So You Want to Start a Business in the United States of America?
I’m about to embark across the “Pond” to present at the IAPA International conference in Manchester, England regarding “Facilitating International Business”. My topic is about starting or expanding a foreign business in the United States of America titled “So, You Want to Start a Business in the USA”.
“Business is a lot like sex…"
Whenever I present to global audiences about entering or expanding their USA business operations, I am reminded of a statement by a high school senior student from South Eugene, Oregon during the final round at a University ...
The IRS and Cryptocurrency Transactions
Both digital currencies and cryptocurrencies have been around for several years (Bitcoin since 2009), but only in the past couple of years has the IRS begun to really focus its enforcement on cryptocurrency transactions. So far the IRS approach has been focused on Enforcement and Punishment, rather than amnesty and voluntary prior year disclosure, a “Stick” approach (punishment) without the “Carrot” (reward). The current IRS approach presents both taxpayer risk and opportunity.
In 2014 the IRS issued Notice 2014-21 that rules virtual currencies (Cryptocurrency ...
Family Advise: Dynamic Change in Family Businesses
The challenges family businesses have of providing effective tax and business advice to entrepreneurial and family-based enterprises

These changes ...
A Call for Mindfulness in Our Modern World
I love people, all kinds of people. I’m as near as I can recall a fourth generation White Male of European (Polish Ancestry) decent that we know of on my Mother’s side (circa 1896). It's time for us to promote thoughts of mindfulness.
As you know I am frequently traveling around the world with most of my travel time spent in Europe and Asia. My travels allow me to experience and absorb different cultures and beliefs that suggest and determine how people might behave. I have friendships with all types of people with different and sometimes opposing perspectives on ...
Consider: Blockchain Uses in Transportation
Blockchain, Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT), and other “Modern” methods of transparent financial transactions have been at the top of my mind this year as it probably has yours too with all the latest headlines we’ve been reading.
Blockchain technology is well known for use with cryptocurrencies; however, it has broad potential in applications beyond that of banking and financial services. It is being evaluated for uses in the transportation industry where it has potential benefits ranging from more efficient business transactions to increased tracking ...
