Paid, Protected & Profitable: How to Get Paid What You’re Worth and Protect Your Small Business

Most small business owners start by doing the work they love and assume they can deal with contracts, copyrights, and legal protection later. But later often comes after a client refuses to pay, keeps asking for more work, or uses something you created without permission. That's when the paperwork we kept putting off suddenly matters. In this conversation, I sit down with small business attorney Sharon Tasman of HTBiz Law to talk about practical ways business owners can protect their work, set clearer expectations, and get paid what they are worth. We discuss why promising to work until a client is “satisfied” can leave you responsible for unlimited revisions, why the person who provides the contract first often has an advantage, and how a simple copyright notice can help protect the things you create. We also talk about what business owners need to consider when using AI to help create written materials and why it matters how much of the final work came from you. You do not have to become a lawyer or try to anticipate every possible problem. But understanding a few legal basics now can save you a lot of confusion, money, and frustration later. GUEST BIO Sharon Tasman founded HTBiz Law because she believes high-quality legal advice should not be affordable only to large multinational corporations. After 30 years in law and more than a decade as the founder of a woman-owned small business, she understands the additional difficulties women and members of the BIPOC community can face when starting and growing a business. Her goal is to show business owners that legal guidance does not have to be scary and that well-written contracts can be a small business owner’s best friend. Be sure to grab Sharon's free Legal Essentials Roadmap at: https://roadmap.htbizlaw.com (The roadmap outlines six essential must-haves for starting and growing a business, along with simple, free actions you can take immediately to begin protecting yourself.) Her book, Paid, Protected & Profitable: The Small Business Owner’s Practical Guide and Workbook to Contracts, Protecting Your Work (and IP), and Getting Paid What You Are Worth, is available at: https://www.amazon.com/Paid-Protected-Profitable-Practical-Protecting/dp/1913206815/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0 Want to get in touch with Sharon?

Lead Through Chaos

Life can feel ridiculously chaotic, and motivation alone usually is not enough to carry you through it. If you have been trying to push through the hard stuff, this conversation will help you think differently about what it really means to lead through chaos. In this episode of Conversations Worth Your While, I sit down with Nicholas Strand, founder of Choose Your Attitude LLC, for a meaningful conversation about chaos, resilience, purpose, and the kind of inner foundation that helps us keep moving when life feels heavy. Together, Nick and I explore what it means to become more comfortable in the uncomfortable, how attitude and action work together, and why leading through chaos begins with knowing who you are. This conversation is not about pretending hard things are easy. It is about recognizing that the strength you need may already be within you, even if you have not had to rely on it this way before. As I share in this episode, life’s huge difficulties don't necessarily make you stronger. (Sometimes, they reveal just how strong you already are.) If you are someone moving through an uncertain season, a leader, entrepreneur, or high performer, this episode will help you pause, reflect, and consider your next right step. GUEST BIO Nicholas Strand is the founder of Choose Your Attitude LLC. After nearly 20 years leading production for artists including BLACKPINK, Sting, KISS, and Dave Matthews Band, Nick now helps overwhelmed founders, pressured leaders, and high performers turn chaos into forward motion. His Attitude + Action = Impact framework was inspired by the words of his late wife, Brianna: “Choose your attitude, create your life.” Today, Nick uses that philosophy, along with everything he learned leading teams through high-pressure situations, to help others move forward with greater intention and create meaningful impact. So you want to get in touch with Nick Strand?

When Your Personal Life Impacts Your Business

You can leave your desk, but you can't really leave your life. In this week's Conversation,s Worth Your While episode, Serena Mastin, founder of Pulse Marketing, joins me to talk about what actually happens when your personal life spills into your business, AND the five-part framework she uses to help people show up honest without falling apart. While most of us try to keep our personal lives private at work, they are never truly separate from our business lives, no matter how hard we try to keep the two apart. During this episode, my guest and I both share personal stories. You'll hear about Serena's childhood in witness protection, losing her husband while they ran a business together, and what it taught her about the difference between hiding and healing. As well as my own story of losing my husband suddenly twenty years ago, when I was raising three young kids alone and still had to show up at work the next week. I'll tell you about the boss who gave me the most generous gift I've ever received at work. If you have ever felt like you were wearing a mask just to get through a workday, this conversation is for you. GUEST BIO Serena Mastin is the founder of Pulse Marketing Inc. Pulse Marketing exists to help purpose-driven businesses grow the impact they were created to make. Serena and her team come alongside business owners as a trusted marketing partner, helping them attract the right customers, build authentic brands, and create sustainable growth.

