Check whether my business is actually real on paper yet

What's genuinely done versus what you've been avoiding, and what to lead with next.

What to ask

Let's do my two-week review. Go through my first two weeks with me: what I learned from real people, and whether the business is real on paper yet — name, structure, filing, EIN, licenses. Tell me what's genuinely done versus what I've been avoiding, and what week three should lead with.
