How to Legally Grow an Online Business with Sam Vander Wielen

photo of Sam Bander Wielen
Learn to confidently grow your business without worrying you’re making legal mistakes or leaving yourself wide open for a lawsuit with this free legal training with attorney turned entrepreneur Sam Vander Wielen. During this 60-minute live session, Sam will share her 5-step strategy to legally protect your online business so you can sleep tight at night knowing your contracts are legally solid, your content is safe, and your clients will pay you on time.

In this training, you'll learn:
• what your website needs to be legally protected
• how proper contracts can totally save your (vegan) bacon
• the mindset shift you have to make when it comes to legally protecting your business (hint: fear is blocking your revenue)
• how registering the RIGHT business entity (the right way) actually protects you personally
• The #1 way to keep copycats from stealing your content (it's not what you think!)

If you crave the peace of mind that comes with having ALL your legal stuff handled but you don’t know what you don’t know about the legal side of your online business (which contracts you need, when you need disclaimers, what business insurance is and if you need it, etc), you will want to join her for this live training.

If you’ve always associated attorneys with words like “shark,” “intense,” and “cutthroat,” you’re in for a down-to-earth breath of legal fresh air. Sam Vander Wielen is a leading legal educator who’s helped over 150,000 online business owners set up their businesses legally. Sam’s legal templates and signature program, the Ultimate Bundle® generate well over $1 million per year, making her podcast, On Your Terms® a goldmine for not only legal knowledge, but marketing know-how that (actually) works.

The 4-Steps to Book More Paying Clients Without Social Media Overwhelm


Posting isn't the only way to get clients.
Good news... You don't have to follow the latest social media trends to be successful. But you DO have to learn the timeless skills of sales & marketing if you want to make your impact & mark on the world.
The problem is… Most coaches & service providers don’t know how to attract PAYING clients consistently & dread the marketing and sales process.

As someone who has been in the coaching industry & entrepreneurship since 2010, I understand your overwhelm about ALL there is to learn about growing a sustainable business.
This is for you if:
• You know you have a LOT to offer your clients, but you feel overwhelmed about all the marketing options out there.
• You've gotten some clients or practice clients through word of mouth, but you know you can’t solely rely on that method to grow long-term.
• You’re struggling to know the most efficient way to book clients & make more money because you don’t have a reliable system or structure…
• You want to have more focus & stop spinning in circles with free internet trainings…
• You’re pumping out content just to “stay relevant,” but it’s not producing consistent results.

Hailey Rowe is a Marketing & Sales Coach/Consultant. She works with wellness professionals to build out their client attraction process, get more time back, and boost sales without being held back by social media overwhelm.

She shares her F.A.S.T. framework, marketing, and business tips in her Health Coach Nation Podcast & in The Marketing Hub Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/themarketinghubgroup)
She’s been named as one of the Top 25 Coaches in Chicago (Chicago Entrepreneur Magazine) & one of the Top 6 business podcasts for health coaches (Primal Health Coach Institute). Since 2010, Hailey has worked in the coaching industry & in business development/marketing for startups.

How to Get Committed Clients and Steady Income…With Less Marketing

Do you feel like some 'secret' to marketing is holding you back from a thriving practice? Tired of spending hours each week on social media without any results? What if I told you there was a way to get high-quality, committed clients and create steady, predictable monthly income... without more marketing?

In this webinar we're going to dive into exactly how you can do just that in your practice!

You'll learn:

  • Why having a great website, lead magnet, or social media presence won’t actually bring you more clients... unless you do this one thing right
  • How to attract the right prospects for you and turn them into great long-term clients
  • The most effective way to price and package your services for better client results and satisfaction (and more referrals!)... which will lead to higher income. (Bonus: It’s something you can implement immediately after the workshop)
  • How to exit the trap of working with people who aren't fully committed to their results and expect you to "fix" them in a few sessions
  • What to never say in consultation with a prospective client and why (Plus what to say instead!)

Joanna's special ability is in helping practitioners set up repeatable systems and processes in their businesses to serve their clients more powerfully, enroll committed long-term clients, and create steady income and cash flow.
