I would like all entrepreneurs to look at Trademarks and Copyrights as business insurance”
I love sharing my knowledge with strong, women entrepreneurs to help them realize their boss business goals! I sat down with Dr. Kimmy on the Productive on Purpose Podcast to cover HOW to protect your intellectual property. We chat about the basics including what the differences are between trademarks and copyrights, the process involved in deciding on and registering your business trademarks/copyrights, and how to leverage your intellectual property as assets. Check my link in the bio or head over to Productive on Purpose to listen to my full episode (#50)!

During this episode I discuss what you should ask BEFORE you hire a lawyer for your business Ask yourself….. 1. What is my communication style? Are you a text-er? Do you want quick/immediate responses? Do you prefer phone conversations? Know yourself and find a lawyer that is in alignment with your communication style. Get really clear on expectations when it comes to their policies as it pertains to email responses, returned calls, voicemails, text messages, etc. Most relationships succeed when communication is understood and set as a priority. During a consultation with a lawyer, ask how they prefer to communicate with their clients. If you really prefer text, there is a lawyer for you. If you prefer to talk it out, there is also a lawyer that will do the same. Knowing your communication style before hiring a lawyer should be top priority. 2. Am I ready to make decisions? Your lawyer is your legal advisor. They are not in a position to make the decisions for you. Your lawyer will present options; let you know the risk of those options, and then you (yes you) have to make the final decision. Many times in business, lawyers will present options that all have their own risks (the risk may be legal, financial, reputational, or a combination of the 3). It is ultimately up to the business owner to make the decision, and then, your lawyer will execute the proposed option. 3. Do I believe in my business? You must be 100% committed to the mission of your business. You must believe that your business adds value to your industry and provides a unique experience or perspective for your potential clients. When you truly believe in your business, making tough decisions won’t be an issue for you; and it is easier to accept some risk (there is no business without risk). Believing in your business is critical to its ultimate success. So of course, when you’re ready to hire a lawyer give me a call. You can schedule a free consultation here! |
