The Purpose Chasers

Stop trying to fill roles that you’re not equipped to fill!

Last week, I shared my super painful and expensive lesson of trying to be my own attorney. After years of trying to fill the wrong role in my business, I realized that to level up, I needed to call the experts. 

This week, I am talking with my personal business attorney, Nicholas A. Dupre. Nick is Board Certified in Estate Planning and Probate and is a native Houstonian in his 15th year of practice. Before becoming an owner and partner of his own firm in 2017, Nick worked 12+ years for two premier boutique firms in the Houston and Woodlands area. 

Nick assists and protects small to midsize businesses. His work concentrates on probate, estate and gift tax planning, business planning, taxation, and asset protection. Nick also focuses on estate administration, charitable organizations, real estate transactions, tax controversies, and intellectual property transactions.

Nick is also married to his chemical engineer wife of 16 years and has four amazing children (3 girls and 1 boy) 10 years old and younger.  

Join us this week as we discuss how to understand asset protections and bylaws for your business. We also talk about different vetting practices to ensure the right attorney for you. 

Don’t make the same mistakes I did. Hire the right business attorney for you. Your relationships (and your pocketbook) will thank you for it. 

Topics Discussed:

• Learning how to separate the work you're doing from your business 
• Why a good contract keeps you out of litigation 
• The liabilities around acquisition and taking over equity in a company
• Viewing business attorneys as an investment, not an expense
• The importance of documenting everything!

Some days you’ve just gotta rip the e-brake and take time for evaluation and self-reflection. Taking time to pause, sit back, and think about your current circumstances can be one of the most humbling experiences. When we recognize where we are, how far we have come, and where we are headed, we begin to see our own personal growth. 

This week, I am sharing yet another lesson that I am currently learning and what it’s teaching me about my own personal growth. I am most content with where I am in business and how I show up in my relationships than I have been all year. And I have internal evaluation and self-reflection to thank for that. Clearing the necessary space has allowed me to seek the things that truly bring me the most joy. And I can’t wait to see what’s on the other side of all of this. 

Topics Discussed:

• Why it’s important to hit pause, reflect, and evaluate
• Knowing when to fire clients and step out of business relationships
• Creating space as an entrepreneur to grow and learn
• Dealing with self-limiting beliefs and FOMO
