Covered in this episode of Legally Sound Smart Business are some typical business mistakes blunders small businesses often make and how to avoid them. Blunder #1: Copying/Pasting Agreements It may sound like a good idea at the time, but this blunder comes with hidden pitfalls. Having an attorney draft terms that are specific to your company's products and needs can actually save your company substantial time, money, and avoidable liability. If you choose to forego an attorney, at the least, read the terms line-by-line, to ensure that you understand everything. If there is something you don't understand, you should not be using it. Blunder #2: Creating a brand without doing research on the name One of the worst things that can happen to a new business is for the owners to spend a substantial amount of time and money promoting a certain name, only to find out it's already being used. Even if they haven't registered a trademark, someone might own the rights simply because they were using it first. At the very least, a Google search is an absolute must. A recommended search engine that does a worlwide search can be found here: https://www3.wipo.int/branddb/en/. Blunder #3: Misclassification of workforce It is one of the most common blunders, yet the negative effects of misclassification can be staggering. One worker claim can trigger an audit of your entire workforce by any number of state and federal agencies. These agencies have the right to issue heavy penalties and interest on taxes and wages, liens, and even injunctions. Businesses can still be subject to crippling class-action suits with multi-million dollar consequences. Err on the side of classifying as an employee and assume the employee is non-exempt. Blunder #4: Partnership/Contract not signed by all parties After spending time discussing the terms of your partnerships, make sure you get in writing--and do not commit blunder #1 by just copying and pasting an operating agreement found online. Blunder #5: Not documenting employee performance Documentation provides evidence that supports management decisions to take unfavorable action such as discipline or termination with an employee. This was discussed in our previous episode 311. Transcript: Full Podcast TranscriptNASIR: Today, we are covering blunders in the business world. We're not just talking about a mere mistake. MATT: It's a matter of cost and time. NASIR: To me, a blunder in business can result in substantial liability or exposure or cost or time. MATT: That's when the target on your back gets a lot bigger. NASIR: Don't do it. [INTRO SONG] This is Legally Sound Smart Business where your hosts Nasir Pasha and Matt Staub cover business in the news and add their awesome legal twist. Legally Sound Smart Business is a podcast brought to you by Pasha Law PC – a law firm representing your business in California, Illinois, New York, and Texas. Here are your hosts, Nasir Pasha and Matt Staub. NASIR: All right. Welcome to our podcast! Today, we are covering blunders in the business world. This is where businesses make huge mistakes – blunders if you will – that can really cost their business in more ways than one. MATT: Yeah, and I didn't tell you about this beforehand, but I actually reached out to Bob Saget to see if we could have our own separate episode. NASIR: Bob Saget? MATT: Top blunders. NASIR: That's bloopers! Oh. You mean, America's Funniest Home Videos. MATT: Yeah. NASIR: Of course, a classic. MATT: I mean, to me, that's a form of blunders, but maybe you disagree. NASIR: Well, I would say it's just as entertaining. Maybe from our perspective, perhaps our clients or other businesses may not agree, but I think, if we had everything on recording – well, we have it recording now. We could talk about it and submit this tape to Bob. What about that? MATT: Yeah. I mean, I think it's been, like, two decades since the show has been aired.

Learning from Business Blunders You’ve heard that often repeated definition of insanity right? Insanity is “Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Could you be falling into that same trap in your business? Don’t get lulled into complacency! If you want to succeed as a leader, you’ve got to be constantly learning and evaluating your process and approach. One of the best ways to learn is to study not only the successful leaders but also the ones who failed to change and adapt, in order to learn from their mistakes. On this episode of #SellingWithSocial, Shawn and I discuss several key lessons from his book, “Business Blunders” so leaders like you can walk away with tangible steps you can take to learn from the mistakes of others. Don’t miss out on the valuable insights that Shawn has to share on this episode! Planning for Change in Your Business What is your attitude toward change? Do you love it and embrace it or do you run for the hills? As a business leader, you have to be willing to confront the subject of change if you want to see your team succeed! A huge reason why many business blunders occur can be traced back to a poor plan for change. On this episode of #SellingWithSocial, Shawn explains how leaders like you can put plans in place for the inevitable changes that your organization will need to face. Shawn focus in on why leaders need to take the time to think and plan ahead regarding the direction of their company. He speaks from his experience as a lawyer where he’s seen many businesses face unnecessary hardship when key leaders or owners step away from the business with no plan in place for succession or filling those vacancies. Don’t miss this episode as Shawn expands on this topic and much more! Don’t Put all of Your Eggs in One Basket! Do you know where the majority of your income comes from? Is your organization reliant on the business of one client or a small subset of clients? What about talent? Is everyone performing at the same level or do you only have one or two high performers who keep the rest of the team afloat? On this episode of #SellingWithSoical, you’ll hear from Shawn as he walks through the necessity of diversification to avoid the business blunder of putting all of your eggs in one basket. Shawn emphasizes why leaders like you need to do a thorough evaluation of your business to identify areas susceptible to sudden shifts in the marketplace or personnel changes. Take this opportunity to learn from the business blunders of others who have gone before! Don’t miss this pivotal episode!
