A completely unserious list of things I take very seriously: BUSINESS OWNER EDITION

1. The difference between “okay,” “ok,” and “k.” Three entirely different messages.

2. People who tell stories out of chronological order. I’m going to need you to establish a timeline.

3. The audacity of a meeting that could’ve been a two-line email.

4. Having a cute notebook that I’m too scared to actually write in.

5. When someone says “long story short” and proceeds to tell a long story anyway.

6. Having 17 versions of the same document named FINAL, FINAL 2, FINAL ACTUAL, and FINAL FINAL USE THIS.

7. The moral dilemma of whether to use an exclamation mark in a professional email when I’ve already used three.

8. Wondering if the person reading this is going to tell me what they take way too seriously.

(Seriously, don’t leave me hanging!)

Your contract says “NO REFUNDS”
.. but does that actually mean you never have to issue one? 👀

Not quite ❌

Your no-refund policy isn’t a magic shield against every possible dispute and the circumstances matter just as much as the words in your agreement 💁🏻‍♀️

I’ve broken down 5 common refund request scenarios and how to approach each one.

PSA for all the creators doing brand collabs this holiday season 📢

That “we’d love to collaborate with you!” email might be exciting but can we talk about the contract attached to it? 👀

After reviewing my fair share of influencer and ambassador agreements, I can tell you that the payment amount is rarely the only thing worth negotiating.

Here are five things I’d look at VERY carefully before signing:

💁🏻‍♀️ Who actually owns the content?

You planned, filmed and edited that video. But did you agree to one campaign or give the brand unlimited rights to use it forever without paying you another cent?

Those are two VERY different deals.

💁🏻‍♀️ How far does exclusivity go?

Not promoting a direct competitor for 30 days? Reasonable. Not working with anyone in the same industry for an entire year? Now we have a problem.

Especially when “competitor” isn’t clearly defined.

💁🏻‍♀️ What happens if the brand cancels?

You’ve shot the content, hired a videographer and spent days editing. The brand scraps the campaign. Do you still get paid?

Without a cancellation fee (or kill fee), you might be left fighting for that money.

💁🏻‍♀️ How many revisions are included?

I have a particular issue with contracts that promise “reasonable revisions” without defining reasonable.

The brand might think eight rounds of edits are reasonable. You probably won’t. Put a number on it.

💁🏻‍♀️ When does the money hit your account?

A $5,000 collaboration sounds great until you notice the Net 90 payment terms.

That’s potentially three months of waiting after completing your obligations. Meanwhile, your bills are still due on time.

Here’s what I want creators to understand: having a large following doesn’t automatically mean you have a well-protected business.

Brands negotiate contracts with their interests in mind. You should too.

Your Contract Buddy has lawyer-drafted influencer and ambassador contract templates to help you protect your business before signing that next exciting deal 🙌🏼

Because getting the brand deal is exciting. Making sure it’s actually a good deal? Even better.

Let me be upfront about something that might lose me a few followers and I am completely okay with that.

I do not offer free consultations. And no, that won’t be changing 💁🏻‍♀️

Hear me out...

When you sit across from me (even virtually), you are not getting a general conversation about business law. You are getting 15+ years of watching businesses succeed, fail, get sued, recover, scale and sometimes fall apart.

You are getting someone who has reviewed enough contracts to know where the problem is likely to show up before it actually becomes one. You are getting answers based on your specific business and situation, not a general overview you could have Googled.

That expertise has value and I treat consultation time accordingly.

I have also learned that a paid consultation creates a very different kind of conversation. The people who book are usually coming in ready to ask the right questions, make decisions and actually do something with the answers.

That IS the kind of client relationship I want to build 🙌🏼

I respect your time. I show up prepared, present and completely focused on your business for every single minute of that call. So really the only question is whether you are ready to take your own business seriously.

I let ChatGPT write a contract just to see what it would come up with...

It looked great UNTIL I reviewed it as a lawyer 💁🏻‍♀️

“Potential Lawsuit” 👀

Half my inbox panicked… and honestly, that says everything 💁🏻‍♀️

If your contract makes your stomach drop instead of making you feel protected, it’s time to fix that.

No more Frankenstein templates. No more guessing. And no more AI.

$27 contracts. Real protection. Actual peace of mind.

One of many brands we’ve helped protect! 🙌🏼

This isn’t just paperwork. It’s ownership, it’s leverage, and it’s peace of mind knowing that everything you’ve built actually belongs to you 💯

At GBP Law, we don’t treat trademarks like a checkbox. We treat them like strategy. Because once your name is registered, everything shifts:

✅ You’re no longer “hoping” no one copies you (you can actually stop them)
✅ Your brand becomes an asset, not just an idea
✅ You show up with a different level of confidence in the market

Most people wait too long to do this. They build, grow, invest… and only think about protection after something goes wrong.

We prefer to get you ahead of that 😉

If your brand is growing, getting visibility, or starting to feel like “something bigger”… it’s time to lock it in.

Comment “TRADEMARK” or DM us and we’ll walk you through exactly what this looks like for your business.
