Behind the scenes: 5 day list building challenge (S5E170)
We love helping our clients get their legal house in order, but sometimes when we introduce a new service, contract template, or marketing initiative at the AWB Firm, we have to be our own lawyers, too!

How to build your email list legally (S5E169)
If you've been in business for any amount of time, you've probably heard about (or seen firsthand) the value in building your email list. No matter how large a following you may build on a social media platform, that following isn't owned by you - it's owned by the platform, and they can change who sees your content on a dime. But an email list? That's all yours! And it can be a great way to get to know your audience and them, you. But with all the talk about Privacy Policies, GDPR, cookies, and more, how are you supposed to build your list and stay out of legal trouble? In this episode, we'll cover: Why email lists have become increasingly valuable in online business Who has to comply with the EU's GDPR privacy regulations What you need to know about cookies on your website Why you shouldn't make promises, especially about earnings or weight loss, in your list building freebies or opt-ins Whether or not you need to include an affiliate disclaimer if you're promoting someone else's list building challenge BONUS: If you're starting something new, or this episode has spotlighted areas of your business that have you worried, now is a great time to make sure your business is in good shape legally.

Planning for 2021 financial success with Stephanie Skryzowski (S5E168)
Finances and legal are like four-letter words for most entrepreneurs. You know you need to have a grasp on them to run a successful business, but the amount of things you don't know about finances and legal makes you want to bury your head in the sand. In this episode, I brought on CFO consultant and founder of 100 Degrees Consulting, Stephanie Skryzowski, to share some of her best practices and advice for entrepreneurs when it comes to getting a handle on the financial side of business. In this episode, we'll cover: Why you shouldn't run your business based solely on the money you have in your bank account (i.e., what cashflow is and why you need to pay attention to it!) How widely profit margin can vary among different industries and service providers and how often you should review yours Some helpful advice for hiring new team members How a cobbled together contract ended up costing Stephanie five months of pay Stephanie's best practices for coming up with your business's financial plan for 2021 The difference between a forecast and a budget (and why a budget can actually be freeing!)

DON'T launch before you do this one thing (S5E165)
Preparing to launch or run a year-end (I see you coming Black Friday / Cyber Monday) promotion involves a lot of moving parts. It can be easy for things that may seem less important to fall through the cracks, but tightening up your contracts shouldn't be one of them. Learn what you need to know about getting your contracts in shape before your launch or year-end promotion, including a few tips to keep in mind that are specific to 2020 (because, you know… it's 2020 🙄).

You can't say that! Use testimonials the right way (S5E164)
Testimonials, endorsements, and more. Whatever form it takes, you know that being able to share your customers' success from purchasing your product or online course is one of the most powerful ways to drive sales, especially during year-end promotions. But the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) actually has quite a few guidelines about how your customers' words and experiences can be presented as you market your business, and if you don't follow them, the penalties could be steep. In this episode, we'll cover: Who needs to comply with FTC regulations What the penalties could be if you don't comply What you can and cannot include in testimonials or other social proof Everything you need to know about using experts or celebrities to promote your product The specific language you need to use in your disclaimers (fair warning: you're not going to like it!) Whether or not you should add an earnings disclaimer on your website and what it should say BONUS: If you're starting something new, or this episode has spotlighted areas of your business that have you worried, now is a great time to make sure your business is in good shape legally.
