When Your Business Starts Attracting the Wrong Customers: An Honest Conversation for Entrepreneurs
I dare you to pause for a moment and think back over the last 90 days. Not your likes. Not your followers. Not your engagement. Think about the real conversations you’ve had with potential clients and customers. Have you heard things like: “I’m broke right now.” “I’m struggling.” “I’m trying to save my home.” “I don’t have any money.” “Do you have a sale coming?” “Is there a discount code?” “I’m not sure if this is right for me.” “I’m waiting until next month.” “I’m waiting u
Do You Have to Own Real Estate in the First Year to Start a REIT?
Separating IRS Code From Internet Misinformation In recent months, I have seen an increasing number of comments, messages, and posts circulating online claiming that a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) must immediately own real estate, have 100 shareholders, and meet every operational test in its very first year in order to be valid. This is not only misleading — it reflects a misunderstanding of how REITs are structured under U.S. tax law and how sophisticated entities ar
HOW CORPORATIONS REALLY OPERATE
There is major confusion online about whether companies can legally do business with other companies they own — and whether forming in another state automatically makes a company “foreign.”
This in-depth article breaks down how corporations actually operate, how B2B transactions between related companies work, and the real difference between domestic vs. foreign entities.
Backed by IRS publications, case law, SEC filings, and real corporate examples including Amazon, FedEx,
PROVE IT - Why Proof Matters More Than Opinions
The documented path to a fully corporate AmEx card with no personal guarantee. Before you believe people on the internet — make them prove it. Not because you’re trying to argue. Not because you’re trying to be right. Not because you’re trying to go viral. But because opinions don’t change lives — proof does. Before you believe what someone says a corporation can or cannot do… Before you trust definitions pulled from Google… Before you accept ChatGPT definitions with no real-
Should You Offer Payment Plans in Your Business?
A Real-World Scenario Every Business Owner Should Think Through Payment plans are often offered with good intentions. They make services more accessible. They help clients move forward sooner. They feel like the “right” thing to do—especially when someone is motivated but doesn’t have all the funds upfront. But what many business owners don’t fully think through is this: What happens when circumstances change months later? This blog isn’t about blaming a client. It isn’t abou
Buyer’s Remorse in Business: A Teachable Moment for Both Consumers and Business Owners
Buyer’s remorse is not a failure. It’s a moment of clarity—and when handled correctly, it becomes a turning point instead of a setback. In business, buyer’s remorse doesn’t just affect the person who purchased something. It affects the business owner , the relationship , and the systems behind the transaction. This conversation matters on both sides . Part I: For the Consumer — Understanding What You’re Feeling If you’re experiencing buyer’s remorse right now, take a breath.
2026: Unlearning to Relearn — Setting the Standard, Not the Resolution
This Is Not a New Year’s Resolution. This Is a Reset. January 1, 2026 is not magic. It is not a finish line. It is not a miracle date. And it is not the reason your life or business will change. What can change — if you allow it — is how you think, how you operate, and the standards you hold yourself to . This year, we are not talking about resolutions . We are talking about standards . Because resolutions are optional. Standards are enforced. Where Did “New Year’s” Even Com
The Lie of “Just Start an LLC” — And Why No One Explains the Rest
If you ask ten people how to start a business, nine of them will give you the same answer: “Just start an LLC.” It sounds simple. It sounds safe. It sounds responsible. And that’s exactly why it’s misleading. Not because an LLC is illegal or useless—but because it has been oversimplified, overmarketed, and misunderstood to the point where most business owners think they’re building a business… when they’re really just filing paperwork. This isn’t an anti-LLC article. This is
The Contractor Lesson Every Business Owner Eventually Learns (And Why Systems Matter More Than Trust)
This blog isn’t easy to write — but it’s necessary. It isn’t written from a place of embarrassment. It’s written from a place of responsibility. I believe in transparency. I believe in accountability. And most importantly, I believe that business lessons only matter if we’re willing to teach them in real time, not just after everything looks perfect . Recently, MAC Enterprise Consulting encountered a situation involving a contractor that exposed an important reality of runn
