Start Your Business Without the $5K Attorney Bill

Most people don't fail because their idea was bad.
They fail because the process is a maze.

I spent 200 hours helping someone navigate that maze - from zero to a thriving practice in 20 months. Now I'm documenting that playbook while building my own path out of corporate. OpenChamber is the guide I wish we'd had.

Currently building for healthcare professionals, service businesses, and consultants.

Starting a business shouldn’t feel like punishment.

You decide to launch.
You’re excited. Motivated. Ready.Then reality hits:

  • "Should I form an LLC or Sole Proprietorship?"

  • Which licenses do I actually need?

  • "How am I going to get all this done?"

  • "Why does the county website look like it was built in 1997?"

  • "What's the right sequence so I don't screw up my taxes?"

You bounce between:

  • Government sites with broken links

  • 47-page PDFs written in legalese

  • Reddit threads with contradicting advice

  • Attorneys who want $3,500 just to talk

Meanwhile, your excitement turns into confusion.
Your momentum dies.

Most businesses never make it past this stage.
Not because the idea was bad.
Because the system was built for compliance, not clarity.

We Turn the Maze Into a Roadmap

OpenChamber guides you through the exact steps, in order:

  • what you want to do, and

  • where you are doing it.

For your business type, in your state:

  • Choose the right structure (LLC, sole prop, etc.)

  • Get the correct licenses (federal, state, county)

  • Handle the operational setup (EIN, bank account, insurance)

  • Connect with the right vendors (bookkeeping, payments, tools)

  • Launch with confidence (because you followed the actual steps)

Each step includes:

  • Plain-language explanations (no legalese)

  • Direct links to the right forms

  • Realistic timelines and costs

  • What to do, when to do it, why it matters

This isn't legal advice. This is the 90% of information that's currently scattered across the internet, organized into a clear path.

Stop waiting for permission. Your first step starts here.

Built by Someone in the Middle of It

After 30 years in corporate, I'm at my own inflection point.

I spent 200+ hours over 20 months helping someone build a successful practice from scratch. Not because it's complicated - because the information is scattered.

  • Every license requirement was publicly available.

  • Every vendor decision had reviews online.

  • Every form was downloadable.

It just took 200 hours to find it all, verify it, and put it in the right order.
That shouldn't be necessary. So I documented everything.

That playbook shouldn't live in my notes.

So I'm building OpenChamber - for you, for me, for anyone ready to own their path.

If you're building while still employed...
If you're navigating a career transition...
If you're tired of climbing someone else's ladder...

...You're in the right place.

The world is shifting. Build Your Own Path.

For decades, we were told that the safe path was:

  • Get a job

  • Be loyal

  • Retire with a pension

Today?

  • Companies lay off high performers to hit quarterly numbers

  • Remote workers are forced back to offices

  • Inflation outpaces raises

  • Promotions go to the politically visible, not the competent

You can spend your life building someone else’s dream…
        …or you can build your own.

Not by quitting tomorrow.
Not by taking reckless risks.
But by building optionality, one step at a time.

That's what OpenChamber is: your optionality playbook.
