So you’ve got the business idea. You might even have the Instagram handle locked down. But now you're stuck staring at your laptop like... “What legal steps am I supposed to take to make this real?

If that sounds like you, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place.

Whether you’re a coach, digital product creator, or service provider, I’m giving you a clear, three-day action plan to get your business legally legit—without the legal jargon, guesswork, or overwhelm.
