“Is this legal?” A common question that entrepreneurs ask themselves, but what typically happens next is what disturbs me. Usually nothing or a Google search…because most business owners either don’t have the excess funds to hire a lawyer or they don’t want to spend that cash. This is where you can get yourself into BIG trouble, which can end up costing you your entire business! I remember thinking in my first two years of business that I should probably consult with an attorney, but I had some false belief that attorneys were only for big companies and people making major cash. Thankfully I had someone warn me and educate me early on before I got my self into trouble. People want to focus on the fun and sexy side of being a #girlboss and ignore the serious adulting actions that are required to operate and grow a business…you can take that route if you choose. Just know it comes with a BIG FAT risk. Take a half-hour today and educate yourself of when to hire an attorney and what you need one for,  in today’s podcast episode. I brought on Nicole Oden a California based attorney who helps online business owners protect themselves with her easy to use legal templates. After receiving countless questions from other online entrepreneurs who were just so overwhelmed with legal, she pivoted in her coaching to offer legal templates to take the expense and overwhelm out of the process for them. Because while you don’t have to devote all your time, energy, and money to addressing legal issues, as an entrepreneur you do have to become familiar with the law.  You can connect with Nicole here: My legal templates can be found at nicolecherioden.com/legal-shop/ My social media channels are:  Instagram: www.instagram.com/nicolecherioden Facebook: www.facebook.com/nicolecheriodenlegaltemplates Pinterest: www.pinterest.com/nicolecherioden Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/nicole-cheri-oden Freebie: nicolecherioden.com/legal-email/ Welcome to ProjectME the Podcast with your host Tiffany Carter, who takes the mystery out of making BIG money.
