Every day is different for Autumn's small firm, where they support badass creative entrepreneurs to ensure they've got the legal support they need, to keep their ass covered! Autumn provides a full service law firm for entrepreneurs, while specializing in copyright and trademark processes.

How does Autumn understand the online business world so well? Because her firm is a virtual service and is always looking for creative ways to be different as a law firm.

Autumn fully believes in our right to being able to fully protect our creativity (including our secret sauce), to protect our businesses in the safest way possible. She also understands that most business owners just don't have the money to work with a lawyer to start off with, and says that you can DIY the processes to get you going, but there will come a time when you will need to invest in a lawyer to provide you with that additional legal support you need!

If you want to understand what copyright and trademark law means, you need to listen to this episode, as Autumn explains all of it for you: how to register your content, courses and business; manage contracts and collaborations; and, how you check into your new business name, before you go down the route of registering and launching.

Anna Rova is the 'digital nomad' behind Girlskill and the Girlskill Podcast, which is her second podcast. Her original podcast was based on the dynamics of relationships and the differences between males and females. When Anna decided to take a new path, the flip of the coin led to the development of Girlskill, where Anna looks at the stories of women (no matter what their life) and their femininity.

A recurring theme Anna hopes to educate women about, is that they are not unworthy because they are female. By mentoring women to step into their femininity and feminine energy, as a strength, is something Anna is passionate about.

So, what is femininity? The challenge for women today is balancing the polarity between their masculine and feminine energy. Adopting and embracing both sides of us, are what make us strong females and badass business owners... while maintaining our femininity.

With the amount of negative energy in the world, where do we stand as females? We don't need to take that energy into our personal world. We don't 'need' to 'protest' about our ability to be female. Anna wants females to focus on who they are and their place in the world as inherently feminine!

After becoming a Mom, Rachel didn't want to go back to a 9-5 job, so decided to start her first business creating party printables, which allows her to stay at home with her son; while still being able to use her creative brain!

Rachel found that she was unable to find styled stock images that screamed 'female' to her; or, there were only individual images for sale. With such a void in the market, Rachel decided that she needed to create a membership site that allowed female entrepreneurs to have access to a huge library of feminine styled images.

HauteStock was the first membership site of online stock images, but Rachel is happy for there to be competition out there with a similar business model, as there as so many niches that need to be covered... Plus, the competition pushes her to continue to be the best!

Originally, HauteStock started with images that represented Rachel's own style, with photos that she felt other female entrepreneurs would want to see. Once members started to ask Rachel if it was possible to create other types of images, she began adding these to the library.

The HauteStock brand has evolved in a way that ensures that Rachel is producing high quality collections of brand images for her members, which now include lifestyle images and models but still includes those amazing collections of stylised desk scene images that so many of us want to use!

Emily Ann Peterson is a Singer, Songwriter and best selling author. When this podcast was recorded, Emily was in her national book tour for her best selling book, Bare Naked Bravery!

Five years ago Emily was a professional cellist when she was diagnosed with a condition that changed her life. The lack of stability and tremors in her hand meant that her life altered: as a cellist this meant that not only her entire career changed, but she also felt that she was grieving for her identity.

Over a period of 6 weeks, Emily discovered that she had a lot of other creative skills she could dig into. This included songwriting, starting a podcast and talking to other people who showed bravery - enter Bare Naked Bravery!

So what is bravery? Emily has found that there are 3 forms: internal, external and resonate bravery.

Emily says that bravery isn't something that just happens, but is almost like a muscle that develops over time to strengthen.

TV reporter - this was the dream job for Tori Toth. But, what do you do when you begin to hate what you thought your dream was? A home staging article led Tori to make the leap into this new avenue of showcasing properties (you need to listen to understand what all of this means because Tori describes it best)!

Listen as Tori describes the highs and lows of setting up her business, how sheer determination and faith kept her going; and how she learned to be the NYC badass boss she is today!

In a female orientated industry, Tori has fun explaining what she does when networking as people are interested in learning what a home stager does.

After the set back of a hurricane partially destroying Tori's home (and office), Tori is now sharing her secrets (including how to present yourself and DIY tips & tricks) via her book, speaker events (including Australia soon), her YouTube channel and online courses!

Using her background as a writer, Cindy Mich has managed to infuse this into a passion based and monetized zone of genius.

Five years ago, Cindy left her 9-5 to pursue her passion full-time; and now uses that original passion of writing as her both her side-hustle and business. What does this cover? More than most badasses could cope with (!): author, copywriter, red-carpet interviewer, documentary contributor, radio show host, podcast host AND representing other authors!

Like all authors and writers, Cindy has dealt with publishing rejections. The advice she gives to all writers? No matter what stumbling blocks are put in your way; which includes knowing your worth and KEEP GOING!

This is possibly THE best piece of advice for any business owner and entrepreneur!

Courtney Brown is the CEO of multi-million dollar fashion brand, Cents of Style; and is also a wife and Mom of 3 – which is her favorite title, but she is also so much more than any of these labels. Courtney wants every woman to see that each of them are more than the labels assigned to them, and that the current meaning of 'work life balance' isn't real: balance comes from just living in that moment.

As a woman who has always loved creative fashion, Courtney launched Cents of Style in 2007 with no money. Using her personal network of friends and family, Cents of Style grew; however in 2011, the business was at a stage where the business model was no longer scalable. Courtney made the decision to strip it all back to basics and then re-launched online.

Cents of Style has a mission is to empower all women. Every product starts with the question, 'will this empower women to find their place in the world?'. If the answer is yes, then Cents of Style makes it happen!