The Hidden Tool You Have to Find Your True Path

If you've ever made a big decision and then spent months wondering whether you got it right, this conversation will give you a much simpler place to start looking for the answer. In this episode of Conversations Worth Your While, I sit down with Wayfinder life coach and somatic movement facilitator Arlyn Alderdice to talk about the body compass, the internal guidance system every one of us already carries, and almost none of us were taught to trust. Arlyn and I dig into what a genuine "yes" actually feels like in the body, what a hard "no" feels like, and the things that get in the way of hearing it clearly, from old trauma to well-meaning overthinking. GUEST BIO: Arlyn Alderdice is a Wayfinder Life Coach trained to incorporate Internal Family Systems Protocols in her work, as well as a SomaSource Leader trained as a Somatic Movement Facilitator. She helps people access their full being aliveness, access calm, and tap into the potency of their body wisdom, inner presence, and aligned clarity. So you want to connect with Arlyn?

How to Cultivate Unshakeable Confidence for a Regret-Free Life

If you have been waiting for the fear to disappear before you finally do the thing you really want to do, this conversation will completely change your thoughts about confidence. During this week on Conversations Worth Your While, I sit down with Nataliya Kapitanova of NK Coaching to talk about why so many of us get trained out of our own confidence somewhere between childhood and adulthood, and how to build it back, not by pushing through fear, but by learning to trust ourselves the way we would trust a good friend. Together, we explore reparenting your inner child, why meeting your own needs is the real foundation of self-trust, and the small mindset shift that changes everything. You are not afraid to fail. You are afraid to be seen trying. If you have been waiting for the fear to disappear before going after what you want, this conversation will show you why that day may never come, and why you do not need it to. GUEST BIO Nataliya Kapitanova is the founder of NK Coaching, where she helps women build the confidence to do the things they have been too afraid to try, so they can live full, regret-free lives. She approaches confidence as a byproduct of your relationship with yourself, rebuilding self-trust rather than simply pushing through fear. You want to get in touch with Nataliya?

Why Solopreneurs Feel So Alone (and How Storytelling Fixes It)

If you have ever felt like the only entrepreneur still guessing your way through pricing, networking, and plain old loneliness, this conversation is for you. This week on Conversations Worth Your While, I sit down with Trish Tonaj, founder of ShareYourStories.online, to talk about why solopreneur isolation is so common, and how sharing your real story, instead of handing out another business card, is becoming the actual engine behind warm referrals and small business visibility. We also get into the pricing conversation almost every entrepreneur avoids, and why your value has nothing to do with what your equipment costs you. If you left a corporate career to build something of your own, or you are simply tired of networking that feels like selling, this one will stick with you. GUEST BIO: Trish Tonaj is the founder and host of ShareYourStories.online, a platform built to help small business owners be seen, heard, found, and hired through authentic storytelling. Her values center on walking the walk of entrepreneurship, and she built ShareYourStories.online as a way to give back to the broader business community. So you want to get in touch with Trish?

How to Escape the Trap of Your Own Thoughts

Your mind replays the same painful scene, and you wonder why you can't just move on. It's exhausting when your thoughts run in circles, and it turns out the trap isn't the memory itself, it's how your brain stored it. In this episode of Conversations Worth Your While, I sit down with Dr. Pollyanna Chavez, NLP, hypnosis expert, and co-founder of Next Level Pro Institute, to explore how to escape the trap of your own thoughts. We get into how your brain encodes painful memories, why your mind keeps you looping through the same movies even when they hurt, and simple NLP techniques you can try in the next five minutes: pausing the mental movie, shrinking it down, and swapping the words can't, have to, and should for language that puts you back in choice. I also share my own decades in a place I call Victimville, the land of hoping and waiting, and the shifts that finally got me out. If overthinking, negative thought loops, or old memories have been running your life, this conversation will hand you the remote. GUEST BIO Dr. Pollyanna Chavez is the co-founder of Next Level Pro Institute. She co-founded the institute because she kept seeing talented, heart-centered practitioners doubt themselves when client results came slowly. Next Level Pro Institute trains them in applied NLP and hypnosis that they can use immediately, so their clients shift faster and they walk into every session with real confidence.
