293 Introducing The NetSuite Accelerator with George Ploss Apr 12, 2023

Today on The Legalpreneur, I am excited to announce our long-awaited interview with George Ploss, the Global Director of the NetSuite Accelerator Program. Oracle recruited George through the diversity hiring initiative that targeted Veterans. He was brought on as a solutions consultant and quickly became the Senior Program Manager at Oracle in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Veterans. George's commitment to inclusivity led him to his current position in the NetSuite Accelerator, where he helps minority-owned companies like The Legalpreneur grow and expand their potential.

NetSuite is more than a financial planning app, it goes beyond the abilities of QuickBooks. George demonstrates how this unique platform is helping small businesses access enterprise resource planning. In the NetSuite Accelerator, George helps shape founders into leaders to attract venture capitalists so they can get access to the funding they need to revolutionize their industry.

We reminisce about The Legalpreneur's deal day. George explains how he helped The Legalpreneur master our financials and our pitch before we spoke to any VCs. The NetSuite Accelerator is a game changer for small businesses. If you want to learn more about the world of start-ups, venture capitalists, and the future of accelerators, listen now!

292 What Exactly Is Defamation? Apr 10, 2023

Are you clear on what qualifies as defamation? It’s a term that gets thrown around a lot in the entrepreneurial space, but today on The Legalpreneur, I am breaking down the five criteria to prove a defamation case. I clearly define what qualifies as defamation and break down common misconceptions about negative statements.

The main criteria of defamation are whether or not the statement can be proven as true or false and if it is made public. People are allowed to have negative opinions about you and your business, so not every rude comment calls for legal action.

Sometimes words travel farther than people intend, but everyone is still responsible for public statements made. I break down one of the most disputed criteria for defamation…fault. With social media, it is easy to post something, but once you do, the ripple effect can reach further than you intended. I am here to tell you that you can still hold the original person responsible if they were the catalyst for your public defamation.

Each criterion is nuanced and case-specific. if you suspect you are a victim of defamation, be sure to enlist an attorney to see if you have a civil case. As always, this is something that we at The Legalprenur can assist you with, so be sure to check out our membership plans to see if we can help you with your legal needs!

If you want to understand what qualifies as defamation, listen now!

Key Takeaways:

[0:30] Filing a civil claim for defamation

[1:40] What is slander vs liable

[2:00] Defamation cannot be an opinion

[3:00] It must be a provable true or false statement

[3:35] Statements must be in the public domain

[4:29] To be legitimate, you must be clearly identified in the statement

[6:25] It must have a negative impact on your public reputation

[7:20] You have to be able to prove that the statement is demonstrably false

[9:10] Getting clear about who is actually at fault

291 How To Determine What You Really Want From Life Apr 07, 2023

Do you have clarity on why you want to accomplish your goals? Today on The Legalpreneur, I want to inspire you to evaluate your goals, in order to understand your deeper motivations and decide if the life you're leading is the life you want.

As we enter a new chapter of The Legalpreneur, I am thinking a lot about why I started this project. My goal is to sell The Legalpreneur for a billion dollars, so I can start a venture capital fund for underrepresented minorities. The dream is bigger than the money, and the billion-dollar valuation is only because I know this business will change the legal industry forever. The money is great, but staying focused on the mission behind the money is what lights my soul on fire.

I have never been more financially unstable, but this has also been the most abundant time of my life! You can create a life that makes you happy! Get to know yourself and dig deep into why you're doing what you're doing. No matter what you want to accomplish in life, be sure to evaluate the deeper meaning behind your desire, so you don’t build a life or a business that is unfulfilling. Join me today to discover how to lead a life with intention.

288 What To Do If You Get Cancelled Mar 27, 2023

Are you prepared to handle a PR nightmare? In today’s internet culture, your public image is a delicate thing that must be protected and sometimes recovered. Today on The Legalpreneur Podcast, I give you examples of how you can handle a potential PR nightmare and recover from cancellation.

