1 00:00:10,700 --> 00:00:12,680 Hey there, and welcome back to On Your Terms. 2 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,880 I'm your host, Sam Vander Wielen, an attorney turned entrepreneur who helps online 3 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,680 coaches and course creators legally protect and grow their online brands using my DIY 4 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,430 legal templates and the Ultimate Bundle Program. This 5 00:00:25,430 --> 00:00:30,950 week, I'm diving into a couple of your best asked questions about my Ultimate Bundle 6 00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:35,330 Program because it's on sale right now, so we got to talk about this. Okay 7 00:00:35,330 --> 00:00:37,880 . So, let me hop into the first question here. 8 00:00:37,940 --> 00:00:44,060 Someone asked, "Can I just get contracts off of LegalZoom or some other big box store?" I 9 00:00:44,060 --> 00:00:48,860 get asked about a lot of kind of big box legal options, low cost options online. 10 00:00:49,130 --> 00:00:55,850 So, these options online are decent options maybe if you operated like a brick and mortar 11 00:00:55,850 --> 00:01:01,200 store where all of your customers are in the same location doing business with you. 12 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,480 Even then, they can cause some issues, they're not quite specific enough. But 13 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,410 for an online business - here's my issue with online businesses, coaching businesses, 14 00:01:09,410 --> 00:01:14,420 that kind of stuff - when we have coaching businesses, we need to know about things like 15 00:01:14,420 --> 00:01:18,740 scope, and we need to make sure that when we're working with people in other states or 16 00:01:18,740 --> 00:01:22,460 across the world even, that that's safe for us to do. 17 00:01:22,460 --> 00:01:27,720 It's much more nuanced than just having a brick and mortar store. 18 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,750 And there is more that you need to know or more than you need beyond just a contract. 19 00:01:32,750 --> 00:01:37,760 So, you need to know about things like scope of practice, like I mentioned, and the GDPR, 20 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,860 the General Data Protection Regulation. 21 00:01:39,860 --> 00:01:42,800 You need to know about email marketing and building an email list. 22 00:01:43,310 --> 00:01:47,420 You need to know about how to legally offer a webinar or do disclaimers when you have 23 00:01:47,420 --> 00:01:51,770 trainings, or what you can and can't say, or the kind of content that you can talk about 24 00:01:51,770 --> 00:01:53,780 on a podcast or YouTube channel. 25 00:01:53,780 --> 00:01:58,550 You also have to know how to legally run an affiliate program or to hire a VA. There's 26 00:01:58,550 --> 00:02:02,300 so many things when it comes to online business that you're going to want support as your 27 00:02:02,300 --> 00:02:06,140 online business unfolds, not just a quick contract here or there. 28 00:02:06,710 --> 00:02:10,190 You know, the online world is still developing, too, so just getting a contract is not 29 00:02:10,190 --> 00:02:14,100 going to cover it. You're going to need stuff as things develop moving forward. 30 00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:18,590 So, the whole point with the Ultimate Bundle is to give you that ongoing support and those 31 00:02:18,590 --> 00:02:22,040 trainings specific to what you do online. 32 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,780 The next question I got was, "I don't even have a client yet, should I wait until my 33 00:02:26,780 --> 00:02:31,370 business is bigger until I buy the Ultimate Bundle?" So, I certainly hope that you don't 34 00:02:31,370 --> 00:02:37,460 because there is no get out of jail free card for not having a lot of clients or not 35 00:02:37,460 --> 00:02:38,630 making a lot of money. 36 00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:43,040 If we do something wrong legally or we're accused of doing something wrong legally, and we 37 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,180 don't have the proper legal stuff in place, we are vulnerable. 38 00:02:47,180 --> 00:02:50,600 We are exposed to that kind of liability. If 39 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,960 you don't have an LLC or you don't have the right kind of business insurance, you don't 40 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,970 have legit contracts, that's all going to be a problem and it's not going to matter that 41 00:02:58,970 --> 00:03:02,840 you're new, that you're not profitable, or that you only had a certain number of 42 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:09,110 clients. So, some of my Bundle members have told me in the past that they did wait and that all 43 00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:14,510 that that did was lead them through this cycle of waiting and waiting to build their 44 00:03:14,510 --> 00:03:18,710 business and to be more visible, because they were too afraid to take on more clients 45 00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:20,510 because they weren't legally protected. 