KEY TAKEAWAYS COVERED IN THE PODCAST

• 95% of people do not think about the legal aspects of business

• We have to think about when things go wrong and have a plan for this

• You need to have a strategy/goal in place to run a business that includes the legal stuff

• Having a business is more than just having a logo and photoshoot!

• It is better to be proactive than reactive – being reactive will always cost more

• You don’t need a lot of clients or customers to make lots of money – you need raving fans

• Turn your clients/customers into raving fans by giving them the best customer experience

• Having the right legal cover and protection in place makes you a better business owner, provide better service and it sets expectations for people who work with/buy from you

• Make an environment where everything is a given – set expectations from the start

• Authorise people – enable people to handle things whilst you’re not around

• At the very least you should separate your personal assets to your business assets

• You have to have contracts and policies in place so there is a mutual understanding in place from the very start.