If you have done nothing wrong, I often recommend taking the high road and avoiding public acknowledgment of the attack on you or your business. You must be honest and take responsibility if you have genuinely made a verbal blunder or done something to bring about public scrutiny. Often a genuine apology goes a long way to win back approval.

If you are the target of public defamation, then your strategy will be much more involved. I teach you how to keep your cool and handle the situation professionally. Even when you have done nothing wrong, defamation will damage the image you have built in the public eye, which can cost you business, clients, and opportunities. Having a well-thought-out strategy is vital to the recovery of your good name.

To learn how to effectively handle a PR nightmare, listen now!

Key Takeaways:

[1:20] What it means to be cancelled

[2:10] Local versus a viral cancellation

[5:00] Deciphering if you are legitimately in the wrong

[6:10] How to respond to a personal attack

[9:00] Issuing a genuine apology

[10:40] Avoiding a PR nightmare: what to do and what not to do

[16:35] Women are held to a higher standard

285 Why You Shouldn't Worry About What Anyone Thinks Mar 17, 2023

Are you actively creating a life that makes you happy? People often succumb to social expectations by settling into a career that negates their life purpose, but you don’t have to live that way! Today on The Legalpreneur Podcast, I remind you to forget what others think so you can focus on your happiness. It’s not always easy, but when you live on your own terms, you quickly realize that your happiness is indispensable.

It takes hard work to understand what makes you happy, and it might change over time, but when you shed your people-pleasing tendencies, you welcome joy back into your life! No two paths are exactly the same, so take the time to figure out what you love and become an active participant in the manifestation of your destiny.

Nothing in your life happens without your permission. You have the power to accept or deny every opportunity that comes your way. What would be an amazing adventure to one person might be your worst nightmare, so be diligent in the exploration of your needs and desires. Do not settle for someone else’s vision for your life. Choose to manifest the life and career that makes you happy!

Key Takeaways:

[0:30] South by Southwest for entrepreneurs

[1:30] Intentionally exploring what you want to do with your life

[3:00] When you lose your motivation

[4:00] Doing things for yourself and your own happiness

[7:40] Sacrificing financial security for fulfillment

[9:30] Live out your life purpose

[10:30] Stop caring about what other people think

284 How To Keep Your Address Private In The Online World Mar 13, 2023

Is your information private? Today, on The Legalpreneur, I am sharing simple solutions to keep you and your information anonymous. Privacy is important, and your information is usually just a google search away, but there are steps you can take to keep your personal data off the public record.

Start by looking up your name on google, if you have already filed any legal documents for your business with your personal information, that is a public record. You can remedy this by transferring the paperwork into the business name. For those who are in the beginning phases of registering your business, simply using a virtual address or any address that is not your own is a simple way to keep your personal information off the public record.

If you value your privacy, you can enlist The Legalpreneur to file anonymously on your behalf. We now offer a baseline membership to help entrepreneurs start their businesses with the guidance of a competent attorney who can help you navigate the complexities of privacy protection. If you’re concerned about your online privacy, tune in and take note as I guide you through the basic steps to maintain your anonymity.

Key Takeaways:

[1:00] The $99 Legalpreneur membership

[3:15] Staying anonymous and keeping your information private

[4:30] Using an alternative address

[5:00] Any filing with your personal information is a public record

[6:00] A virtual address is a great alternative if you relocate often

283 Raising Money For Your Startup Mar 10, 2023

We are close to reaching our goal of 2-2.5 million dollars in funding! It is exciting to reach our fundraising goals, so today on The Legalpreneur, I am sharing my strategy for building venture capitalist relationships.

Traditionally, venture capitalism was a closed community. You could only meet investors by knowing someone who could introduce you. However, things are changing, and a new class of venture capitalists is emerging. In every major city, there is a startup community that you can join to ensure you get in the room with the right people. The Legalpreneur fundraising journey was launched after a pitch competition exposed me to a group of potential investors, which led to many more opportunities.

