Doing anything worthwhile will usually entail some pretty difficult or boring moments at some point or quite a lot of points. You’re much more likely to be successful with anything you do, if something that fundamentally interests you. AUTOMATE THE BORING STUFF When doing something find parts that really don't interest you and take up your time, these will often be holding you back from reaching your potential. You want to find ways to automate them as much as possible. For a bootstrapped entrepreneur this might not be possible straight away but it should be one of your highest priorities as soon as you have the budget. If you can automate your admin and accounts and stuff that just takes your time and isn’t that interesting you can spend more time doing the interesting thing that delivers value and thus build a better business or get more experience in whatever it is you are trying to do. If it turns out the hard boring thing you want to automate is the critical part of the idea or skill that you are working on then clearly this wasn’t a thing that interests you and you should be doing something else. BE SELECTIVE OF YOUR CO-FOUNDERS OR CO-WORKERS Don’t work with anyone just because they sound like they have the right skills. You need to know that you can deeply trust this person, that you both have the same long term goals and that you have the complementary skills. (and also that they don’t have a shady history) So If you don’t already know someone it might be better to work in a non-binding agreement as a test first to see if you really both have the same goals and interests and that it will work long term. It can really help you avoid a messy breakup or issues of silent co-founders dragging you down and of course, hefty legal fee’s to deal with the problem. Richard is doing himself out of a job here. But as he says he would be much rather be helping you scale your business up anyway. BONUS TIP: THINK ABOUT YOUR RISKS His business failure lead to some huge lessons. Don’t take too many loans and leave yourself exposed. Don’t have one point of failure just because a market seems so strong doesn’t mean it will be that way tomorrow. Hedge some of your bets and choose a niche that will be resilient to change.

It is the real-life version of the movie Trading Places but with 23 participants in the experiment instead of just Eddie Murphy. It sounds like a lot of fascinating insight into the world of trading and redefining What people think of as inherent talent vs. What is just following standard procedures. Subscribe!

Don't fall victim to the laws of the world wide web! Internet Law 101 With Richard Chapo from www.SocalInternetLawyer.com As the internet continues to become a greater part of our lives, so does the legalities that surround the ever-expanding ‘world-wide-web'. It's amazing (and kind of scary) to think how far the internet has come since it was launched in the eighties and made available to everybody in the nineties.  It's really only been around for 30 years and to think where it is currently and where it might be in the next 30 years is kind of terrifying. Most of us use the internet on a daily basis. In fact, most of us depend on it. I literally couldn't imagine life without it. I know for certain both of my businesses would collapse without it. Imagine how many others would be in the same boat? Even as plumbers, electricians and builders, our leads and operations depend on Internet-based systems. Invoicing, management, communications, and a million other things. But what about the laws that relate to the internet? How many of us are on top of internet law. More to the point, how many of us are currently breaking those laws and don't even realise it? In this podcast, I'm speaking with internet lawyer, Richard Chapo about the forever threatening legalities that surround the internet and the way we use it.  From email marketing through to the dark web, this podcast covers a vast array of really interesting topics that I'm sure you'll all get a lot out of. Enjoy the show and enjoy the internet…safely.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s bothered me for a while that over the 5 years or so of this podcast, we haven’t focused very much on some corners of the history. For example… the legal side? Copyright law? Intellectual property law? How much have we talked about disruption and piracy and filesharing and all that stuff? So, I spoke to Richard Chapo, who has been doing Internet Law since the web went mainstream. We talk about the Napster era, we talk about how much of an influence the adult industry had on digital law, we talk about the state of digital law today, and actually, a whole bunch of contemtorary law stuff like GDPR. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The World Wide Web is becoming less worldly and more geographically isolated.  As technology keeps evolving, individual countries are creating conflicting jurisdictions across the world. Lawyer, Richard Chapo’s back-story is just as interesting as any legal based TV program and …

How can you avoid the “crap your pants” copyright infringement letter? In this episode, we find this out and more with Richard Chapo, ESQ,  Founder of SoCalInternetLawyer.com. He shares with us the types of entrepreneurs the inspire him. He goes on to explain why its important for entrepreneurs that create content to comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act or DCMA. Richard also shares his time working in the adult film industry. He goes on talking about working with Pat Flynn, his appetite for traveling,  and trying not to get attack by mountain lions when he goes for a walk. He even shares his take on the recent controversy surrounding Fortnite.  After the break, Richard shares with us steps you should take when starting an online business. He later talks about how when he first started out he wanted to be a traditional lawyer but later opted to take a different direction. Lastly, he shares with us why his superpower is staying focused.  Richard Chapo, located in San Diego, CA is an Internet business lawyer who has been practicing law since 1992 and specializes in helping online entrepreneurs avoid “Crap Your Pants” copyright infringement letters and other threats when operating online. He's traveled extensively around the world, having lived in Siberia in Russia for a year as well as spent time in much of Europe, Central America, and Asia.  He enjoys working on internet legal issues for small business owners because the web is clearly the dominant force in our lives and most entrepreneurs have no idea that you can't do things like the post someone else's photo on your site or use someone else's music in your YouTube video without permission. Richard also helps his clients learn how to operate their business online in light of the new trend of countries enacting laws that are dividing up the web. It's not surprising that Richard would be knowledgeable about how different governments around the world are causing problems online considering how much time he spent wandering around Russia and Asia for a year.  Richard is unique in that he's totally aware that the law is a pretty boring subject. That's why he tries to liven up subjects with humor and by providing specific examples of where well-known companies online have run into the problems he is discussing. Richard's goal is to entertain your listeners instead of scaring them to death. Since the recording of this episode, Richard found the Fortnite case so fascinating that he created content to help explain the case. Check out the video here! Need to contact Richard?

