i am in the process of staring one...........if you aren't 101% serious then don't bother cos you won't be motivated enough to get things done......

.........sort out the business side of it before you touch the actual music side of it if you know what i mean...............

Step one: 1 Trademark label's name for 10 grand.
Step two: Apply for a tax ID umber since you're fgonna have to start claming income and losses under a K-4 form.
Step three: The end.
