Don’t end up with a legal mullet. 💇
A client told me recently…
“I’ve talked to 6 lawyers so far, including several family friends who are lawyers, but NONE of them are familiar with health coaching. I’ve also talked to Board and certified coaches and they don’t know the answers to my legal questions either. I’m sooooo glad I found you!”
I said, “Are you kidding me? 6 lawyers! I’m so sorry. That’s incredibly frustrating.”
You’d be surprised how many times clients tell me they have trouble finding lawyers who get what they do. They give up looking and then hear about me from a friend or their coach and come to me and ask:
❓”I whipped up my own Website Disclaimer. Am I good to go?”
❓”I copied a Client Agreement I found on the web. Does that count?”
❓”My business coach didn’t bother with a contract. Do I really need one?”
And just like in that spine-tingling Jordan Peele movie, my response is a resounding “Nope!”
Why, you ask?
Well, let’s unpack it:
💰 First off, let’s talk money. Without a clear refund policy, you might find yourself hemorrhaging cash, forced to refund clients even when you want to say “no.”
✂️ Second, imagine editing legal documents like giving yourself a DIY haircut. You might end up with a legal mullet when you were aiming for a sleek bob. Not a good look,eh?
😸 Third, beware of copycats! Without the right intellectual property language, your content could be swiped faster than you can say “cease and desist.” (I’ve seen this too many times to count. Even today a seasoned coach came to me because part of her website was copied word for word. It breaks my heart every time.💔)
Don’t beat yourself up for the past in trying to do the best you can.
But don’t put off getting your legal documents in order so you can actually protect yourself.
