Before you paste anything into ChatGPT or Claude, read this. ⤵️⁠
⁠
Whatever you upload to an AI tool can essentially become part of that platform's training data. ⁠
⁠
👉🏻 Your ideas, your copy, your proprietary processes. Gone into the pool.⁠
⁠
And if you're creating content for brands, you need to read that contract before you use AI to make those deliverables. ‼️ ⁠
⁠
Some brands explicitly prohibit it, and you could be in breach without knowing.⁠
⁠
While you're at it, look for any language about your likeness, voice, or image being used beyond the scope of the project. ⁠
⁠
If you signed it without reading it, you may have already said yes.⁠
⁠
This is EXACTLY the kind of thing I cover in Sam's Sidebar, my weekly newsletter, every week. ⁠
⁠
66,000 online business owners already get it. ⁠

Pottery class has been one of the best business decisions I've made this year.⁠
⁠
👀 Not because it taught me anything about strategy. ⁠
⁠
⚡ Because it taught me nothing about strategy.⁠
⁠
That's the whole point.⁠
⁠
There's this version of "working on your business" that we talk about constantly. ⁠
⁠
👉🏻 The content, the offers, the systems. ⁠
⁠
But there's another version that gets almost no airtime, and it's the one that actually sustains everything else.⁠
⁠
💙 It's the part where you remember who you are when you're not working. ⁠
⁠
☕️ I'm a better business owner when I have a life that has nothing to do with business. ⁠
⁠
And I think you probably are too.⁠

😬 I published a book and still felt weird calling myself a writer.

That’s the thing about identity.
Evidence doesn’t give it to you.

You have to decide it’s yours first.

There’s always going to be someone more experienced, more published, more credentialed.

Waiting for enough proof is just waiting forever.

So today I’m saying it out loud.

I’m a writer. 📝

Whatever you’ve been earning but not owning, this is your nudge to just take it. ✨

What’s an identity you are afraid to say aloud? Let me know in the comments and let’s claim it together.

A lot of what I see people doing in their online businesses is actually illegal. 🚩⁠
⁠
🤯 And most of them have no idea. ⁠
⁠
It comes down to something called scope of practice. ⁠
⁠
👉🏻 It's just a legal way of saying what you can and can't do based on how you're licensed, educated, or credentialed in your state.⁠
⁠
And it's NOT just about what services you offer. ⁠
⁠
💡 It's also about what you say on social media and what's written on your website right now.⁠
⁠
🥕 A nutritionist making specific dietary prescriptions. ⁠
💭 A coach giving mental health guidance outside their training. ⁠
🏋️ A fitness professional making medical claims. ⁠
⁠
These happen every single day online, and they open people up to serious lawsuits and, more importantly, real harm to real people.⁠
⁠
That's exactly why I built an entire section of my free legal workshop around this.⁠
⁠
⭐ In Five Steps to Legally Protect and Grow Your Online Business, I walk you through what scope of practice means for your specific business, what to avoid saying online, and where to find the information you need to stay protected. ☕️⁠
⁠
This is one of those things that's so much easier to get right from the start than to fix after something goes wrong.⁠
