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!Key Takeaways:[1:00] George's start at Oracle [3:00] Helping startups grow and succeed [4:00] What is the capacity of Netsuite  [12:00] The Legalpreneur Deal day [15:00] Investing in the growth of each startup [17:30] Merging mission-oriented work with profit [23:00] The flexibility of Netsuite [25:00] What defines a true startup [27:30] The Netsuite accelerator [29:30] Never lose sight of your entrepreneurial passionTo learn more about George, click the link below:NetSuite AcceleratorTHE LEGALPRENEUR BOOK IS HERE!Click this link to buy it now:  AmazonGet Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?   We have THE solution for you, the Legal Protection Playbook!  Get started here.Links: Andrea's Instagram Legalpreneur Instagram Website FacebookTwitter TikTokYouTube_____Disclaimer: The Legalpreneur Podcast is advertising/marketing material.

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  THE LEGALPRENEUR BOOK IS HERE!Click this link to buy it now:  AmazonGet Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?   We have THE solution for you, the Legal Protection Playbook!  Get started here.Links: Andrea's Instagram Legalpreneur Instagram Website FacebookTwitter TikTokYouTube_____Disclaimer: The Legalpreneur Podcast is advertising/marketing material.

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. Key Takeaways:[0:30] Taking a hiatus on The Legalpreneur podcast [1:30] Free strategy session for the new tier of our membership [3:00] A New Earth from Echorch Tolle will make you question everything[4:12] Are you living life intentionally or just letting it happen?[5:45] My goals for The Legalpreneur [6:50] It's not about the money, it's about your purpose [8:30] Transitioning into a venture capitalist as a founder[10:10] Taking my experience into entrepreneur mentorship[11:00] Understanding the reasons behind your goals [12:00] Changing the legal industry for small businessesTHE LEGALPRENEUR BOOK IS HERE!Click this link to buy it now:  AmazonGet Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?   We have THE solution for you, the Legal Protection Playbook!  Get started here.Links: Andrea's Instagram Legalpreneur Instagram Website FacebookTwitter TikTokYouTube_____Disclaimer: The Legalpreneur Podcast is advertising/marketing material.

Are you in alignment with your purpose as an entrepreneur? Often your identity gets wrapped up in how you make money, but there are a million ways to make your fortune! Today on The Legalpreneur, we discuss identity and entrepreneurship with Cat Golden, founder of Nurses Inspire Nurses. She is one of The Legalpreneur's first members and today she shares how her membership helped her with everything she didn't know that she didn't know! Her unique perspective on authenticity and business will have you reevaluating how you make money. When you shift your focus from money to living authentically, you will be amazed at the opportunities that manifest for you.

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 THE LEGALPRENEUR BOOK IS HERE!Click this link to buy it now:  AmazonGet Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?   We have THE solution for you, the Legal Protection Playbook!  Get started here.Links: Andrea's Instagram Legalpreneur Instagram Website FacebookTwitter TikTokYouTube_____Disclaimer: The Legalpreneur Podcast is advertising/marketing material.

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.

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 [10:00] You are in the business of relationshipsTHE LEGALPRENEUR BOOK IS HERE!Click this link to buy it now:  AmazonGet Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?   We have THE solution for you, the Legal Protection Playbook!  Get started here.Links: Andrea's Instagram Legalpreneur Instagram Website FacebookTwitter TikTokYouTube_____Disclaimer: The Legalpreneur Podcast is advertising/marketing material.

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  THE LEGALPRENEUR BOOK IS HERE!Click this link to buy it now:  AmazonGet Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?   We have THE solution for you, the Legal Protection Playbook!  Get started here.Links: Andrea's Instagram Legalpreneur Instagram Website FacebookTwitter TikTokYouTube_____Disclaimer: The Legalpreneur Podcast is advertising/marketing material.

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!

Do you know your Legalpreneur history? Today is a special episode with my best friend and Chief Operating Officer, Kayla Bandy! She has witnessed my ups, downs, and everything in between. Her insight into the inception of The Legalpreneur makes her the perfect host for today's episode, as she asks me hard-hitting questions about life, love, and entrepreneurship. Friendship and business can mix, and I believe our tendency to over-communicate has contributed to the success of The Legalpreneur.

Today, Kayla is still coaching me through every haphazard idea I have for The Legalpreneur.We take a trip down memory lane and laugh about the evolution of my entrepreneurial journey.

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.

