hello sir

In relation to your video - me and some friends from my architecture university have discussed working together after we finish our courses.

Lets say we were to open a firm/atelier together, how would a group of guys start out a business? This all came to mind when you mentioned in your video about opening up bank accounts, working with people you can communicate with well and people who compliment you.

Anyways, thanks for the information!

Get some work and get rolling. Divvy up responsibilities. If it goes well, you'll need a company, lets say an LLC. If not, you hadn't spent a lot getting going. You've got some legal paperwork to do in order to substantiate your business. Each of you will have a percentage stake. Open a bank account using your federal tax ID. Start billing the client. Pay your overhead & salaries. Keep getting work and succeed or no work & no ones getting along - do away with it. You'll only know if you try:)

for some reason every time i watch one of your videos, i end up day dreaming and miss the rest of what you have to say. this not because your boring, but because you make me think.

great video.
