#100 Thinking of DIYing or Skipping Legal Advice?
What if the legal risks you’re worried about in business aren’t the biggest problem… it’s the ones you didn’t know to look for? In this milestone 100th episode, I’m joined by small business lawyer and strategist Tracey Mylecharane for a conversation that’s been a long time coming. We’re talking about the real issues we both see too often. Misaligned expectations, poor client onboarding, and the ripple effect that happens when legals and numbers are overlooked.
Tracey breaks down the legal gaps business owners don’t realise are costing them time, money, and energy. We also chat about how working together (yep, she’s our client too) has shifted her perspective on her finances and made running her business feel clearer and more grounded.
If you’ve been relying on templates, winging it with contracts, or assuming your invoice terms are enough, this is the episode you didn’t know you needed. It’s packed with insights on what protects you legally, how to build strong systems, and why knowing your numbers goes hand in hand with sustainable growth.
This is the final episode on the podcast for now while I focus on other areas of the business, but it’s far from goodbye. And every conversation, insight and episode in the library is here for you to come back to whenever you need. You’re never doing it alone, and you were never meant to.
Here’s what’s covered:
- The most common legal problems Tracey sees and how to avoid them
- Why client onboarding sequencing matters more than most realise
- How your legal documents can actively support business growth
- The link between strong legal advice and financial clarity
- What changes when you stop DIYing your legals and your finance
