The title of this post is especially fitting since it's something I didn't do when I first made my new years resolution. The thing is, while it's not a bad idea to have a Minnesota Residential Remodeler's license, I don't need one. In fact, I can't get one without incorporating.
First of all, even if I was incorporated, I wouldn't need a license until my receipts totaled in the tens of thousands. My receipts are currently $0 since I haven't done work for anyone else and received payment.
Secondly, a license is granted to a corporation, not an individual. Since I don't have any intention of incorporating right now, I'm not in a position to apply for a license.
If I would have checked into this before my first blog posts, I would have come up with a completely different resolution. But...live and learn. The next step is to go back and figure out a new resolution. But before I do that, I need to refine my original steps. What I need to do is make a step zero. Step zero is "Do your homework."
Really, you could roll that into step one. Part of coming up with a goal is to determine the legitimacy of what you're trying to attain. While the idea of getting a residential remodeler's license is not necessarily illegitimate; rather, for certain reasons it is simply not doable for me.
