We’ve got a legal eagle on our hands today—rather, a legal unicorn!
We’ve got a legal eagle on our hands today— or rather, a legal UNICORN!
Wani Manly is shedding light the legal to-dos shouldn’t be put off when we are starting a creative business. And you know I would never “should” you unless it was THAT important. You should be legally protecting yourself and your business. You should know what your legal structure should be and you should listen to this episode if all that sounds like greek to you.
As a corporate business lawyer, entrepreneur, best-selling author, certified Zumba instructor, human designer, and self-professed manifesting generator, Wani’s energy is enviable. After sensing a calling to move to Paris, she trusted her intuition and packed up her life and left. No, Wani is not your typical left-brain lawyer — which makes her a perfect fit for creative entrepreneurs.
Three takeaways from this episode of the Tribe of Unicorns podcast.
- Research “smize.”
- Getting your legal Ps and Qs in a row is more about abundance and less about the traditional reasons.
- Ask yourself if you have a fake corporation. Don’t know what that means? Listen to the show 😉
Direct from Wani’s right brain is her insistence that you figure out how your business is structured. Her episode is a marriage of high-vibe and highly encouraging business practices. The message is that there is no way to be one or the other. Be YOU — the gorgeous unicorn you are!
