8. What, like it's hard? How to start, build & protect your business legally with lawyer Nicole Swartz
This episode is basically the 'Find Your Magic' version of "Legally Blonde"; it involves feminism, believing in yourself after failure, glitter pens, understanding your personal brand, and setting yourself up for success in the workforce. Plus the musical improv "gives it a little something extra, don't you think?"
Come for the laughs, stay for the legal advice! If you're anything like me, you hear the word "legal" and your eyes glaze over. It can be scary and intimidating to get set up with everything you need to legally start and run a business (not just a hobby).
Lucky for you, my business bestie Nicole Swartz is here to talk us through the basics. She's the founder of Sprout Law - a law firm for women entrepreneurs, and Celestine Social - a consultancy that focuses on branding and social media strategy. From trademarks, to naming your brand, to terms and conditions, to contracts, to building a sustainable business that can scale- Nicole can help!
But don't estomp your lil last season Prada shoes at me hunny- it's not all legalese! We had a TON of fun in this episode- in fact I think it's safe to say I laughed more taping this one than any episode so far! And of course, no episode of Find Your Magic is complete without a chat about mental health.
So if you're ready to laugh out loud, pick up some business tips, and like, totally have a better relationship with failure, then you better 'bend and snap' to it and hit that play button! (What, like it's hard?)
