We’ll walk you through real-world examples, review key legal requirements, and answer your specific questions live.
The workshop is scheduled for Saturday, July 11, 2026, beginning at 9am Pacific time, and will run approximately three hours. If the date or time changes, we’ll provide advanced notice. You’ll also receive access to recordings of the full workshop, so you can revisit the material anytime.
THE WORKSHOP REMOVES LEGAL UNCERTAINTY SO YOU CAN HIRE WITH CONFIDENCE
Not sure how to hire your first team member without risking legal mistakes?
In this live workshop, a legal expert will walk you through the essential laws, responsibilities, and compliance rules every small business owner must understand before bringing someone onto their team. No more guessing about contracts, worker classification, or required documentation. Just clear, practical guidance you can rely on.
Unsure how to handle performance issues — or let someone go — without conflict or liability?
You’ll learn how to set expectations from day one, create proper policies, avoid discrimination pitfalls, and manage difficult conversations with clarity and compassion. We’ll also cover the legal steps required when terminating a contractor or employee so you stay fully compliant and protected.
Looking for scripts, templates, and real-world examples?
You’ll receive ready-to-use hiring checklists, onboarding scripts, and documentation templates designed specifically for small and home-based business owners. Then, we’ll walk through real hiring and firing scenarios together so you can see exactly how the legal principles apply in real life.
No more confusion. No more fear of “doing it wrong.” Just straightforward guidance you can implement with confidence.

UNCERTAIN HIRING IS HOLDING YOUR BUSINESS BACK
Hiring shouldn’t feel risky — but for many business owners, it does. Fear of choosing the wrong person, saying the wrong thing, or mismanaging a termination keeps teams small, slows down growth, and creates unnecessary stress.
We see it every day: unclear hiring practices, undocumented expectations, and legally risky decisions that could have been avoided with a clearer system.
Choose your payment option and get the structure, confidence, and legal clarity you need to hire (and let go) the right way. Build a mission-aligned team, protect your business from avoidable mistakes, and step into leadership with calm, steady certainty — not fear or hesitation.