Remember that you are in the business of relationships, so positioning yourself within the investment community is a vital part of fundraising for your startup. Every interaction has the potential to change the financial trajectory of your startup!

If you want to learn how to position yourself and your business for financial success, listen now!

Key Takeaways:

[3:00] Venture capitalist opportunities

[5:00] The San Antonio pitch competition

[6:00] Getting involved with your city’s startup community

[7:00] Turning down the Capital Factory

[8:00] How one event can introduce you to investors and opportunities

281 5 Things To Do With A Trademark Registration Mar 06, 2023

Still not convinced that you need a trademark? Today on The Legalpreneur, I list my top 5 benefits that are exclusively available to federal trademark holders! Some basic protections are available without a trademark, such as the use of the ™ symbol, but obtaining a trademark ensures comprehensive protection of your brand on all fronts.

Filing for a trademark currently takes about 13 months to fully process, but it is an investment that pays off. Once your trademark becomes public knowledge the courts generally rule in your favor, since it is difficult for infringers to feign ignorance of your trademark. Having that public record would classify these violations as willful infringement, which means additional damages and attorney fees are awarded, simply because of your federal trademark!

You can also count on customs agents to enforce your trademark. They will stop unauthorized products from leaving or entering the country, which allows you to maintain better control of your intellectual property. These safeguards are only available once you have secured your federal trademark. It is time-consuming and expensive, but the cost of operating your business without a trademark is guaranteed to be much steeper. Don’t wait, and start your application today!

Key Takeaways:

[2:00] Securing the use of the R-Circle symbol

[2:50] Registering with customs to stop trademark infringements

[4:00] Submitting online takedowns

[6:00] Obtaining a domain name that is in use

[7:15] Additional damages and attorney fees from willful infringement

[8:25] Trademarks take an average of 13 months to process

280 How I Avoid Burnout! Mar 03, 2023

Are you on the verge of burnout? Before you push yourself beyond your capacity, tune into this episode, where I share my tips to avoid burnout! Entrepreneurs are inherently persistent, but knowing when to take a break will help you in the long run! Yes, you could force yourself to work non-stop and push through every day, but inevitably it will take a toll on your mental and physical health.

Avoiding burnout is actually very simple. When you are struggling through your work, take a step back and do something you enjoy for a while. Having a hobby is a great way to decompress and get your mind off of work, family, and relationships. You don’t need to justify your hobbies, and it's ok to be unproductive sometimes. Go find something that brings you peace, so you can return to work refreshed and ready to tackle the day!

As a business owner, you have the power to expand your team! I encourage you to make a list of all the mundane tasks that could be handled by someone else and hire someone to do it for you! Your time is a valuable asset, so delegating the responsibilities of your business is a great way to conserve your energy.

If you want to become intentional with your time and avoid burnout, listen now!

Key Takeaways:

[1:40] Recognizing when you’re on the verge of burnout

[2:45] Taking breaks is an essential aspect of protecting your mental well being

[4:00] Go do whatever brings you internal peace

[4:50] Get yourself a hobby that takes your mind off work, family, and relationships

[9:00] Be intentional with your time, and avoid tasks that could be handled by someone else

[10:00] Make a list of what you can hire someone else to do....and hire someone

278 Brick & Mortar Businesses: What Legal Protection Do You Need? Feb 27, 2023

Many local businesses struggle to find legal advice for their unique situation, so today on The Legalpreneur Podcast, I take you step by step through the process of legally starting your local business and break down how to safeguard yourself against lawsuits.

The requirements for a local business are different than what is required of a national online brand. First, you need to establish if you need local or federal protection. To qualify for a federal LLC you must be doing business in multiple states, which in most cases is beyond the scope of a local business. Generally, a Local business only needs local protection.

