Mark Kohler has written an excellent book introducing the concepts of Asset Protection for regular people and small business owners.

Taxpayers, hold onto your wallets…

Rob Northrup — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 15:46:46 +0000

One way we lose our assets is through confiscatory levels of government taxation. They force us to give them money for things that they are not authorized to handle, and they turn around and give the money from one group of citizens to another group. (Cash for Clunkers is a good example, there are thousands more…) This [...]

Closing the Barn Door Too Late…

Rob Northrup — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 13:00:50 +0000

Have you heard the phrase “closing the barn door after the horse has already left”? Current economic conditions have people scrambling to put asset protection strategies in place. They may be attempting to close the barn door too late… Fraudulent transfer laws are in place which typically have a four year statute of limitations or thereabouts. They KNOW [...]

Hi all, Back in the old days, people built forts and castles to protect their stuff and their families… Now we have corporations to help protect our assets… if we use them correctly. If we don’t they are like a fort with all the gates open. I want to help as many corporate owners as possible to get [...]

Precious Metals are a Good Asset to Own…

Rob Northrup — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 19:25:57 +0000

I think that everyone should own some gold and silver as part of their personal assets. These precious metals are not likely to provide massive gains or losses like a stock could- that isn’t their purpose. The purpose is to preserve their value with respect to other things. At the turn of the century, you could purchase [...]

Never Co-Mingle Personal & Corporate Funds

Rob Northrup — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 14:50:24 +0000

This is a major no-no for corporate financial record keeping. It can hurt you in so many ways. First, what is co-mingling? Co-mingling of assets involves the owner using business resources for personal purposes, or the business using the owner’s personal resources for business purposes. First things first. You need to have separate bank accounts for your [...]

Michel Fortin, on his superb blog, said it all today with the title, “Purging my way to freedom from email clutter.” But his entire post is still well worth the read: http://www.michelfortin.com/purging-freedom-email-clutter/ You should likewise purge YOUR email box of newsletters that don’t consistently deliver excellent content; hold those who’ve been given permission to interrupt you to [...]

Nevada Corporations… The Truth

Rob Northrup — Thu, 21 May 2009 22:18:11 +0000

Many asset protection strategists tell you that you need to incorporate in Nevada and they’ll help you do it. Now, if you actually live in Nevada and plan to operate the business from there, then Nevada is most likely the best place to incorporate. But if you plan to operate elsewhere and have no other [...]

Walking in the footsteps of Elvis Presley…

Rob Northrup — Sat, 16 May 2009 21:41:06 +0000

A few Graceland and Sun Studios photos… We had a great day today, we were in the first group to arrive at Graceland where we went through the entire house and grounds tour twice… At the front door of Graceland, it is a very humble (and very cool) house considering how wealthy Elvis was…. Everyone should have a Jungle Room [...]

I’m Going To Graceland….

Rob Northrup — Fri, 15 May 2009 23:50:17 +0000

Hi, Just landed in Memphis. Beautiful evening… Here’s one of my favorite songs to listen to with this post… I have been to Memphis twice before in the past ten years. It is even more of a Music City in my mind than Nashville. There are so many great historical roots of the Blues here and [...]

Being Busy Is No Excuse For Poor Corporate Records

Rob Northrup — Thu, 14 May 2009 23:22:23 +0000

I was really busy this week, so I’ll keep this short… When you start a corporation, you are bringing a new entity to life that is separate and distinct from it’s owners. This is true even if there is only a single owner. When your customers buy from your corporation, they are not buying from you personally. [...]

How to Excel? Keep your Promises…

Rob Northrup — Tue, 12 May 2009 13:43:11 +0000

Most people don’t do what they say they will do. This puts them in a huge hole credibility-wise with their customers and associates. They create every excuse imaginable, often fabricating an excuse takes more effort than just doing what we say we’ll do. This is very simple behavior to correct… Step One. Only make commitments you plan to keep. Step Two. Write [...]

Star Trek Rocked…Celebrity Apprentice Didn’t

Rob Northrup — Mon, 11 May 2009 16:35:32 +0000

A little detour into entertainment… I went and saw Star Trek with my 13-year old son yesterday and it was great fun. And it stayed very true to the series as well… For me, this was kind of like watching the last Star Wars episode (Revenge of the Sith) as the last half hour or so [...]

Backup (and Cleanout) Your Email Files

Rob Northrup — Thu, 07 May 2009 22:26:46 +0000

Is your Email system a valuable business asset? You bet… For many business people, the information contained in their email system is one of the most PRICELESS things they have. It has records of conversations, most likely information about orders and project, as well as travel info and support material that could come in handy. We [...]
