I'm Ian Foster, and together with my wife (and soulmate!) Heather, I serve coaches, healers, transformational leaders and other heart-centered entrepreneurs. And I'm working hard to "break the mold" of what it means to be an attorney.
Instead of waiting until you get in legal trouble (then charging you a ton of money to limit the damage), I have created proactive and empowering programs that help you build your legal foundation the right way from the start ... so you can protect everything you've worked so hard to create and have the confidence and peace of mind you deserve.
SHOW ME HOW TO JOIN!This is what's included to help you create contracts that give you the confidence and protection you deserve:
The instructional videos are broken down by subject into bite-sized chunks. From my years as a government attorney and running a private practice, I have a lot of experience teaching legal concepts in a way that works whether you are new to the law or already have some legal knowledge.
I don't just throw information at you with the hope that it will stick. I designed worksheets to help you ABSORB and IMPLEMENT what you're learning.
The worksheets contain questionnaires, quizzes, and checklists to make sure the information sinks in and help you act on it!
The videos and worksheets will teach:
This group program is designed to empower the following sorts of people to draft client contracts:
If you are a heart-centered business owner or transformational change-maker who: (a) understands the importance of creating a safe space for you and your clients, (b) is willing to learn new material, (c) is determined and creative, and (d) wants to set goals and take action to achieve them ... then this program is for you!
If you are unwilling to take the legal side of your business seriously, or if you would rather keep your head in the sand, then this program is not for you.
If you are unwilling to learn or take action, then this program is also not for you
No, and for good reasons.
This program is about empowerment. It is not about us doing things for you. The program is designed to empower you with knowledge and skills so you can take action and either draft your own documents or edit and improve your existing documents.
If we included sample language/templates for you to use, then we would have to charge much more for the program. But, most importantly, by doing it for you, we would remove the incentive for you to study the material and engage in the program. In other words, you wouldn't learn anything, and you would be no less likely to get in legal trouble. That would defeat the whole purpose of the program!
We do have document template packages which we sell separately as well as services where we create custom documents for your unique business. If you are interested in those services feel free to contact us. I will make those available to you for purchase after you have completed this course.
But there is nothing like having knowledge for yourself and being able to act on it ... we want you to understand the essential terms in client contracts so you can keep writing them in YOUR OWN WORDS for the new programs and services you develop!
Oh boy ... if I had a nickel for every time I've heard variations of these claims:
Saying those things is no different from saying things like these:
You get the point.
The fact that you've been running your business for some period of time without getting legal trouble does not mean you won't have legal trouble in the future. If anything, it's the other way around.
Sooner or later, pretty much EVERY business has legal problems. It's a roll of the dice, and the longer you're in business, the more likely it becomes that your number will come up. Plus, the fact that you haven't yet had problems may have made you complacent, meaning your legal situation is much more vulnerable than someone who's had to deal with legal trouble before.
So if you've been lucky so far, that's a good thing. But it just means that you need to be for when ... not if ... your luck runs out.
This course is focused on drafting contracts, agreements, and terms & conditions for your clients who pay you for services.
However, many of the principles discussed are also applicable to other kinds of contracts (e.g., contracts with business partners and content providers).
The short answer is: no, the material is not limited to the U.S.
The material has application in many places. Indeed, in addition to the United States, I've had students from Australia, Canada, the U.K., and even Switzerland!
Every country, province, and state has its own legal rules and regulations. Thus, very often the specific answers to legal questions will depend on where you live (or in some cases where your client lives).
But the principles, issues, and questions that need answering are remarkably consistent in many countries, and I've had students from around the world get great value from my programs.
When you hire me an attorney to draft your contracts for you, it's like you're paying for someone to build a shiny, new legal vehicle for you to drive.
But if you don't learn how to drive it, then you may take your wonderful new vehicle out and crash it. Then you have to pay someone to build another one.
My course, Contracts Made Easy, give YOU the power and ability. This program teaches you how to "drive" AND how to build a legal vehicle for yourself.
The goal of the this program is to teach you what contracts are, what the terms mean, and how to put together your own contracts. This way you're empowered to do your own work, and to keep doing it over and over every time you develop a new product or service.
Then, if you still want to hire me or another attorney, you can do that. But you'll be making an empowered decision based on knowledge and preparation. And at that point you are saving a lot of money in legal fees because you may just need the attorney to review your work, rather than doing it from scratch.
