Solopreneur Phase: Are you making expensive mistakes in your business? (S5E121)

If you’re in the Solopreneur Phase of business - your business is no longer a baby, you’re making revenue you depend on (up to $50,000) and you’re still the one doing all the things  - this episode is for you.

Learn some expensive mistakes you could be making in your business, whether you’re a done-for-you service provider, a coach, or a course creator. 

And even if you may still be in Launch Phase, or in a later phase, you’ll want to tune in to make sure you’ve taken care of your legal basics, or get an idea of potential problems that lie ahead.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

• Why the Solopreneur Phase is a really great time to take care of legal (even if it seems too early)
• How your website might not be covered legally if you’re missing specific documents required by law
• Why it’s so critical to protect your primary revenue stream at this stage
• How to avoid common client problems, like: 
• • Non-payment
  • Scope creep
  • Refund requests
  • Ghosting in the middle of a project
  • Disputes about who owns the work product
  • Firing a nightmare client
  • Copycats
  • Flaking on payment plans, or 
  • Causing drama in your community or group
