Hey friend! Welcome to another episode of the Empower Her Podcast! I’m really excited to bring you my conversation with today’s guest.   Welcome Sarah Waldbuesser, an attorney and the creator of Destination Legal.   Sarah provides legal services and templates for coaches and small business owners through her website.   Our conversation today breaks down the fear around this topic and is jam packed with resources. Key Takeaways

• Sarah started Desintation Legal seven years ago. She loves to travel and wanted a more flexible lifestyle. She is dedicated to providing tangible, affordable legal services.
• “Having your legal in place really does empower you and give you more confidence”
• You only need two things to start a business: A way to get paid and a contract.
• Templates are fine. Check Destination Legal where contract templates are hyper-specific to industry.
• Trademarks distinguish who provides services within an industry. They must be a unique name or product and have to be related to selling something.
• “If you got a cease and desist in your email tomorrow saying you have to stop and rebrand within the next three months, how would you feel?”
• Sarah has a beautiful visual for understanding the trademarking process. Download her Trademark Roadmap here.
• More legal considerations include being sure your website has a privacy policy and have a terms of service if you are selling anything online.
• Sarah advises to get an LLC after the first six months to one year of your business once you feel it is viable. It is a legal protection that separates your business and personal assets.
• Sarah recommends the book Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins and the podcasts “The Chris Harder Show” and “Earn Your Happy.”
