How to Win Your Sweetheart With a Love Song

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007

Music is the rarest form of art which tender your nerves and relaxes you in a way that your sense and sensibility up springs and follow the vibes of your heart.

“When you say nothing at all…” yes, she needs you and her quest for true love ends with you. These true thoughts are not to be passed on just like fleeting moments, these fragile emotions truly brings the greatest joy in your soul when you triumph with a unforgettable smile on her face. The most appealing factor for this song is the melodious tone and the lingering effect of it. If she once hears it she will not forget and the joy will be twice when you will present it in a way that your actions will broadcast like a video whenever she will close her eyes. Ronan Keating’s this musical note is one of the most lovely songs of love and is a all time favorite of all the lovers in the world.

“Everything I do I do it for you…” these words do not come so easily. You might love somebody as much as no one did ever before but those holy words to express the complete dedication are not easy to utter. The prophet has said “I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love.” In front of this soulless devotion everything under the sun becomes futile. It is not about loving someone but about loving yourself because you cannot live without his or her love. Letting your beloved know about your truest feelings is best possible through a favorite love note like this.

“Nothing gonna change my love for you…” love and life are almost synonymous for those who are truly in love. Some immortal love songs are reflections, which remind you that the feelings are indebted in them are just the same as the feelings you share. These immortal notes are really blessed by the greatest power of creativity and dedication. These songs are life time favorites and can only be created once and will leave a lingering effect for ever. Glenn Medeiros sang this everlasting song around1987 and from then it is a all time hit till date.

“As long as you love me…” when you love someone it hardly matters what is his or her name, address, or any previous details about the person. Love is blind and sometimes deaf too. So falling in love is the most important thing. Not inquiring the background. Because love is such an ocean where as much as one sinks the layers and levels of newness and romance are evolved again and again. After forty years staying together one may find the rarest thing which one might recognize for the first time and at the same time that discovery may bring the unearthly, extremely beautiful feeling. If you really love your sweetheart and want her to love you the same let her listen to this sweet but charming note of Backstreet Boys.

“ Power of love…” when the trust factor works to its height, it works utmost to show the power hidden in love. There are several other expectations from a long term relationship but the most powerful one and the most significant one is the power of trust which grows from loving and caring somebody. That is why this is regarded as the most powerful relationship amongst all in the universe. Celin Dion’s this note is regarded as one of the most strong expressions ever produced about the strength and longing.

Sacred Love - Why are You Single?

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

Why are you single?

From the age of 14, being single is unnatural. From that age, nature want us, in some form or other, to share our life with a significant other. Be it the boy around the corner or the girl of your dreams, being double is normal, being single takes an effort.

Nature does not define relationships, we do. We load them with our own brand of “should” and in doing so bring the whole of our being forward into the moment of love. We are not always living in accordance with nature, we normally live in accordance with the laws and rules, values and beliefs that we have accumulated.

Now we can understand why some people are single and some people are not. It has nothing to do with nature. If nature (call this God) had her way, we’d all be with our partners and living according to her laws, at the border of chaos and order.

But we don’t do this. Our ambitions for our careers, our desires for a certain style of life, our relationships with extended family and our values and beliefs all contrive to cause us to live unique lives. The consequence of which, is our relationship.

Sustained defiance of natures laws is not possible without repercussion. Illness, depression, mental exhaustion and stress are all derived from the sustained conflict between our unique lives and natures law. We think we can play God, but really, we are pawns in a game. We are loved universally, and to reject that, on the basis of a pursuit of uniqueness, will cause a great disharmony.

For 30 years now I have worked as a change agent. The agent of change has a challenging role. People ask for advice, but if that advice does not fit with their “unique live” then it is called bad advice. So, when a couple approach me, and one partner is filled with hate and rage at herself, then she will inevitably shift that hate and rage to me.

