If the title of this post made you scratch your head a bit…hear me out! I am willing to bet most of you have NEVER thought about how your legal documents can save you money, and even make you MORE money, right?? These are the top three (3) ways you can make you legal documents work for you ASAP! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The moment you hit *publish* on your new website – while a VERY exciting moment in your business and journey as an entrepreneur – is also the moment you begin creating exposure if you do not have the right documents in the footer of your website. For most businesses, the 3 website documents needed are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2.<\/strong> Have a CLEAR, credible, well-written contract that all potential new clients review prior to working with you. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If someone is looking to drop a good chunk of money to work with you, they are probably going to expect a well-organized onboarding process, which includes a well-written contract, presented in an organized way. Put yourself in their shoes: if you were planning to spend 4 or 5 figures on a coach or service provider, would you feel comfortable about the investment if their contract was clearly copied and pasted from other sources, or seems to have been written with another type of business in mind? I see this ALL the time — and personally, I would rethink my investment if a potential coach or mentor sent me a raggedy contract. I would want to be sure the contract was clear on everyone\u2019s obligations, protected me legally, and would help us in the event of a misunderstanding or issue. Plus, it would tell me they took their business seriously, and invested in themselves, as I am about to invest with them! <\/p>\n\n\n\n CLICK HERE<\/a> TO GRAB YOUR LEGAL TEMPLATE BUNDLE! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you know in order to use a legal agreement, you need permission from the attorney who wrote the contract<\/em>, NOT the person who is giving it to you?? So if you\u2019re using a contract given to you by a friend, family member, coach, or something you found online, you need permission from the attorney who wrote that contract in order to legally use it. Without that permission, unfortunately, you could be committing copyright infringement — just like if you were to copy\/paste a blog post from someone else, or swipe a photo from someone else. Although these seem more \u201cwrong\u201d than using a legal contract, it\u2019s actually exactly the same!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure you have the legal right to use any contract you use in connection with your business, AND check with the attorney who drafted the template or specific contract to be sure the contract is meant for your type of business or services. (CLICK HERE<\/a> TO GRAB YOUR CLIENT AGREEMENT) <\/p>\n\n\n\n By having the right documents in place, making sure they apply to YOUR business and services, and confirming you are not accidentally infringing on someone else\u2019s rights by using the documents, you are well on your way to maximizing your savings and profits through your legal documents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Questions?
