    All About Being a 5-Star Airbnb Host & Running a Successful Short-Term Rental Business with Annette Grant & Sarah Karakaian

    Are you (looking to become) an Airbnb host? This episode is about how you do it like an industry expert. Tune in to find out more!   Episode Introduction:  In this week’s episode of Law Chat with Girija, we’re joined by short-term renting superstars Annette Grant & Sarah Karakaian from Thanks to Visiting who talk to us about all things STR and how to be a successful host.   Episode Summary:  Annette Grant & Sarah Karakaian talk to us about everything from preparing your property for STR to becoming a 5-star rated Airbnb host and everything in between. This episode is truly jam-packed with value for anyone who’s looking to venture into the short-term rental industry.   Main Takeaways: Some of the best Airbnb markets are not vacation rental markets. Don’t think you can’t run a successful Airbnb simply because you don’t live in a vacation spot. There are countless reasons for people to visit smaller towns and they could really benefit from your service. When figuring out how your STR property should look, start by considering the places you like to stay at and why. Financial success in the STR industry is a result of compounding reviews over a period of time. You need to be transparent with your insurance provider about the intended use of your STR property to get the proper coverage and stay protected as the host. The type of property you rent out doesn’t dictate the type of host you become. How to become a 5-star rated Airbnb Host in 2023: Be transparent about your property. Do not cancel on the guest once the booking has been made. Set clear expectations about the property location. Check-in with the guests. The property must be clean and hygienic. Ensure the safety of the guests. Anticipate the needs of the guest. Have a factor of surprise and delight. Stay in your own property and fix any problems that you may face. While it’s okay to host through platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, etc. - it’s recommended that you also have your own website and build an email list to generate new leads.   Resources:  The Hosting Business Mastery Method™ Free Workshop: https://www.thanksforvisiting.me/workshop   Find Annette Grant & Sarah Karakaian:   Email: hi@thanksforvisiting.me Website: https://www.thanksforvisiting.me/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thanksforvisiting_/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thanksforvisiting Podcast: https://www.thanksforvisiting.me/podcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thanks-for-visiting/   Get the visual experience, watch the videocast for the episode here: https://youtu.be/-dIQLX92gbk   Connect With Girija: Website: https://www.gbplaw.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gbplaw/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GBPLaw/   Help us mentor other entrepreneurs through the power of storytelling by rating us and leaving a positive review on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/law-chat-with-girija/id1528580730   Get the FREE Five-Day Legal Audit: https://yourcontractbuddy.com/5-day-free-legal-audit-challenge/   Join Law Chat for Entrepreneurs Free Facebook Community: ​​https://www.facebook.com/groups/lawchat   Get Ready To Use Contract Templates At: https://yourcontractbuddy.com/

    Starting a Company & Forming a Business Partnership: Things to Keep in Mind

    Starting a business with a partner? Tune in for insight on essential steps you need to take in order to make it work!   Episode Introduction:  In this week’s episode of Law Chat with Girija, we’re talking about forming a business partnership and what needs to be taken care of before you do so in order for the partnership to be a long-term success.   Episode Summary:  Girija Patel walks you through some super practical tips on steps you and your business partner(s) should be taking in order to ensure that you’re protecting your personal interest while you work towards growing the business. There’s information in this episode about important contract clauses to include, what to avoid, and tasks you can do to maintain the business relationship.   Main Takeaways: The role of the Partnership Agreement is to manage the expectations of all the parties involved in a business setup so that there's complete clarity on what's to be done, when, and by whom. Identify the areas that you and your partners will be looking over in the business and put them in writing in the company agreement. It’s not always advisable to have 50-50 partnerships because that can lead to an impasse. Hire a lawyer who represents your individual interest in the partnership. Have the intellectual property ownership details outlined in the company agreement. Your partnership agreement should clearly state the terms of exiting the business relationship. When looking at a potential business partner, ensure that your values align with theirs.  Get the correct classifications for your business that can benefit you in the long run. Have regular meetings with your partners and your teams to stay in sync.

    Ways to Facilitate the Exit of an Employee or Independent Contractor from Your Company

    Facilitate the exit of an employee or independent contractor with ease. Tune in to find out how!   Episode Introduction:  This episode is the ultimate guide on navigating the sticky situation that every entrepreneur faces when an employee or independent contractor exits a business relationship.   Episode Summary:  In this week’s episode of Law Chat with Girija, we talk about five action steps that you can take in order to ensure that when an employee or independent contractor exits your business, you have systems set in place to make the transition smooth and error-free.   Main Takeaways: Set expectations of how you want your business operations to function at the beginning of a relationship. Ensure that you have a list of all the passwords that your team members are using to operate your business accounts on different platforms. Have your employee/ independent contractor SOPs set up so that you follow a standardized procedure each time and don’t miss out on a crucial step. Maintain a running list of all of the tasks that each employee/ independent contractor is performing for your business. When there’s noticeable contention in a business relationship, make sure there’s documentation to back it up. When you integrate good practices into your business from the beginning, they grow with you instead of you having to implement them suddenly when there’s an issue at hand. Ensure that you secure all your confidential information and change passwords that an employee/ independent contractor exiting the position has had access to for security reasons. If the person leaving the company was in a client or vendor-facing role, inform said clients and/ or vendors that the person is no longer representing your company and redirect them to their new point of contact. Have a termination contract that outlines the terms of the exit.   Help us mentor other entrepreneurs through the power of storytelling by rating us and leaving a positive review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/law-chat-with-girija/id1528580730   Get the FREE Five-Day Legal Audit: https://yourcontractbuddy.com/5-day-free-legal-audit-challenge/   Get the visual experience, watch the videocast for this episode: https://youtu.be/7m7XEVdAW60   Connect With Girija: Website: https://www.gbplaw.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gbplaw/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GBPLaw/   Get Ready To Use Contract Templates At: https://yourcontractbuddy.com/

    Reassessing the Year & Planning for 2023 - Shifts, Strategies & Systems

    Spoiler Alert: Major announcement inside!   Episode Introduction:  Tune in to our final episode for 2023 as we reassess the past year and plan for the one ahead.   Episode Summary:  In this week’s episode of Law Chat with Girija, we talk about strategies to assess 2022 as well as plan for the new year in an intentional manner. We also discuss practical ways to reduce your overwhelm moving forward and eliminate things that aren’t serving your growth. Listen in and plan along!   Main Takeaways: Reassess your year in terms of seasons - what were your seasons of joy, overwhelm, burnout, and celebration. Understand how you want to recalibrate moving forward to do more of what you enjoy and eliminate what didn’t bring you happiness.  Plan your busy seasons in advance so that you’re not worried about juggling multiple things at once. Be realistic when you plan out your week or day so that you’re not setting yourself up for failure and then later ending up feeling guilty about not checking everything off of your list. When you realize you're holding on to something only because you're used to it and not because you truly need it, it's time to let it go. Ask yourself the following questions as you reassess your year: What worked well and why? What didn’t work and why? What needs to stay and what needs to go? What needs to be done by you and what needs to be delegated?   Help us mentor other entrepreneurs through the power of storytelling by rating us and leaving a positive review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/law-chat-with-girija/id1528580730   Get the FREE Five-Day Legal Audit: https://yourcontractbuddy.com/5-day-free-legal-audit-challenge/   Join Law Chat for Entrepreneurs Free Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lawchat/   Get the visual experience, watch the videocast for this episode: https://youtu.be/LuRhdcGO8S0   Connect With Girija: Website: https://www.gbplaw.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gbplaw/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GBPLaw/   Get Ready To Use Contract Templates At: https://yourcontractbuddy.com/