Once you’ve determined the geographical range of your business, check in with your local authorities to determine the requirements in your area. Details as small as your local return policies can make you vulnerable to a potential lawsuit. You can avoid these common mistakes with a Legalpreneur membership that will give you all access to an attorney who can help you file your LLC, DBA, and everything you need to legally protect your local business!

Key Takeaways:

[1:30] Local businesses are in-person services or traditional brick-and-mortar business

[3:23] You do not need to incorporate your local business, the best option is an LLC

[3:45] Deciphering if you need a DBA and an LLC for your local business

[4:25] Any business website needs a privacy policy and terms of conditions

[5:30] You can print the terms of conditions on the customer receipt

277 Startups v. Small Businesses Feb 24, 2023

The default path for entrepreneurship is usually starting a small business, but did you know that building a startup is a viable alternative? Today on The Legalpreneur Podcast, I highlight the key differences between a small business and a startup, so you can decide which model fits your goals.

Scale is the main distinction between these business models; small businesses remain small while startups are designed for growth.

If your goal is to be self-employed and develop a steady revenue stream, then starting a small business could be the right path for you. Small business owners do not need to cater to investors and are thus free to operate in niche industries that otherwise would not attract funding as a startup.

Building a startup is rooted in relationships because, unlike a small business, you receive funding from venture capitalists and investors who help grow your company. Generally, investors are only interested in billion-dollar industries, so you must fill a void in an already well-developed market. If you do successfully build your startup, attract investors and sell your company, you can expect a much bigger financial payout than you could achieve with a small business.

Whichever entrepreneurial path you take, your potential is only limited by what you believe you can achieve. Before I started The Legalpreneur, I did not know that building a startup was attainable to someone like myself. However, I've since learned that the only difference between you and a business owner or a startup CEO is daring to start!

If you want to learn what it takes to build a small business or a startup, listen now!

Key Takeaways:

[1:00] Small businesses stay small and startups are designed for growth

[2:00] The CEO of any startup is in the business of relationships

[4:00] A seed round is typically the first round of funding in your startup

[5:00] Venture capitalists are essentially your boss when they fund your startup

[6:00] Lowering your turn rate by teaching clients the value of your service

[7:00] Investors will not talk to you if your market size is less than a billion

272 When Should You File A Trademark Application? Feb 13, 2023

Are you new to entrepreneurship and unsure if you’re ready to file for a trademark? Today, on the Legalpreneur Podcast, I share exactly when it’s imperative to file for legal protection of your business. If you have the means to file, it’s always better to get your trademark as soon as possible, although if you’re still in the experimental phase you may be able to delay, for a short time, as your business gets established.

A trademark takes a minimum of 13 months to process during which time you or your attorney will search and verify that your brand name is not already in use. Many entrepreneurs don’t realize that a trademark covers more than just identical brand names but also anything that is similar enough to warrant a cease and desist letter. If your attorney does not require a trademark search, it’s time to find a new attorney!

Filing your Trademark is a lengthy and expensive process but the long term costs of operating your business without legal protection is much higher. An unprotected brand leaves you vulnerable to legal action that could kill your business before it has a chance to really develop.

If you want expert advice so you can determine if it’s time to file for your trademark, listen now!

Key Takeaways:

[1:00] An accelerator helps a startup accelerate their business

[2:10] If a function of your business brings you joy, DO IT, even if it isn’t bringing in revenue

[3:48] When should you file a trademark application

[4:20] If you can afford to get your trademark, get it!

[4:40] It takes at least 13 months to file your trademark

[5:00] Trademark infringement doesn’t just cover your name but also names that are very similar

[5:30] Every reputable trademark attorney should require you to do a trademark search

[6:20] Once you shift from the test phase to a legitimate business it’s time to get protection

[7:30] The trademark course helps you search, file, overcome office action and set up licensing

[8:05] The licensing agreement is the most expensive aspect of your trademark

271 Why You Aren't Successful, YET? Feb 10, 2023

Today on The Legalpreneur Podcast, I reveal the two things that are keeping you from reaching your goals. Circumstances are always changing but if you have an excuse handy for every occasion, you probably need to evaluate your habits. Once you’ve set your goal it is vital that you hold yourself accountable because you are responsible for your own success!

