Building a business in the age of “information overload” is no easy feat. Sometimes, it can be nearly impossible to discern the helpful from the misleading. As a consultant, you are the intermediary that helps determine which information to listen to and which to avoid. That’s why working with consultants has become one of my absolute favorite parts of my job- I’ve seen the incredible impact that consultants can ...

This contract is a release that you must have if you are using someone’s biological information and photograph in your publication. Although it is a simple document, it lays out exactly what each party needs included, so that you are both protected.

This contract is, not-so-secretly, my favorite in the bunch; after all, it’s the contract I built and used for my own calligraphy business. Each provision in here is based off of a scenario that I didn’t just “hear about happening”, but that actually happened to me.

One of the first investments I made in my business was for a coach, and I will always be a strong advocate of bringing in that kind of sage wisdom. I’m always quick to recommend others do the same…as long as they’re hiring a pro.

Conference hosts, I don’t need to tell you: one of the steps in hosting a successful conference is making sure you and your attendees are speaking the same language for your conference.

The first step in hosting a successful conference is finding the right speakers for your conference. How do you ensure that your speakers will remain at the event the entire time? Exactly how many time is your speaker allowed to promote their product during their speech? Is everyone clear as to how much of the speaker’s speech can be shared later? 

All you wordsmiths out there…this is for you. I’m convinced that copy-writing is one of the best business ventures to enter into… its a service that every business needs, and not one every business owner can provide for themselves. 

Stationers, this is one of my favorite templates in the whole bunch. I drafted this contract back when I was still running my calligraphy business because as we all know, sometimes our stationery customers can be more than a little hard to please!

DJs, I don’t have to tell you this: you have one of the most important jobs at any event. Not only do you determine the flow and excitement of the entire reception, but what if you can’t do your job? Your role could make or break the whole event! 

Event coordinators, we all know your name alone is misleading (you are totally an event manager) – how many of your services are actually limited to just one day?

I’m not supposed to play favorites, but this is one of the most important templates in my entire shop.

This template is to be used in situations where your client (Whether they are a photography, calligraphy, design, etc) wants to use that work of art for extended licensing purposes. For example, did you take a great photo of your client, and they now want to use it in publication, or on a t-shirts, etc? They will need an extended license.

The legal concerns that a florist must deal with have always fascinated me: you have a harder job than most, in that you’re creating a final product for your client that they won’t be able to see until the job’s complete.

 Appropriate as an add-on provision for our Web Design Agreement    All “add-on provisions” are intended to be added to an existing Agreement.

You started your business because you loved what you do- not necessarily because you always wanted to be a business owner. If you’re anything like me, you probably picked up that calligraphy pen because you were looking for a creative outlet….and then one thing led to another, and people starting paying you for your work. You built a website. You started making a little money. And then you thought to yourself…whe...
