Now an LLC

It is March as I write this, just back from spring break with my family. Something I decided while away was to start “doing the blog thing” on a more regular basis. I remembered I had created this place holder a while back, so let’s get it rolling.

There is much to talk about as to the status of my performing business. I’ll probably spread these across several posts. Too much for a single session.
In the fall I formalized the business, officially creating a Limited Liability Corporation. I am now the sole proprietor of I’m No Dummy Productions LLC. In theory, this should limit my liability should some terrible tragedy occur in the course of doing business. In these highly litigious times, we’ll have to see whether it provides any real protection. I hope I never have to find out.

I had a booming month of December on the performing front. As a corporate entertainer, that is by far the busiest month of the year. Many companies do their year-end banquets and need entertainment. I’m finding that business to be spreading into January and even February for what were traditionally Christmas parties. These are being transformed into more generic celebrations in the interest of political correctness. Rather than decide whether to call them Holiday Parties instead of Christmas parties, many companies are punting and moving away from the month of December. This is a good thing for me as it allows me to serve many more clients and spread the load across more months.

As I get going on this blog, I’d love to hear from you. What do you want to hear about? Performing? Ventriloquism? Comedy? Making the jump to self-employment? Faith? I expect to touch on all of these topics in upcoming posts.
