A childhood obsession with pigs led Berkley to becoming an attorney. During law school, she started a blog for legal education, which led to a contract template side business. Then the side business she started became her passion and she stepped away from being an attorney.
In today's episode, we talk with Berkley Sweetapple, an Entreprenista with a legal contract template business. Berkley shares with us the mistakes she's made and the lessons she's learned, the legal protections Entreprenistas MUST know, how to create content that converts, and so much more. If you have any legal questions about starting a business, this is THE episode to listen to!
"So that is one of the reasons why I wanted to create contracts that I use in my, in my law firm, you know, with one on one clients, and that I would charge maybe 1500 to draft from scratch, but have them be more in the $300 range so that entrepreneurs can DIY things that are DIY viable." - Berkley Sweetapple
