(instant information at our fingertips, am I right?)⁣ 👩🏽‍💻 ⁣ But when it comes to important matters that have to do with my businesses, Google is just a starting point.⁣ ⁣ When I need ACTION to be taken & real RESULTS to be achieved, I ALWAYS turn to a professional.⁣ ⁣ 💥The same should go for your business when it comes to your legal foundation.⁣ ⁣ Leaving your business unprotected with weak, unenforceable contracts & your brand unprotected & vulnerable to infringement because you DON’T EVEN OWN IT is a no-no.⁣ ⁣ Yes, I just said ‘no-no.’⁣ ⁣ Because it’s a HELL NO-NO from me if we’re talking about expensive legal problems, serious uncertainty, & a major lack of confidence in your business & legal foundation.⁣ ⁣ ➡️ Ready to take action & protect the business you’re working so hard to build? DM me so we can talk about your brand protection strategy. 🔐
Instagram post 2180346561795362277_4156345182 This is a photo of me accepting the award for Entrepreneur of the Year in 2018 🏆⁣ ⁣ Here’s what most people didn’t know at the time...⁣ ⁣ ...I was just a few months pregnant 🤰🏽 & hadn’t told anybody outside of my family⁣ ⁣ ...I was less than 2 years into my business⁣ ⁣ ...I was anxious about what motherhood & maternity leave would mean for my law firm ⁣ ...I was afraid to ask others for help 🤦🏽‍♀️⁣ ⁣ I was determined to take time off to be with my child, & I did. I admit that I lost a lot of momentum & that it was a time filled with lots uncertainty...⁣ ⁣ ➡️But here I am now, a full year later➡️⁣ ⁣ ... I took over 2 months maternity leave and did ZERO work 🙅🏽‍♀️⁣ ⁣ ...I’m a proud mother of a loving baby boy 👶🏽⁣ ⁣ ...I gained MUCH needed clarity during my maternity leave⁣ ⁣ ...I’ve restructured my firm & my service offerings to better serve my dream clients ✨⁣ ⁣ ...I’m serving the most incredible people & supporting them in building bulletproof brands💪🏽⁣ ⁣ ...I still struggle, but I’ve learned to delegate, ask for help, & accept help from others 🤝⁣ ⁣ 💥Y’all...Gaining this clarity has been SO VALUABLE in my business.⁣ ⁣ I was able to identify who I truly LOVE working with, who I want to support to no end, & how I can best help online entrepreneurs.⁣ ⁣ As business owners, we have so much to balance & life doesn’t stop just because we’ve got businesses to run.⁣ ⁣ We can’t do it all.⁣ ✋🏽 ⁣ Having a support system in place whether that’s your partner, biz bestie, accountant, coach, VA, SMM, or your child’s caretaker, completely transforms your business & well being.⁣ ⁣ I love my team 💙 You know who you are.⁣ ⁣ Tag the person you couldn’t do this crazy thing called entrepreneurship without 💙
Instagram post 2180210668175957394_4156345182 Some coaches really just suck.⁣ ⁣ 💭Imagine this: Your signature program is going AMAZINGGGGG. People are raving about it & experiencing huge, life-changing transformations.⁣ ⁣ Community on point 👯‍♀️⁣ Content on point💡⁣ & the NAME👏🏽IS👏🏽ON👏🏽POINT👏🏽🔥⁣ ⁣ Then you discover that another coach in your industry has launched a similar program...⁣ ⁣ Aaaaand it has the same name as yours 😟⁣ ⁣ Now, ideally this other coach isn’t harming your rep by scamming students...⁣ ⁣ But what if they are?⁣ ⁣ Are you protecting your reputation?⁣ ⁣ 🛑 Anytime you find someone using your brand, program, or course name, you’ve got to put a stop to it IMMEDIATELY.🛑⁣ ⁣ It’s the only way to preserve your brand & reputation.⁣ ⁣ And the ONLY WAY way to have the POWER to do that is if you own the trademark registration.®️⁣ ⁣ Did you know that you could own the exclusive rights to the name of your program?⁣ ⁣ The question is, WHY don’t you?⁣ ⁣ Without it, you run the risk of somebody else ripping off your entire brand.⁣ ⁣ It’s something that happens every day.⁣ ⁣ People are in my inbox constantly, frantic, panicking, desperate ☹️⁣ ⁣ They just came across another coach selling a program exactly like their’s- the same name, the same modules, even the same bonuses.⁣ ⁣ And because they don’t own their trademark, they’re pretty much screwed.⁣ ⁣ Can you imagine how hard they’re kicking themselves right now?⁣ 🤦🏽‍♀️ ⁣ How heartbroken they must be?⁣ 😓 ⁣ Could you imagine being in their place?⁣ ⁣ The good news is...⁣ ⁣ It’s all preventable.⁣ ⁣ Are you done with being unprotected & vulnerable? Ready to protect your business?⁣ ⁣ If so, send me a DM with the 🔐 emoji! Let’s talk about protecting your brand 💪🏽

Instagram post 2175876750618486965_4156345182 🙅🏽‍♀️ “I DON’T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE LEGAL STUFF!” 🙅🏽‍♀️⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣I hear you.⁣ ⁣⁣ &⁣ You know what? I get it.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ You’re busy creating, serving, & enjoying.⁣ Who has time to sweat the legal stuff?⁣ Not you.⁣ 🤷🏽‍♀️⁣ ⁣⁣ The thing is, if you are in business,⁣ YOU NEED A LAWYER.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ No discussion there – it’s a fact of business.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It’s one of those things you get to⁣ take care of when you are building a⁣ kickass brand, community, & business💰⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The question is, how do I know if⁣ a particular lawyer is right for me?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Here are a few tips 👇🏽⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ➡️ FIND SOMEBODY THAT SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE⁣⁣ I don’t mean your literal mother tongue⁣ (while that is important too, lol) I mean find⁣ somebody that understands your business,⁣ your industry, YOUR WORLD.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ A lawyer with *zero* understanding of the⁣ internet, social media, digital marketing, etc.⁣ is not going to understand wtf you’re talking⁣ about, much less how to advise and support⁣ you in protecting your brand⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ➡️ READ REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS⁣⁣ Hearing from others that have worked with⁣ the lawyer can give you a great idea of what⁣ it’s like to work with that particular lawyer &⁣ their support style. Plus, you can get familiar⁣ with the type of results that lawyer is⁣ capable of helping you achieve.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ✨ SWIPE to hear from some of my incredible clients 🤩⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ➡️ SCOPE OUT THEIR SERVICES⁣⁣ If you have an idea of the services you’re⁣ in need of to protect your business & brand,⁣ then this is pretty straight forward. If you’re⁣ not, then a consultation with a business⁣ lawyer that speaks your language & has⁣ stellar reviews can help you understand⁣ what services you need.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣-⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Listen, working with a lawyer to protect⁣ your business doesn’t have to be a scary,⁣ intimidating process. 😱🙅🏽‍♀️⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🔐 When you hire a lawyer, you’re⁣ essentially unloading your issues onto⁣ someone who is stepping into your shoes &⁣ managing the entire situation on your behalf.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 💪🏽 It is an empowering step in your⁣ business’ development & can give you so⁣ much confidence in your business.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🙋🏽‍♀️ Am I speaking your language?⁣ If so, send me a DM so we can connect 👯‍♀️