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 billionTHE LEGALPRENEUR BOOK IS HERE!Click this link to buy it now:  AmazonGet Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?   We have THE solution for you, the Legal Protection Playbook!  Get started here.Links: Andrea's Instagram Legalpreneur Instagram Website FacebookTwitter TikTokYouTube_____Disclaimer: The Legalpreneur Podcast is advertising/marketing material.

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 trademarkTHE LEGALPRENEUR BOOK IS HERE!Click this link to buy it now:  AmazonGet Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?   We have THE solution for you, the Legal Protection Playbook!  Get started here.Links: Andrea's Instagram Legalpreneur Instagram Website FacebookTwitter TikTokYouTube_____Disclaimer: The Legalpreneur Podcast is advertising/marketing material.

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 measuresTHE LEGALPRENUER BOOK IS HERE!Click this link to buy it now:  AmazonGet Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?   We have THE solution for you, the Legal Protection Playbook!  Get started here.Links: Andrea's Instagram Legalpreneur Instagram Website FacebookTwitter TikTokYouTube_____Disclaimer: The Legalpreneur Podcast is advertising/marketing material.

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 trademarkTHE LEGALPRENUER BOOK IS HERE!Click this link to buy it now:  AmazonGet Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?   We have THE solution for you, the Legal Protection Playbook!  Get started here.Links: Andrea's Instagram Legalpreneur Instagram Website FacebookTwitter TikTokYouTube_____Disclaimer: The Legalpreneur Podcast is advertising/marketing material.

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 IPTHE LEGALPRENUER BOOK IS HERE!

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 servicesTHE LEGALPRENEUR BOOK IS FINALLY HERE!It's available at the following online retailers:AmazonBarnes & NobleWalmartGet Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?   We have THE solution for you, the Legal Protection Playbook!  Get started here.Links: Andrea's Instagram Legalpreneur Instagram Website 

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.If you are working towards earning income from the goods or services you provide then you are characterized 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:[0:55] The Legalpreneur book is now available[2:23] Are you a business owner? [4:05] If you operate a business and aim to profit from its success, you are a business owner[6:10] Legally protecting yourself with education, written contracts and an LLC[7:54] A brand is a name, design or feature that distinguishes you from another business[8:40] You can have a business without having a brandTHE LEGALPRENEUR BOOK IS FINALLY HERE!It's available at the following online retailers:AmazonBarnes & NobleWalmartGet Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?   We have THE solution for you, the Legal Protection Playbook!  Get started here.Links: Andrea's Instagram Legalpreneur Instagram Website FacebookTwitter TikTokYouTub

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.

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 so much more than dancing teenagers, although we do think that trend is here to stay! Dena reveals how to get the most out of TikTok's creator fund and when you should consider leaving it behind.

She discusses some of the most profitable creators and what makes them stand out on this competitive platform.Key Takeaways:[0:45] TikTok is the future of media![2:20]Testing the algorithm with Elite TikTok news[3:57] Stepping away from the business side of film and embracing the creativity of TikTok[6:00] If you want to be successful put your own spin on what successful creators are doing[7:23] Successful millennial TikTok influencers to pull inspiration from[10:15] The creator fund: creating something that has timeless longevity that you can grow[11:30] At the moment, Youtube has superior financial incentive for creators[17:55] How the algorithm fluctuates, catering to your likes and hiding unengaged content[19:00] Yes, there is a market for TikTok dance instructorsTo learn more about Dana, click on the links below:2oldforTikTok.com2 Old for TikTok PodcastPre-Order Legalpreneur the book here to receive:  Master class with Andrea, Legal Protection Playbook, and a Master Class Series with Experts.  Don't wait - Pre-Order Today!!!!Get Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?   We have THE solution for you, the Legal Protection Playbook!  Get started here.Links: Legalpreneur BookAndrea's Instagram Legalpreneur Instagram Website FacebookTwitter TikTokYouTube_____Disclaimer: The Legalpreneur Podcast is advertising/marketing material.

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 employeesPre-Order Legalpreneur the book here to receive:  Master class with Andrea, Legal Protection Playbook, and a Master Class Series with Experts.  Don't wait - Pre-Order Today!!!!Get Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?   We have THE solution for you, the Legal Protection Playbook!  Get started here. Links: Legalpreneur BookAndrea's Instagram Legalpreneur Instagram Website FacebookTwitter TikTokYouTube _____Disclaimer: The Legalpreneur Podcast is advertising/marketing material.
