Musings From Your Favorite Attorney
Are you hiding from success? Are you holding back on your big hairy audacious plans? It may be because fear of success is
real. If you become successful at what you do, it will inevitably bring change and that can be scary. You may wonder, will success mean you are so busy that your relationships with family and friends suffer? As you allow yourself to step fully into your authenticity, will people not like you anymore? Will they think you
are selfish? Or some other negative identity that you don't want? Here's the honest truth - if we aren't changing, we aren't living. The minute you stop growing and learning and striving to be the best version of YOU, is the minute you start dying. So go ahead and claim your success. Make the world a better place by bringing to life
what only you have to offer. And how everyone else will think or feel about your success? That is their problem, not yours. Try not to waste any time worrying about it! If they can't still love you as you step fully into your best self, they probably aren't worth your time or attention. You deserve to do this for
you! “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." ~ Marianne Williamson
It's time to step into the light. Until next time. With
gratitude, Cheri

Trademark Search BEFORE Adoption What is a Trademark search and why do you need one? A comprehensive trademark search finds any potential for trademark infringement claims against your intended mark and any barriers to registration of your intended mark. The search looks not only at the exact mark you intend to use, but also marks that may look or sound alike, have the same meaning, have a similar commercial impression, are in related goods or services, or may cause a likelihood of confusion. The trademark search CAN'T wait! Before you spend your first dime developing your brand identity, put on the brakes! You need to ensure your intended brand identity isn’t already being used by someone else in your industry. You don’t want to spend thousands building your business, only to have to start over. Potential brand
Identity assets must be researched before you adopt them. To learn more about how to conduct a trademark search (and why you may want legal help), read my blog post!

Corporate Transparency Act Workshop Avoid hefty fines and prison time! Get compliant with the Corporate Transparency Act! Do you know how it affects you as a small business owner? Do you know how to be compliant with FinCEN BOIR reporting? If this all sounds like gibberish to you, I've got you covered! Here's your formal
invitation to the Corporate Transparency Act Workshop where you'll learn what exactly this new regulation is and how it affects you as a small business. In this half-hour workshop, you will learn - what the Corporate Transparency Act
is,
- why you WANT to be compliant,
- what you need to do to be compliant with the Act,
- and what information you'll need to fill out the Beneficial Owner Information
Reporting (BOIR) for yourself, or provide to me to fill it out on your behalf.
I'll also walk you through the BOIR on the FinCEN website, so you can feel comfortable filling out the form on your own. In just a half-hour, you'll
have all the information you need to get compliant with this new legislation! This is a small group workshop, so seats are limited. The workshop will be held via Zoom and requires advance registration. There are several different sessions to choose from! Register now to save your seat!

As small business owners, we are constantly learning. I read probably two to three business books a month. I thought I'd start highlighting some of my favorites as recommendations! First up is this brand new
anthology from Highlander Press! Debuting as an Amazon #1 Best-Seller in two categories, Heart-Centered Marketing: Proven Strategies That Naturally Attract and Nurture Clients is written by women entrepreneurs for women entrepreneurs. If marketing isn't your first language and you'd
really like to up your game, this book includes contributions from Twenty-One women authors - all of whom are experts in their own field! And even better, I personally know and can vouch for the skills of about half of them! I would love to see more business books written by women. Because honestly, women approach business differently than
men. And we need books that are written for the way we do business. I'm doing my small part in making that happen with the upcoming publication of the second edition of Smooth Sailing: An Essential Guide to Legally
Protecting Your Business that launches on May 2nd. I need launch partners to help me get this book in front of as many small business owners as I can! Can I count on your help to spread the word? Click below and
fill out your information to get on my launch partner list.

#SimpleAbundance Reflect on the role that rhythm plays in your daily life. "Think of the steady, reassuring rhythm of the natural world - the ebb and
flow of tides, the recurring cycle of the four seasons, the monthly phases of the moon, and the daily progression from day into night." If you can bring some of that natural rhythm into your daily life, it can bring you contentment and a sense of well-being. Let's Talk Legal, my private Facebook Group, is a place to discuss the
legal aspects of running a small business in an open, honest, supportive community of like-minded small business owners. If you are a member, engage! Ask questions, share business advice, join in discussions, invite your fellow business owners! If you aren't a member join now... We'd love to welcome you!