As a leader, you set the tone for those around you. If you’re comfortable making excuses, your team will be too. You may have to make some drastic changes in your daily life but that is the price of greatness.

As you grow in your ability to commit, be grateful for the strides you’ve made. Change is hard, so remember to appreciate how much progress you’ve made and how accountability has propelled you to bigger and greater things.

Key Takeaways:

[1:00] You have to appreciate how far you’ve come and be grateful for the work you’ve put in

[1:30] Excuses are detrimental to your ability to succeed

[1:55] The results prove the amount of work you’ve put in despite the circumstances

[3:00] In order to reach your goals, you must hold yourself accountable every day

[4:00] As a leader you have to set the example of accountability for your team

[4:40] If you want greatness you have to do the work to accomplish great things

[5:40] Changing your habits is hard but if you want drastic change, take drastic measures

270 Formulating The Perfect Tax Strategy with Shannon Weinstein Feb 08, 2023

With tax season upon us I invited Shannon Weinstein from Fitnancial to discuss some effective tax strategies that you can implement in your business. After losing a bet to her father, Shannon pursued accounting as a career because as her father predicted she had a natural affinity for numbers and thoroughly enjoyed navigating the tax codes. Now, Shannon is the host of the Keep What You Earn Podcast, where she helps entrepreneurs at any income bracket navigate the financial side of entrepreneurship.

In this episode, Shannon details some simple strategies that can help secure your children's future retirement, utilize tax code 529 and leverage the Augusta rule. As your company grows so should your relationship with your accountant. Transactional relationships with your accountant during tax season only deprive you the full benefits of a tax professional who could otherwise couch you on how to maximize your tax deductions all year round. Not all advice applies to all businesses so having a professional like Shannon, ensures you are following and leveraging every tax code that applies to your business.

269 What If Someone Gets The Trademark Before I Do? Feb 06, 2023

Today on the Legalpreneur Podcast, I help you understand what is at stake if you don’t register your trademark. The good news is, if you are the first business to operate under the name you have priority to that name, even if a competitor registers the trademark. Although, without the registered trademark, you will have to settle it in court. The costs of filing a cancellation proceeding, discovery and the time spent fighting for the right to your name is sometimes too expensive for a small business to undertake.

The right to cancel a trademark due to priority expires once a trademark has been in business long enough to renew said trademark. Once the trademark has been renewed, any businesses operating under the name effectively have no legal grounds to the title and must rebrand.

Starting a business is hectic but if you’re launching or are in the early stages of business, I encourage you to register your trademark. Owning your brand up front allows you to confidently do business, so don’t wait to legally protect yourself and file your trademarks!

Key Takeaways:

[0:40] What to do if you’re in business first but haven't filed for a trademark

[2:00] The business operating under the name first has priority to trademark the name

[3:00] If another business trademarks your name before you do, it then has to be settled in court

[3:30] A cancelation proceeding costs 2-5k just to file and only gets more expensive from there

[4:20] Discovery is the most expensive part of the proceedings, costing anything from 10-50k

[5:20] Andrea Sager Law was ranked 27th out of 40,000 trademark attorneys last year

[7:10] Our trademark course will help you file and use your trademark to make passive income

[8:50] Canceling due to priority is not valid if your business has already renewed the trademark

[10:30] If you’re launching your business don't wait to file your trademark

268 A Business Without A Brand? Why You Want Both Feb 03, 2023

Today on The Legalpreneur Podcast, I review the fundamental benefits of a business, a brand and why you should have both. While both businesses and brands can operate independently; together they have the capacity to maximize profit and growth.

As I've reviewed in previous episodes, a business is simply providing a service or product in the pursuit of profit. Having a brand is what sets your business apart from everyone else doing the same thing. Branding your business gives you a competitive edge that adds value to your product or service that otherwise is not legally protected. Trademarks were built to protect brands much like an LLC functions to protect your business, together they legally protect you on all fronts.