46 00:03:20,510 --> 00:03:25,730 So, it's sort of like this circuitous issue that, in my opinion, if you don't get legally 47 00:03:25,730 --> 00:03:29,000 protected and that's something that's bothering you because you're feeling nervous about 48 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,780 putting yourself out there, until you get that rectified, you're not going to put 49 00:03:32,780 --> 00:03:34,610 yourself out there. So, 50 00:03:34,610 --> 00:03:36,280 I think thinking like, "Oh. 51 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:41,030 I'll wait until I'm more profitable and then I'll get legal." But if part of the reason 52 00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:45,050 that you won't grow your business because you don't feel safe being seen, then that's not 53 00:03:45,050 --> 00:03:46,190 going to happen anyway. 54 00:03:46,190 --> 00:03:51,710 So, I would rather you kind of position yourself, do this stuff right from the start, and 55 00:03:51,710 --> 00:03:55,280 be able to go out there and confidently market your business. I 56 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,750 also see that over time people end up saving a lot of money from doing things right the 57 00:03:59,750 --> 00:04:04,730 first time and getting things set up legally because, otherwise, what they end up doing 58 00:04:04,730 --> 00:04:08,750 is like trying to piece together some stuff themselves and then having to go back and 59 00:04:08,750 --> 00:04:13,250 undo it. And that ends up costing them more money than if they had just tackled it right 60 00:04:13,250 --> 00:04:17,360 from the start. And this way, you'll know it's right from the start and then you can just 61 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,800 go on and build your business. 62 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,600 That's really what I want you to do. 63 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,080 All right. The next question someone asked was, "How much time is it going to take me to 64 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,810 go through the Ultimate Bundle? 65 00:04:25,810 --> 00:04:31,340 Or what does it look like to use the Ultimate Bundle in real life?" So, the thing that is 66 00:04:31,340 --> 00:04:35,270 most important to know here is that all of my legal templates were designed with you in 67 00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:39,470 mind knowing that you're super busy, and that is why they can all be completed in 15 68 00:04:39,470 --> 00:04:40,730 minutes or less. 69 00:04:40,820 --> 00:04:43,190 They're super easy, fill in the blank style. 70 00:04:43,190 --> 00:04:45,380 You're just filling in personal details. 71 00:04:45,380 --> 00:04:47,820 I've done all the legal writing for you. 72 00:04:47,820 --> 00:04:52,310 And they all come with the how to video tutorial where I actually walk you through how to 73 00:04:52,310 --> 00:04:55,850 fill it out. That's why it's so easy and that's why it's so fast. As 74 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,170 for all of the video trainings, there's over 35 on demand video trainings for you inside 75 00:05:00,170 --> 00:05:03,830 the Bundle. They are not meant to be consumed like a course. 76 00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:08,090 They are more like a resource library that you have access to. 77 00:05:08,450 --> 00:05:13,280 And any time you have a legal business question, any time you have probably a financial 78 00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:17,300 business question, there is an answer for you in the Ultimate Bundle in one of those 79 00:05:17,300 --> 00:05:21,680 trainings, because now the benefit of having had thousands and thousands of customers in 80 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,100 the Ultimate Bundle, I know what your questions are going to be and I've created a 81 00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:29,120 training for it. So, they're all in there and you can watch them at your own pace as 82 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,710 questions come up. So, 83 00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:35,090 for example, if six months from now, you're ready to start your first group program and 84 00:05:35,090 --> 00:05:39,590 you're already inside of the Bundle, you now have a group program contract already in the 85 00:05:39,590 --> 00:05:45,530 Bundle. But there's also a training inside of the Bundle on the legal issues in terms of 86 00:05:45,530 --> 00:05:49,160 getting one set up and how to interact with members and what are some of the common 87 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,230 issues that come up. 88 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,470 That's the kind of thing that I would watch before your group program starts, because 89 00:05:54,470 --> 00:05:57,350 that's what's going to help you to avoid those issues. 90 00:05:57,620 --> 00:06:00,830 So, it's super, super easy. If 91 00:06:00,830 --> 00:06:06,230 you have any more questions about the Ultimate Bundle and what's inside, I just did an 92 00:06:06,230 --> 00:06:09,370 episode, Episode 88, on what exactly is inside. 93 00:06:09,370 --> 00:06:12,770 It's a super quick episode you can go listen to, where I break down all the components of 94 00:06:12,770 --> 00:06:14,600 the Bundle and what you get for it. 95 00:06:14,930 --> 00:06:18,530 But if you have any questions that I haven't addressed, please just reach out to me 96 00:06:18,530 --> 00:06:20,600 directly.
