You know that protecting your coaching business legally is important, but are you asking,
"Protecting it from... what exactly?"
Great question.
YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE IF YOU WANT TO BE SURE THAT YOU CAN:
- Legally call yourself a coach (and be sure that your activities are coaching, and not anything that requires a license)
- Keep the money you’ve earned (safe from baseless -but tricky to beat- refund requests)
- Establish boundaries around your time, energy, and money to build a business you can rely on long into the future
- Know for sure there are no "gotcha" legal requirements you're accidentally missing
AND DON'T WORRY:
- You can get this protection and peace of mind with no huge lawyer retainer necessary
- You don't have to educate a regular ol' biz lawyer on what you do
- You don't have to figure out what you need and try to cobble it together yourself
- You don't have to wonder if something is missing for your exact type of coaching business and programs
WHY NOT? BECAUSE I PUT EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN ONE CONVENIENT PLACE.

AN INSIDE LOOK AT
EVERYTHING INCLUDED
PART ONE
Be ready to hold clients accountable to their dreams
Great coaches are sure that when clients get out of their comfort zone, they remember why they’re here! Otherwise, payment drama can erupt: the client wants out and wants a refund to go with it. Avoid this common scenario with the right legal documents. Our easy to use form helps clients understand that while you may be a miracle worker, they still have to do the work! This helps a payment processor understand who was responsible for what when it comes to getting great client outcomes.
PART TWO
Be ready to take payment for your services (legally)
Planning to charge for your services? Of course! Building a sustainable financial future is probably one of the big reasons you became a coach in the first place. With the right legal documents, you can be sure your clients stay within the scope of your offer (no more energy draining clients), make timely payments if they are on installment plans, and know exactly when they can use their coaching sessions (no clients MIA for months or years at a time!).
PART THREE
Be ready to collect and properly store private client info.
Planning to market yourself with a website and email list? Planning to take client financial data to accept payment? These are areas with legal “gotchas” that are totally avoidable in a few quick steps. I’ll show you exactly what you need to know so you don’t have to figure out the boring fine print. Check the box on these legal requirements so you can create your website, build your list, and accept payment for your services.
PART FOUR
Be Ready To Send Your Client Contract with Confidence
Your onboarding process should be as professional as you are, and as a coaching fanatic myself, you can be sure I don't let anyone swipe my card without a seamless sign up process that includes a contract. Give yourself - and your clients - the gift of an agreement that makes everyone feel safe and official. Once enrolled, you'll get access to our 1/1 coaching agreement that has withstood every chargeback request we have heard about from our clients.
THIS IS EVERYTHING I NEED AND MORE, SIGN ME UP!
WONDERING IF THIS WILL WORK FOR YOU?
DON'T JUST SIGN A CONTRACT NOW... BE SURE IT WILL WORK FOR YOU WHEN IT COUNTS
Tried and Tested Coaching Agreements
Not all legal advice and documents are created equal... in fact, most are watered down versions of mega-contracts used by public companies. What's worse is that these agreements are typically (i) missing what is actually important in the coaching industry and (ii) too expensive for the coach to enforce her own agreement!
Instead, our agreements have been relied on by real coaches for the last ten years, and to date, no one has told us they've lost a dispute with our agreements.
Drafted from Scratch by an Experienced Lawyer
I've been practicing law since 2008, where, on a near weekly basis, I'm in real courtrooms making real arguments on behalf of real clients with real stakes. The information in this program isn't just a good idea... when it comes to serious, reliable legal, it's the genuine article. My clients pay $400+ per hour to get my eyes on their businesses, but you don't have to. I drafted my best work ever in these agreements, and now they are available to you, on demand, whenever you need them.
Matches Exactly How Coaches Do Business
You can be sure that all of the legal information and documents are tailored just for coaching: how programs are structured, how pricing works, where client relationships typically go wrong so we can speak to that in advance of a problem happening in the first place, plus the things coaches care about most, like protecting their paychecks, their energy, their reputation, and their best content. Generic forms simply won't do that - neither will documents drafted by generalists.

You may be wondering...
Do I need to hire a lawyer to review these contracts? Are they valid where I live?
This program is for coaches in the US or those whose clients are mostly in the US. Most coaching disputes are handled by credit card companies, so these agreements are designed with that in mind. They also work in the formal court system. Most purchasers do not have these reviewed in their state, but if you work with children, regularly in person, or have other unusual circumstances, review by a local lawyer may help.
What do I do if I have questions?
This self-paced program was first created ten years ago and is regularly updated to answer *all* of the common questions we've received over the years. We used to have a group for questions, but the program is so easy and complete that no one ever used it! If you do prefer to have access to a lawyer, visit The Shop page for information about Little Black Legal Book, which includes support.
Can you review my contracts or draft them for me?
This program has comprehensive training based on over 500 prior purchasers and their questions and concerns so we are confident that you can do this on your own!
Prefer a second set of eyes? We do offer programs that include lawyer support such as contract review. If you prefer this type of support, check out Little Black Legal Book on The Shop page ($1,497), which includes one year of support.
Is my business ready for this right now? Or should I wait until I have a client ready to sign up?
Your business isn't ready *until* your website policies and business policies in place to legally collect email addresses and payment information for your clients. Knock out this legal requirement and have your client contract ready so you can focus on talking to prospects, selling packages, and coaching!