As you establish a brand that consumers trust and seek to emulate, trademarks of your brand allow you to access a new form of revenue, licensing. When you own your intellectual property, you can then certify others to sell your IP for a fee. A business cannot do this without a brand and a brand can’t make money without being in business which is why it is so important to understand and leverage both. In this episode, I will teach you the essentials and hopefully inspire you to build a successfully branded business!

Key Takeaways:

[1:49]You may have a business without a brand or a brand without a business but you want both

[2:30] The main purpose of a business is to make a profit (excluding non profits)

[3:15] A side hustle, freelancing or even a lemonade stand can be a business

[4:05] Trademarks protect your brand which are the designs that set you apart from other sellers

[4:35] An LLC protects your business but legally has no protection over your brand

[4:50] The intellectual property clause is the most important aspect of any business contract

[6:45] Having a brand increases the value of the products or services supplied by your business

[7:45] Certification is the licensing for coaches, allowing you to profit from others selling your IP

[9:00] Trademarks ensure that you can build and scale your brand while maintaining your IP

266 Everything You Need To Know About Copyrights Jan 30, 2023

Today on The Legalpreneur, I outline the key differences between a copyright and a trademark. If you are seeking federal protection for your brand then you must register it as a trademark whilst your creative work itself is, in most cases, inherently protected, assuming that it is unique.

The internet makes it easy for individuals to steal copyrighted material but a DMCA takedown is a legitimate reprisal for creators who aren’t ready to hire an attorney. Generally, platforms are swift to take down content that has been flagged for copyright infringement but if the violator counters, you may need to enlist an attorney and take them to court. Education is the first phase of protection and in this episode you will learn exactly how you can protect your work from copyright infringement.

Key Takeaways:

[0:50] If you are repeatedly creating something it is most likely requires a copyright

[1:40] The brand name is your trademark but what you create with that brand is copyright

[2:10] Creative work is often inherently federally protected, without registration, if it is unique

[2:42] You must register a trademark in order to receive federal protection

[4:58] The DMCA takedown allows small creators to police their work online without an attorney

[6:20] If copyrighted material isn't removed after a DMCA form is filed, you can then sue

[7:30] False counter notices open violators up to copyright infringement and perjury

[8:10] The Legalpreneur offers unlimited copyright takedowns services

265 How to Know if You're a Business Owner Jan 27, 2023

Today on The Legalpreneur Podcast, I am clearing up some confusion around what defines a business owner. Unfortunately, many freelancers and entrepreneurs are operating without the legal protection they deserve, simply because they aren’t aware of their status as a business owner.

Even if you haven't officially launched a company or you aren’t making money from your enterprise yet; it is the pursuit of profit that legitimizes you. In this episode, I help you determine if you are a business owner and what legal steps you should take to protect yourself in your venture.

Key Takeaways:

[2:23] Are you a business owner?

Today on The Legalpreneur Podcast, I am guiding you through common practices to deal with copyright or trademark infringement. I review the difference between a cease and desist letter versus a demand letter. Before you send a cease and desist letter, I encourage you to evaluate the alternatives. As an attorney, my goal is to inform you of all your options so you can resolve your issue in a way that suits your individual needs.

It is important to understand that many people don’t realize they are infringing. So, If you are looking to resolve an issue in the most cost effective manner, it benefits you to personally reach out and educate a violator before paying an attorney to do so. More often, these issues can be resolved without getting the courts or an attorney involved.

In instances, where you may need to be more forceful, The Legalpreneur membership is a great tool that allows you to involve an attorney early on. Most businesses don’t want to go to court, simply, having a Legalpreneur attorney on your side can help you resolve any issue efficiently and cost effectively. In this episode you will learn everything you need to know to make the right decision for you and your business.

