Here's your Business Blind Spot:
You are Contract Cautious.
You actually know that you should probably use a contract with contractors and collaborators, but it feels… kinda cringey and awkward to send one.
You want to work with others, but you’re scared of ruining the relationship by using a contract (or, sometimes, you just don’t think it’s necessary).
but if you don’t use one…
You don’t own anything the contributor creates for you or even helps you create -- so not only is it not your property, but the contributor can use it for her own purposes, too.
Any confidential information you share with your contributor loses confidential status, which means the contributor can whip around and use it for himself.
I know it can be so cringey and awkward sending someone a contract...
Especially if it’s a friend or someone you know taking photos for you, creating a design for you, or helping you in some way.
but here are the two things that are really holding you back from forming key relationships that will grow your business...
Mindset, my friend. Sending a contract is not saying “Sign this because I don’t trust you.” It’s saying “Let’s make sure we’re all on the same page.”
You’ve gotta use a contract you actually understand. ‘Cause, otherwise, the contract is kind of useless.
It sounds easy because it is.
You’re much closer than you think to protecting your relationships (and, as a result, your entire brand) how they deserve to be protected.