In business it’s the same. I remember being asked to present a talk to 150 partners of one of the worlds leading accounting firms. I introduced the first law of nature and after only 10 minutes had serious challenges from the audience. I was attacked personally. It seems that the “unique self” that this accounting firm wanted to promote was one that had more harmony that angst.

When an office promotes peace, and if nature grows at the border of chaos and order, where does the chaos go, if it is not welcome at the office? It goes home. And in all their studies on corporate culture and stress management, this firm had never included the domestic circumstances of their employees. Dumbest thing I ever heard, isolating a person and measuring them in the work place alone. We agreed to disagree, and as a change agent, I knew when I was beat.

In love, single people are like this office. They have very strong sense of their “unique self” they have created a series of values, ideals and expectations which, are without doubt, the greatest obstacle to relationship. I want this, I want it like that, I want it to look like this, I want it to be like that. These wants and aspirations are what separates us from nature, we begin to play God, and in doing so, potentially reject the perfection of a great relationship.

Here are a few typical “uniqueness” that drive people into an argument with nature.

1. The one. “I am looking for the one” – nature has no “the one” she has a now, a perfect now, a learning space, a growth space, an opportunity for you to grow and experience something. Searching for “the one” focuses us on long term outcomes, and this destroys the beauty of what is.

2. The Past. “I don’t want that again” – Nature evolves, she evolves so as to incorporate the past into the future. Therefore, she is not afraid of the past repeating itself, because the definition of evolving, is to embrace the past, learn from it, and if it happens again (which it will) be able to deal with it better than the first time. Being stuck in the past is running from it.

3. Self Improvement. “When I am ready, love will come” This is an evolving rationalization which sets in place a chain of thoughts that is guaranteed to sabotage any relationship. Unless you see that you are ready now, with all your warts and foibles, and busyness and craziness, then you will never be ready. Life doesn’t go in straight lines. You need to see, that love sits at the middle of a turbulence of experience and this is called life. Unless you see yourself worthy of love as you are, then you will never sustain the relationship you are born for.

4. Avoidance. “I just don’t have time” – fear acts in many ways but the net result is avoidance. I hear this all the time. It’s really ridiculous because nature doesn’t select the environment for love. You can fall in love working, running, swimming, at the movies. So “I just don’t have time” is a lie. “I am afraid” is more the truth.

5. Self Important. “It doesn’t feel right” – when we cause the most important person on earth, to be ourselves, then, there can never be a relationship. If we become yogis who want to feel good in our bodies, spiritual seekers wanting to feel good in our heart, business leaders wanting to feel good in our self confidence, family leaders wanting to feel good in our sense of worth, we are self obsessed and no love can thrive in such a “unique self”

The way around all this is explained in my New book, “Sacred Love, the Honeymoon that lasts forever”.

Sacred Love - Finding Love - The First Step

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

The first step to finding and keeping love – stillness

When we declare our love for someone, we really mean, I am at peace with you. At peace means I lack any emotional negativity and therefore, I let down my guard.

When we let down our guard to another person, it means we are at peace with them. There is no need for defense or protection against them. We can call it trust, but it goes beyond that. In love means, this person as entered your being, beyond the guardians that exist in your mind, deep into the recesses of your being.

If we had no fear, we could fall in love with many people easily. But we do have fear and so, we cannot fall in love easily. So the science of falling in love comes from the science of overcoming fear.

Here, I am not talking about the fear we experience on a roller coaster, stimulated by a sense of physical endangerment. But the experience of the body to fear is exactly the same. The body does not, in the end, know the cause or source of the danger, it reacts with adrenalin and causes safety.

If you burn yourself on a stove, there is a healthy fear of heat. You will not put you hand near a flame again without that memory causing caution. Many times, that fear of flame, causes over caution and in doing that, can actually drive over reaction and in fact cause the very thing that the fear was meant to protect.