Key Takeaways:

[1:40] Consider your other options before sending a cease and desist letter

[2:30] The difference between a cease and desist verses a demand letter

[3:40] Personally reach out and educate before sending a cease and desist letter

[5:56] Requirements for a copyright takedown or a trademark takedown

[7:00] The DMCA relieves 3rd party hosts of liability for user’s individual infringements

[8:10] As a last resort, you can submit a takedown without reaching an attorney

[9:20] You must have the registration for a trademark takedown but not for copyright

[9:30] When you should reach out to an attorney to send a letter

[11:48] Demand letters are most effective for recovering nonpayments

262 Tangible Tips for TikTok Jan 20, 2023

Today on The Legalpreneur Podcast, I provide some tangible tips for TikTok. For many years I struggled to gain an audience, until I truly understood who my audience actually was and began news jumping on the topics that mattered to them. I discovered that to tap into the full potential of TikTok, you need to identify your niche in order to create informative and relevant content that they were already searching for. You can do this on your own or you can even stitch with similar creators to gain followers and increase your notoriety.

This platform has rapidly become an essential resource for businesses to attract clients on and off the platform. Using these strategies, I have developed momentum, increased my followers and also connected with clients, otherwise unreachable. TikTok is an ever expanding global platform so it’s never too late to start!

Key Takeaways:

[1:30] Things have been slow on TikTok

[2:37] Attracting clients the first time I went viral on TikTok in 2021

[3:30] How I suddenly got 3.5 million views from one TikTok video

[4:25] Using news jumping as a growth strategy

[5:12] Replying to comments creates built in follow up content

[5:47] Identify what is popular within your niche and create similar content

[6:04] Trending audio gets views but stitching and duetting grows followers

[7:50] The more you practice, the more you can refine your content

[8:20] Producing well researched, quality and informative content

[9:45] It is not too late to get on TikTok!

260 Is This The End Of The Non-Compete Clause? Jan 16, 2023

In today's episode, I unfold the reality of the FTC’s proposal to nationally disband the non-compete clause. As it stands today, non-compete clauses are notoriously difficult to uphold so this proposal is arguably inconsequential. There are much more reliable ways to protect your business. Regardless if the proposal passes or not, I am teaching you alternative ways to safeguard your company from former staff seeking to recruit your employees or solicit your customers.

A non-solicitation provision is more effective and enforceable in the eyes of the courts. You cannot prevent a person from working but you can protect confidential information from being appropriated. This episode will help you strategize your onboarding agreements and prevent future litigation with former employees working in the same industry.

Key Takeaways:

[0:30] The FTC just entered a new proposal to nationally ban non-compete clauses

[1:00] The book is now available for preorder on Barnes and Noble!

[2:00] Non-compete clauses are currently very difficult to enforce in most states

[3:00] Most states limit enforcement geographically and within a reasonable timeframe

[4:25] Protecting your business with a confidentiality agreement or an NDA

[6:50] Understanding the difference between confidential, public and industry knowledge

[7:45] Non-solicitation agreements protect your business from losing customers and employees

257 Everything You Need to Know about the Disney Lawsuit Jan 09, 2023

In today’s episode, I am discussing why small business owners should be concerned by the latest Disney Lawsuit. I will teach you how to obtain legal licensing so you can avoid litigations with big retailers. The laws of copyright and trademarks are unyielding to those who attempt to circumvent the legal outputs available to small businesses interested in selling products of protected images. If you want to venture into this retail space, be sure you are creating products that are either licensed or are unique enough to be differentiated from copyrighted material. This episode will prepare you for the legal ramifications of copyright infringement and how exactly you can avoid receiving a cease and desist letter.

