In this essential session, Eric Banks, a practicing attorney with over 40 years of legal experience and a certified hypnotist, will walk you through the crucial steps to safeguard your business, reduce personal liability, and set yourself up for long-term success.

From sole proprietorships to LLCs, partnerships to corporations, Eric will explain the pros and cons of each business formation—and how to determine which is right for you. With a clear, approachable style, he’ll share real-world examples, common pitfalls to avoid, and best practices that can save you time, money, and stress down the road.

What You’ll Learn:

Choose the Right Structure: Understand the legal and tax implications of different business formations.

“Don’t just grow your practice—protect it, so it thrives for years to come.”

About Eric Banks

After practicing hypnosis for many years, eight years ago I completed my coursework, passed the certification exam, and become a Certified Consulting Hypnotist. I am a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists, Inc. and my membership number is 61332. The Guild requires the same number of annual Continuing Education Hours to maintain my certification as the Missouri Bar requires to maintain my law license. While I have helped people with weight or stress reduction, confidence building, goal achievement and smoking cessation as part of my training this will never be my niche. My forte is working with other attorneys to help their high value clients and witnesses testify better during interviews, depositions, hearings, mediations, arbitrations and trials.
