still make a profit. Now is the time to pivot
and reset.
• Consider restructuring: Set up your business
in the right entity and state. Mistakes in
formation or taxation can have a lasting negative
impact on business growth and viability.
Before starting a new business, consider the
best structure for asset protection and tax
minimization. For example, a limited liability
company (LLC) gives business owners time
to operate at a loss for the first few months
and write off the loss on their individual 1040
forms against other forms of income. There are
different entity funding options with protection
ramifications.
• Utilize Privacy Shield Protection by creating
anonymity with trusts.
COVID-19 has shown that many businesses
aren’t prepared for worst-case scenarios and
make common mistakes that can affect their
ability to grow and borrow money. If approached
strategically, small- to medium-sized businesses
can take this time to implement changes and
help their operations succeed and thrive. •

make a big difference. We all may not be
employed right now. We may not be back
to our regular routine. But, all of us have a
vocation to work at. We have a job to do. We
can get out and serve our families, friends,
neighbors and our community by simply
showing respect for each other. In these crazy
times, there are people all around us who
could use someone to talk with. Don’t get
trampled by the onslaught of negative news.
Don’t get angry over things going on that
you can not control. Know that God loves
you. Know that He is still in charge of all
things. “Even though we walk through the
valley of the shadow of death”, the Lord is
our Shepherd. The key word in that Psalm
23 verse is “through”. That means that there
is a destination. That means we are moving
on. What ever we are faced with, God will
get us through it. Our destination might
be a new, different normal, or it might be
a mansion in heaven. With this reassuring
comfort, we can be happy in the midst of
struggle and uncertainty. Have a cold one
and relax. Who cares if the world is falling
apart, as long as we have a cold one and
each other, life is good.
Stale Beer
This is the worst news that I have heard
concerning our recent lockdown. Can you
image all of the cold ones that have to be
thrown away? This is from Bloomberg News.
“Millions of Gallons of Stale Beer Is One
Hangover From Lockdown” By Naureen S
Malik. “In the concert halls, stadiums and
bars across the U.S. that have fallen silent
during the coronavirus pandemic, an unusual
problem has emerged: what to do with the vast
quantity of beer that’s gone past its sell-by
date. In March, even before the lockdowns
became widespread, about 10 million gallons
of beer held by retailers had already expired,
according to estimates from the National Beer
Wholesalers Association. As thousands of
kegs are now being returned to distributors
daily, Vanguard Renewables in Wellesley,
Massachusetts, is among companies seeking
to make use of it by turning the beverage
into natural gas for electricity generation.
Others will use it to make hand sanitizer,
but a great deal of the beer will simply be
decanted and dumped.
“This is a tsunami of kegs,” said John Hanselman,
chief executive officer of Vanguard,
which will take about 60,000 gallons a week
to feed expired beer to micro-organisms in
biodigestors that release methane, the primary
component of natural gas. Coping with a
waste of beer is just one of the many unforeseen
knock-on effects of pandemic-related
lockdowns that have shut down swathes of
the global economy.” Wow! What a waste!

“One of the greatest feelings in the world is knowing that we as individuals can make
a difference. Ending hunger in America is a goal that is literally within our grasp.”