Key Takeaways:

[3:00] Current federal copyright protects during the lifetime of the author + 75 years

[3:40] Steamboat Willie Mickey’s copyright is about to expire not the Mickey image itself

[5:00] Disney owns the copyright to the silhouette of mickey Mouse ears

[6:00] Unlike a copyright, if a trademark is renewed it can live on forever

[7:30] Which mouse ears are not infringement on Disney’s copyright or trademark

[9:40] The courts want to ensure the matter is being resolved in good faith

[11:20] You can legally go through Disney to acquire a license to sell Disney products

69 - The Legal Success Framework Dec 15, 2020

‘What do I need to do to protect my business?’

This is probably the most common question I receive as a small business attorney. While I could simply provide a checklist of the legal details you need to keep in mind for a new business, that is only part of the story.

In order for you to create a strong small business that is protected and safe, you really need to understand why each legal step is necessary and how each element protects you. In order to help you do just that, we have created the Legal Success Framework, a five-step process that serves as the foundation for The Legalpreneur Membership.

In this episode, we’ll cover the five important steps of the Legal Success Framework:

Setup
Foundation
Growth
Enforcement
Review

63 - Moving Forward When Your Life Plans Change Nov 05, 2020

This week’s episode is a little late, a little different, and a little more personal.

I’m running late this week because I’ve only just had the chance to set up my podcast equipment in my new apartment, where I will be embarking on a new journey of co-parenting my two children with my husband while he and I separate. We are stepping forward as co-parents with deep mutual respect for each other, and for that I am so incredibly grateful. Our main priority now is to give our kids the best life they can receive, in a way that allows us to both to continue being a huge part of their lives.

Life transitions like this are hard. There are so many important details to keep in mind in order to make sure that you’re protecting yourself, your children, and your past partner. For example, I’ve been revisiting my estate planning documents lately to ensure that they reflect the new life I’m embarking on. If you haven’t listened to our past episode all about estate planning with Estate Planning Attorney, Ella Gentile, now is a great time to take a listen and consider what estate planning details you need to consider for your business and personal life, should the unexpected happen to you.

I’ll be back next week with more legal education, but for this week I just want to impart to you how important it is to be true to yourself and your happiness. Life changes are hard, but they’re worth it if you know it’s the right thing.

In the meantime, do you have any co-parenting tips? I’m all ears! Hit me up on Instagram @andreasagerlaw or @legalpreneur to share!

39 - Employment Rights During Covid-19 with Employment Attorney Claudia Castillo Jul 16, 2020

Some of the most common questions I’ve received in the last two months have to do with bringing employees back to work as businesses reopen during Covid-19. To answer all of your questions I’m joined by Employment Attorney Claudia Castillo of ResolvEmployment Law. Listen in for an overview of what you’ll need to keep in mind as your employees return to the workplace.

In this episode we’ll cover:

Employee rights as to whether or not they return to work when a brick & mortar reopens
How the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and OSHA regulations factor into decisions about high-risk employees returning
Under what circumstances employers have to continue paying employees
The difference between firing, layoffs, and furloughs
What you need to know about the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA)
How Covid-related illnesses in your workplace would involve workers compensation

While we haven’t yet seen litigation surrounding someone catching Covid-19 at a business, the future of lawsuits surrounding this topic is not out of the question, so you’ll want to be proactive in order to protect your business. That’s why I’ve created a free Covid-19 waiver so that you’ll have an extra level of protection if we begin to see litigation around Covid and businesses.

35 - The Benefits of Community Banking for Small Businesses Jul 02, 2020

This spring during the height of the Covid shutdowns I tried to apply for a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan through Chase Bank, the large multinational bank that I used for business banking.

I have now moved my business banking to a community bank in my region, and I am so happy that I did. I received immediate assistance on my PPP loan application, and I’m already beginning to see the long lasting benefits of banking within my local community.

Today I’m joined by Paul Merski of the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), a trade organization representing over 5,000 community banks, for a conversation about how Community Banks work to champion and support small businesses.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

What community banking is, and how does it differs from large multinational banks
Community banking’s dedication to small business loans
How keeping your money in your community bank supports a thriving local economy
Tips for moving your small business banking from a large bank to a community bank