In love it is the same. Sometimes things happen in the past to cause a healthy fear. But we over react to those things and in doing so cause them to happen. If someone betrayed your trust (a parent or lover) then your fear of being betrayed will cause you caution, and that caution is a form of suspicion, and that suspicion causes your lover to withhold information and that leads to them doing what you fear.

Fear is a mental perception. Fear is an emotion that can become automatic, but was originally driven by some form of belief. When we lack trust in our parents, we fear loosing control. When we fear loosing control we fear anything that takes us into places we cannot escape from. Claustrophobia, fear of flying, open relationships, and obsession with business success result. What we are really saying, but with an automated response, is that “I have no trust, and therefore I have no peace with the world” this person will look for a relationship that overcomes these fears and in doing so, sabotage it.

Relationships are not designed to overcome fears, actually they bring them out. So, if like me, your mother died when you were young, you’d probably have a fear of people leaving you. And because of that, be afraid that someone would steal your partner. So the more you fell in love, the more you feared and then the more likely you’d be to run away, thinking the one you loved was going to leave you anyway.

Overcoming fears, means peace of mind. In my own circumstance, it was like pealing layers off an onion. I would peal off a belief that was driving some mental disturbance, fear, and think I was done. A month or so later the disturbance would return, I would think I had failed, and go back to that same fear. But it was gone. The layer had been removed, and now, I was in a new place, same fear at the root, different experience on the surface.

The pealing away of these fear layers is a laborious job. They are all mental, so the physical jumping through hoops leaves us where we started. We must jump through mental hoops to deal with mental problems that cause physical fears. This is the journey of spirituality.

But for me, if I could offer people a gift it would be to peel many many layers of this onion as fast as possible. To get down to the core of love and get through the mental disturbances to the peace that can make love last. This is the gift of knowing the universal laws. You get the formulae that really, at the end of the day, explains everything.

Putting order in chaos, eliminates fear. Fear comes from false reality. Love comes from reality. But reality is subjective for most people. They think that what they think and feel is real. It is not. What we think and feel is not real, it is our perception. Those perceptions are built on experiences which in themselves are subjective. The way we interpreted the past, causes the way we translate the present, and the way we translate the present causes the future. Change your perceptions, change your life.

If you play cricket by any other rules than cricket, you’ll be sadly disappointed. If you play business by any other rules than those of business, you’ll go broke. And if you play love by any other rules than the rules of love, you’ll be single.

Learn the rules of love. These are very unique.

Sacred Love - Finding True Love

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

There are two layers to life, work and love. One is above the surface and one is below. Above the surface is how you look, how you feel, how you act, how you manifest your life in hard goods and tangible reality. It is important.

Below the surface there is another world. It is a world of sensations, emotions, moods and connections. No one sees this world. Your “above the surface” world is all people see. To detect what is below the surface, we must use our intuition. This intuition is possessed by everyone but understood by few, and trusted by even fewer.

The world above causes the world below. Many people confuse this. The spiritual seeker might say that if I meditate, I will achieve a good life. But this is false reality. If we live a good life, we will meditate. The above causes the below. “As above, So below”

The keys that cause our world above to succeed are the diametrically opposite rules to the ones that cause success below. The ego – drive, attachment, pride, lust, ambition, emotion give us victory above the surface while detachment, love, compassion and contentment (not wanting or desiring) create victory below. A fulfilled ego, often gives the space in life for the experience below the surface to be witnessed.

One woman came to me for a consult. She was meditating daily in order to find the inner space of love and peace. She was having an affair behind her husbands back, so her mind and heart were very disturbed during the day. She was achieving nice peace in her meditation but not so nice during her day.

She was not wrong or bad, she was simply meditating for the wrong reason and on the wrong topic. Inner peace comes from good living and compassion not from meditation. No meditation can counteract the disturbance that comes from self serving and conflicting values in everyday life. Meditation is different to this. It is, ultimately, about other, rather than self.

