A missing document. A $50K lawsuit. All because one service agreement was never signed.
What Happened
A health and wellness entrepreneur worked with a client—without ever signing a contract. When the relationship soured, they got hit with a lawsuit for over $50,000… and had no signed agreement to back them up.
Why It Matters
In the eyes of the law, the contract is king. Without a written agreement, expectations become fuzzy, IP ownership is unclear, and legal protections vanish.
The Expensive Lesson
Instead of showing a signed agreement and ending the issue instantly, the entrepreneur now has to defend themselves in court—costing time, money, and peace of mind.
What Would’ve Prevented It
A simple, customized, industry-specific service agreement. Signed at the start. That’s it.
Key Takeaways
✔️ No contract = no clarity if things go wrong
✔️ Lawsuits are 10x more expensive than proactive legal setup
✔️ Without a signed agreement, legal outcomes become 50/50 gambles
✔️ Legal protection starts with ONE document, not court
🎧 Listen to the episode now to learn what could’ve prevented this—and how to protect yourself before it's too late.
