Legally Legit® Podcast

Happy Monday friends! The past dozen episodes I’ve talked primarily about legal concepts that you as an entrepreneur should know and should be utilizing in your business. BUT, I also am a business coach for photographers, wedding industry professionals, and creatives. Today is my first episode all about business and to start our journey I’m going wayyyy back to the beginning of when I started my own photography biz 8 years ago and what that looked like. We are talking about what drives me forward- my own biz motto “Find the Niche, Fill the Niche, and Kill the Niche” and how it can be implemented in your own business. You guy’s my coaching is different from anyone out there in the online world because not only am I a coach but I am also an attorney and attorneys do NOT think like other people. So let’s dive into my motto and some biz talk. Success and more dolla bills are on your horizon. Are you ready?

Legal Paigers!! If you tuned in last week you know I chatted all about the differences between independent contractors and employees. Well friends, this week’s episode is an extension of that topic and I am bringing on my dear friend Janelle, founder and owner of Janelle Joy Private Editing. You are going to get boatloads of amazing info from us as we discuss the good, the bad, and ugly of hiring on team members and how you can do it better. We talk about how Janelle went from a one-woman show to a team of six in just one year! She thrives by the model time is a luxury we can’t afford to waist so use it wisely and purposefully. I cannot wait for you guys to hear about what Janelle has to say about hiring on her editing team and the processes she emplaced to ensure everyone was a good fit and all her ducks were in a row… legally that is. Join our conversation NOW!

Today, we are talking all how to hire someone onto your team the right way. As small business owners, entrepreneurs, and creatives, we need help managing our businesses as we grow! At a certain point, it just isn’t possible to get all the work done by yourself. And, when hiring help, the biggest dilemma you will face is: should I hire individuals as independent contractors or employees? This is one of the biggest questions I get on my Instagram and Legal Paige private facebook community. I thought it was time to do an official podcast episode on this topic to get you all the information you need!! Make sure to tune in and listen carefully to the differences between these two worker designations because it could cost you and turn into a huge headache with the IRS if you aren’t handling your workers correctly. Are you ready? Let’s do this!

Vanessa is a Pinterest Marketing Strategist for creative small businesses. As a YouTuber, blogger, and consultant, she helps creative small businesses grow by teaching traffic-generating Pinterest strategies to increase their brand visibility, book more clients, and ultimately, generate more sales. All in all, she is pretty much the guru of Pinterest so I knew I needed to have her on the podcast. And she’s here today to chat all about it and how it is your secret weapon to business growth!!

Episode 9 Shownotes

This is Part 2 of our discussion last week on the essential contract clauses for any service-based company.  Last week we talked about the Entire Agreement Clause, Description of Services Clause, Venue and Jurisdiction Clause, Severability Clause, Transfer Clause, Billing Structure Clause.  Today we’re adding onto that with a few more essential clauses. Let's do this!!

Friends! This is one of my favorite things to talk about… contract clauses! Haha, I’m sure you’re not as excited as I am, but I promise you that once you listen in to these episodes you’ll be much happier than before and a smarter business owner because I’ll easily explain the most important clauses you need in your service contract and why they’re important to have. I’m also going to break this episode up into a two part episode series.

Trust me, I know how challenging it is to be an entrepreneur as I am one myself and built a photography business from the ground up. One thing that has helped me throughout the years is my friends in the business.  

I have tons of femalepreneurs across the country that have been a guiding force behind my growing business. With that, I’ve learned the ins-and-outs of dealing with friends in the industry, trading services, and effectively communicating with colleagues when working together!!