Meditation is simply a reminder. It reminds us, that before we do all these things in the day, we are something special anyway. Meditation can knock some of the fear and anxiety out of our lives by reminding us that we are, even without all the surface attachments and adornments, worthy of love. Meditation replaces our parents love, with universal love, when the time is right.

So, please be careful. The purpose of religious values is to give us some sense of outer peace, a moral code, a sense of alignment between what we do, and what we value. With such a life management process, the inner world comes to life. The two worlds one above the surface and one below, are really interconnected.

Loving acts of generosity, kindness and care lead to an outer harmony. Then the life below the surface can be opened. The role of meditation is to connect the two. There is nothing you need to do to improve the world below the surface. It already exists in absolute perfection. This is the very definition and purpose of spirituality. To discover that perfection exists already.

The world above the surface, the ego and the material experience of life, drives you to growth because it destroys the awareness of that perfection below the surface. We keep coming back to the world below, because the world above becomes disturbed. We loose touch with our inner peace, our inner harmony, not because we have not meditated enough, but because we have judged ourselves above the surface. Broken our own code of worthiness.

Finding true love comes from the inner world, that which exists below the surface. True love bypasses all the outer realms of our lives, sneaks in under the radar, and enters us. However, to sustain it, our outer world, above the surface, must be aligned.

Meditation connects you to love. This is the ultimate end. But if your outer world is corrupted, thoughts are judgemental, ideas are stuck, emotions are out of control, stresses are not worked through, materials are not seen as decorations then, love cannot survive. Finding true love requires the skill to become open and this is the key we so struggle to hold.

Open? The implication is perfect and beautiful. It means love is there, beneath the surface, crowded and clouded by the life we choose above the surface. To become open to love therefore means to arrange our outer world in such a way that it never, ever becomes a blockage? How?

Is It Better to Have Loved than Not at All?

Friday, August 24th, 2007

One of my friends, Gwenllian, asked me recently whether there was any truth in Tennyson’s famous quote, “It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” I didn’t even have to think about that one because the answer was crystal clear: Love conquers all. It’s at the heart of our existence, so how can we live without loving? For me there is no doubt that Love is the only influence on our life which makes it worth living.

Improved choices, in the quality and standard of living, have freed the modern generation of women from having to depend on their male counterparts. People who are hurt, particularly men, also become fearful of new relationships. Put the two together and you have an awful lot of people who prefer to boast about the benefits of the single life, while dying with loneliness inside, instead of actively encouraging potential partners for mutual enjoyment. They fear ‘getting hurt’ so much, they avoid one another like the plague, becoming hardened, loveless, unattractive people in the process. Yet life consists of both pain and love, manifested through death and rebirth, being two sides of the same coin. We cannot have one without the other other. The love is there to nourish and sustain us while the pain helps us to develop our experiences and to face our challenges with resilience and new knowledge. Take both of those opportunities away and we are like fossilised beings in a deepening rut, not getting hurt, but not being loved either, cynical in our expectation of the world while judging every one with our own negativity.

However, the results of a survey carried out in Denmark a couple months ago should be a little worrying for single people. It examined hundreds of heart disease patients and came to the sorry conclusion that people living on their own were twice as likely to have serious heart disease. Doctors found the risk was even higher among older, single people over 50. In fact, among the single men in the study, two-thirds of them had some kind of heart disease compared to only one-third of both women and those in relationships. The message was clear and unequivocal: any kind of relationship and connection with someone is good for us. According to the research leader, “Age is of course a risk factor, and when you combine that with living alone you have a group in the population at a very high risk.”

Emotional Attachment

Human beings are not meant to be on their own. We realise our existence, identity, usefulness, worth, significance and purpose through others. Left on our own without any other life form for very long periods we would go mad. Our emotional health is the most important to a long, satisfying, healthy life, and the love and affection from others is crucial in that respect. What keeps people from committing to relationships is their fear of being hurt again, their need for perfection in potential partners (disregarding their own imperfections!) and a desire to control their relationship by burdening it with expectations of long term bliss. Yet the potential soulmate is probably there temporarily to guide them through a rocky path (one of the four reasons for our soulmates) and not for any permanent reason.