I had a friend who was married to a lawyer. She joked that when she was having trouble falling asleep, she’d ask her husband to talk about copyright law. Apparently, it worked way better (and faster) than taking a melatonin supplement. ;-) In all seriousness, copyright law is an important topic when you’re a freelancer writing for clients. For this podcast episode, I’ve brought in Internet business lawyer Richard Chapo to give us the scoop on how we can protect ourselves from the most common (and avoidable!) copyright pitfalls. As dull as this topic can be, Richard makes it interesting, relevant and engaging. He also illustrates many of his points with specific and useful examples, which I found extremely helpful. So I urge you to give this episode a listen.

On today’s episode of Just the Tips, Dean and I punch above our weight a bit by having Richard Chapo, a lawyer specializing in internet law for businesses, on the show. Richard is a business lawyer in San Diego who has been practicing for 25 years and advises small and large online businesses on how best to comply with laws applicable to conducting business online. We dig into some pretty gnarly legal stuff this week, including GDPR, collecting sales tax, and what's up with Apple and its back taxes. This is a great episode of Just the Tips that you won’t want to miss. What is an Internet lawyer? Sometimes the Internet may feel like a lawless land, so I had to ask Richard what he means when he calls himself an Internet lawyer. And he said that when he started out, it was just a pretty simple thing, but it’s become increasingly complex over the years, including sophisticated privacy statutes like GDPR, shifting sales tax questions and copyright issues. If you have an online business, or even just an online component to your business (as many do), you need to listen to this week’s episode of Just the Tips. What do business owners need to watch out for online? Richard, of course, watches the space closely for any legal issues that may pop up, and it’s fascinating to hear him run through examples big and small of mistakes people make online. He cited everything from Apple owing massive back taxes in Europe, to very small companies making mistakes early on that become huge problems as they scale, to casinos failing to properly disclose information in promotional videos. The legal world is, as always, a minefield, but luckily Richard knows where the mines are buried. This is truly a unique and fascinating episode of Just the Tips. What do businesses have to do with GDPR? Of course one of the most prominent laws impacting online businesses this year has been GDPR, the General Data Protection Regulation passed in the EU focused on data protection and privacy. As Richard says, the right to privacy in the EU is as valued as the right to free speech in the U.S., and GDPR is the enforcement of that right. As Richard says, a company’s decision to comply with GDPR should be based on the cost of compliance. If you have only 10 sales in the EU, but the cost of compliance is $10,000, maybe it makes more sense to not sell in the EU than comply with GDPR. We think of the Internet as a worldwide thing, but regulations like GDPR could actually segment it. Really interesting stuff from Richard on this week’s episode of Just the Tips. Supreme Court and the state sales tax One of the big decisions to impact businesses that sell online was South Dakota v. Wayfair, a case heard by the Supreme Court in June. As Richard says, the legal precedent on whether businesses in one state that sell to another state have to pay the sales tax in that other state came from the 1970s and was based on catalog sales. And it held that businesses did not have to pay that sales tax. But things have changed, in June the Supreme Court reversed that decision. What does that mean for your business? Well, Just the Tips is always here for the free legal advice, so you have to listen to this episode! Outline of This Episode [3:28] What is an Internet lawyer?

In today's episode of the Bulletproof Entrepreneur podcast, we chat with Richard Chapo aka The Socal Internet Lawyer. Richard started his entrepreneurial journey around the turn of the century when the Dotcom boom was just hitting its stride. He and a partner worked on several projects helping entrepreneurs navigate the new and exciting challenges that arose as a result of the opportunities created by the internet. Coming from a wrongful death/ healthcare law background, Richard realized that his true calling lay in helping people building things that have lasting impact and value to the society. These days Richard spends his time working with entrepreneurs and solopreneurs as a trusted advisor and counselor. He consults on issues ranging from business entity formation and incorporation, copyright infringement, DMCA compliance and implementation, legal matters concerning ownership content created by third party providers and lots more. In this discussion we talked about what led him down the path of entrepreneurship, the five top challenges startups face from a legal perspective, use of equity as payment for service providers like lawyers and consultants, etc. Richard has come a long way from his early days as a young lawyer trying to climb the corporate ladder and has acquired some battle scars of entrepreneurship that have given him a unique perspective on work, life and finding happiness in your vocation. He's also experienced some pretty hilarious and scary situations like the time he and a friend went on a road trip in Siberia, Russia and their driver turned out to be a crusty one-eyed man. I had a lot of fun in this episode, and I believe there are many nuggets of wisdom you can learn from Richard. So listen, learn and execute.
