My “brilliant” business setup

I didn’t plan some kind of smart business setup. It happened mostly by default that I now have a US company, a Florida LLC, for investments. It is the company I use for my writing, content creation, and publishing business. I also have a Dominican Republic company — an SRL, with my business partner Raysa Suarez, and she has continued running a real estate brokerage in Santo Domingo. Now, during January and most of February, I was in Santo Domingo before going to Las Terrenas.

Generating leads

It is quite fun to help generate leads again and work by referral. It is reminiscent of when we first started out in 2006–2007. Keeping it simple now, just with a business address. Working from home and with meetings at nearby coffee shops. It is nice. She works very hard with it, though, and can make a good living. She specializes in commercial space and land for development in and around Santo Domingo. I am going to help generate office and industrial space leads like I did before. She was always a good listing agent. I would help foreign companies looking for commercial space.

“Get a job.” Well, now, I will just write and travel.