We get disappointed when the relationship doesn’t work out and, instead of allowing ourself to be surprised and just enjoying what is unfolding with us, we lock ourselves down and keep out another person afterwards who might truly care for us and be quite different. Yet we should be seeing every relationship as an opportunity to learn and to take our development one step closer to the ideal, because we will soon gradually understand what we have to do for our own happiness through the lessons learnt from those short-lived liaisons.

In 2002, soon after I left my marriage, though I was in the worst hurtful period, I unexpectedly fell in love with someone else, chalk and cheese we were. It wasn’t meant to happen, as he was in transition too living apart from his wife, but we did. For two glorious years we had the most amazing time together. Two books have been dedicated to him. I have not, before or since, met anyone remotely like this loving, caring, but fiercely independent man. However, we affected each other so positively, he decided to return home when he realised that I wasn’t ready to settle down again with anyone so soon, and his own fears kept him from considering other options. We were both terribly pained by the parting. But you know what? When I think of him now it is so wonderful because all I can think of is not the hurt which followed, but the incredible time we had.

Temporary Hurt

Many people, after any hurt, just sit and brood on that hurt, cutting off all communication through guilt or pain, instead of giving thanks for the pleasurable time they had, for someone coming into their life to cherish them and keeping the channels open. They vilify ex-partners instead of accepting that the person actually changed them for the better by sending them on their way more experienced and more competent to cope with their life. Any hurt is only ever temporary. As the saying goes, ‘Don’t cry because it is over. Smile because it happened’.

Fear keeps love at bay. Fear of hurt, fear of imperfection, fear of unhappiness, fear of commitment and fear of the consequences lead to fear of love itself. What a terrible way to live a life dominated by fear. One that, in the end, robs us of that life. Having loved and lost, and seeking to love again not only puts fear firmly out of our lives, but also leads to a rich, varied experience of what life is truly about, not to mention making us into more compassionate, lovable and loving individuals.

For me, Tennyson was absolutely right. It IS better to have loved and lost because I will take all those wonderful memories to my grave, of the tremendous love between David* and me, whom I fondly call the ‘love of my life’. I will also take memories of my marriage and the other three men who have been significant in my life so far. If I had sat there judging men for a lot of things, while I searched for my perfect man, I would have missed out on some fantastic love, the inspiration to write two books and the positive self-development which has rapidly followed because I am an entirely different - more loving - person in the process. I give thanks with much grace for the experien

Til Death Do Us Part

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

Last week, I found myself in the middle of two “social” conversations that featured death as the main topic of discussion. One chat involved a friend who is convinced he’ll be dead in seven years or less. If so, it won’t be from natural causes. Even his doctor can’t convince him that his recent bypass surgery was successful—and that he has a better chance of getting hit by a bus in the next few years, than dying of a heart attack. Another conversation involved a friend and her husband wrangling over the terms of their will. First they argued about which would be the first to die, and then they debated the length of time it would take the “survivor” to hook-up with a gold-digger. Both conversations surprised me. Death used to be off-limits (taboo) in social settings. What do you say when someone announces their “imminent” death in seven years? Or when asked which partner you think will outlive the other? In both cases, I mumbled something about getting a drink and made a quick getaway. Perhaps it’s my upbringing, but I’m hard-pressed to find a more negative topic than death—at least none more awkward. Death is inevitable and sneaky. You never know when you’ll enjoy your last sunrise, or your last sunset. A mentor once told me, “From the day you are born, you’re on a journey toward death. It’s what you do in-between birth and death that matters.” That’s my point, exactly. Do we have to talk about it? In public? Apparently, we do.

