Should I be an LLC?
Do you know if it's time to become an LLC? Learn if your creative business should be an LLC by answering 13 questions.
Ready to prioritize your legal tasks so you can exponentially grow your business?
When I’m wearing my lawyer hat, one of my favorite conversations is when a client calls because they just got their dream phone call. Everyone’s call is different, it might be major press for their products, a big speaking gig, or a huge licensing deal.
One of the keys to feeling excited in this moment–rather than dread–is having all your legal ducks in a row. Getting your foundation secure before you get this phone call makes this a dance in your socks on your living room floor moment. Rather than an OMG! I have no idea how to make this happen moment.
So before you get your big break it’s important to learn:
- how to prioritize your legal to-do list
- what needs to be on it
- what you can delete for the time being
