Today I’m talking to Christina Scalera of The Contract Shop!

As an intellectual property lawyer attorney, Christina uses her legal expertise to provide legal help to fellow creatives in the form of contract templates.

I love Christina’s story of how she started her business because of a friend’s encouragement and how she has grown her business to what it is today. She shares about her growing pains and is transparent about the hard parts.

As creatives, we often run for the woods when we hear the word “legal!” But Christina helps us break things down and explains what we can do now in our businesses so that our future selves will thank us.

Christina covers:

• Step 1 should be to establish your business boundaries and use those to inform the agreements that you put in place

• What to do when things go wrong with a client

• Contracts, separating banking accounts, and business insurance

• Outsourcing and automation

• Getting things done and scaling using the layering technique

Legal advice doesn’t have to be so dry! Let this episode help you lay a good foundation for your growing business.