I decided that if the topic of death were to remain socially acceptable, then I would try to put a positive spin on it—at least within my circle of friends. So I put together a list of 15 things that I would like to do before I meet my maker. Some items are as simple as swimming with dolphins or seeing my favorite rock group in concert one more time. Others are more personal, private, and yes, harder to attain. Like that book I keep threatening to finish, or building that fishing lodge in Colorado. I also had fun with my list. I thought about joining the Mile High Club, and put it near the top of my list—much to my husband’s delight. My intent was to finish my list, print it out and then share it with family and friends. Before I could fire up the printer, my husband started a list of his own. Like mine, his was lighthearted and thoughtful, but much more enlightening. I’m not sure about the Hooter’s Girls at his next birthday party, but I was pleased to see that we both wanted to go on an African photo safari and spend time in a rainforest. Most of all, I was surprised that my husband—not known for his communication skills—expressed himself more on that notepad than he had in all the years I’ve known him. He’s not what you would call a sentimental guy. He’s what you would call a guy’s guy. Hunting, fishing, golf—you know the type. Yet, on his list, he included future grandchildren and how he would teach them to fly-fish. He also thought about my happiness—and how he would let me know how much he loves me. He wrote, “Tell my wife I love her one more time.”

The depth of my husband’s list touched me deeply. I thought of his mother who died last year…and recalled a comment she made a few weeks before her death. She regretted never telling her husband how much she loved him. I never knew my father-in-law, but I thought this was a nice sentiment. My husband, part of the inner-circle, took her comment very much to heart.

In his short “to do” list, my husband outlined his hopes, his dreams, and the life he wished for us, for our family, and for our friends. It wasn’t all about him—or material objects—it was about living life with no regrets. It seems that he had many pent-up emotions. Last year he lost his mother, battled cancer, and simultaneously watched a good friend succumb to a debilitating disease. Writing this list was a welcome (and healthy) outlet—a simple way for a non-communicator to communicate.

Since writing his list, my husband continues to challenge friends and associates to write a similar list. He laughingly tells his buddies about the Hooter Girls and the Mile High Club, but then he reminds them to think about whom, not what, is most important in their lives. “We never know when our last day will be, our last breath, our last word, our last hug, or our last kiss,” he says. “Make each a good one. No regrets, no fear.” He then adds, “Put it in writing so you don’t forget.”

Who knew? After all these years, my husband found his soft voice, and people are listening. We both hope that our friend who thinks that death is at his doorstep will take the time to outline his life…and start living it again. The couple that worried about future gold-diggers is doing fine. They both realized that they are by their partner’s side now, and that’s what matters most.

Well, I guess I better get the phone book out. My husband’s birthday is next month. Should I look under “H” for Hooters or perhaps “D” for Dream on buddy?

Reasons to Buy a House in UK

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007

1. Ownership There is a sense of ownership and belonging.

2. Personal Tastes. You are free to make changes and decorate the house according to your tastes. If you rent, you will be limited in making alterations and decorations.

3. Avoid Paying Rent in Retirement . Buying a house can be seen as an investment for your retirement. If you are able to buy in your 20s and 30s, on a standard mortgage, you will have paid off the debt by the time you retire. Not having to pay rent is a significant financial saving. Buying a house is in some regards like saving for a pension. You are not getting money but you are saving potentially very high rent payments in the future.

4. Capital Gains. The value of your house is likely to increase over the long term. In the post war period the value of housing has increased by more than the rate of inflation. It has also been a better investment than the stock market. There is no guarantee this will occur in the future. However in the long term the housing market is generally seen as a good potential for equity gains.

5. Secure LoansThe value of your house can be used to take out secure loans. If you are short of cash, owning a house gives you a greater range of loans to take out. Usually these loans have a better rate of interest because they are less risky. Many homeowners often take the opportunity to remortgage and withdraw equity from the value of their house. Again this is more financially attractive than taking out other loans.

