaces your social security number in all facets of your start-up business.  For more information in your state or country, check the government sites online to ascertain what is required before you begin the process of business incorporation.