6. Mortgage Payments will decrease as % of Income . Mortgage interest payments will reduce in value over the course of time, renting will increase with inflation. True mortgage payments will alter with changes in the base rate, but assuming interest rates remain constant then mortgage payments will remain the same, they will not rise with inflation. In the latter part of your mortgage term, your mortgage payments will account for a smaller % of your income. However if you rent, you’re rentable payments will most likely increase with inflation, and possibly more than the rate of inflation.

7. Low Interest Rates. Although interest payments depend upon changes in the base rate, many economists feel that the UK economy is entering a period of low interest rates. This is based on the fact that the economic cycle has become less volatile. Inflation has remained close to the governments target of CPI 2% +/-1 This enables interest rates to remain low, making getting a mortgage more attractive.

8. Rent A Room. If you have a spare room in your house you can rent it out for extra rentable income.

Should Love End on Valentine’s Day?

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

For most couples worldwide, the fourteenth of February is a day to show more affection, renew love vows and be more caring towards their partners. Put it this way, it’s a day in which literally, love is in the atmosphere. It is not uncommon for lovers to spend lots of money in order to show their love for each other.

All over the world, couples visit various romantic spots and go for special shows or events. It generally is a day to express love.

But a major question arises—should expressions of love end on Valentine’s Day? Why can’t the same attitude and feelings of Val’s day be carried over to normal, everyday life?

This is a salient point, which almost all couples need to seriously consider. Love is not a one day affair or event. It is an ongoing process, which should continue to wax stronger and stronger everyday.

Couples need to create more time to spend with each other, make each other feel special and generally endear themselves together everyday, as they did on valentine’s day.
It’s not just about spending money, but also about taking the time to be together and making each other happy.

It’s about doing the simple ordinary everyday chores in a way to make your partner feel special. Acts like opening the car door for her, offering her a seat before you take yours, getting him a simple gift and similar acts of love should continue daily.

Anyone who is seriously in love should seriously consider how he or she could make each day a special day of love. Even long after the euphoria of the Val’s day has gone, each couple can still relive that experience everyday in their home.

And as this is done, the love between them will grow stronger and stronger, and they both will appreciate each other the more.

Everyday could be Valentine’s Day, a day to express love to each other.

Documenting Decisions With Your LLC

Saturday, June 9th, 2007

The limited liability company is a popular business entity choice for small businesses. One reason is the lack of formality, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t document certain decisions.

A limited liability company is a business entity that combines the liability protection of a corporation with the tax flexibility of a partnership. It is specifically designed for use by small businesses. One of the design factors is the lack of formality. Unlike a corporation, the running of the corporation does not require significant documenting in the company records. That being said, you should still go ahead and record certain decisions.

A corporation is required to have an annual meeting and keep minutes of it. Most people assume that a limited liability company does not have to do so. This can be a mistake. An LLC is the product of state law and states tend to pass different legislation. As a result, your state may require you to have an annual meeting even though you are an LLC. Failure to do so could put the legitimacy of your structure at risk.

Any business should make a record of important business decisions. This is true regardless of the type of business entity you are using. Why? Well, it creates a paper trail regarding how business was handled and by whom. This paper trail can save your bacon later on if a dispute arises, particularly if an investor starts questioning decisions.

Documentation is also a huge issue where owners do business with the company. The LLC is supposed to be a separate business entity, unique and independent from the owners in question. That being said, many small businesses often will do business with owners. For example, a business might rent space from one of the investors. This brings up issues of conflict of interest, to wit, is the investor getting a windfall of money? By documenting the decision at the time it occurs and the concurrence of all owners with membership interest, you can avoid disputes down the line.

Finally, documenting important decisions made by the managers of an LLC just makes practical sense. Documenting them means the managers took the time to sit down and actually discuss the decisions being made. In a small business, taking the time to deal with such issues can often help avoid bad choices.
