In this episode of Women of Wealth, we sit down with attorney and founder of Remarkable Legal, Cheryl Hodgson, for a conversation every entrepreneur needs to hear. If you’re building a business, launching offers, creating content, writing a book, starting a podcast, or growing a brand online, this episode is your reminder that success is not just about sales and visibility - it’s also about protection.
Cheryl shares the common legal mistakes entrepreneurs make when starting and scaling a business, including misunderstandings around trademarks, LLCs, contracts, intellectual property, partnerships, and online branding. She also breaks down the difference between owning a domain versus owning trademark rights, why written agreements matter, and how simple oversights can turn into expensive lessons later.
You’ll also hear real-life examples of business owners who had to rebrand, lost control of their assets, or ended up in legal trouble because they skipped foundational protections early on. If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll deal with the legal side later,” this episode is for you.
In this episode, we cover:
- Common legal mistakes entrepreneurs make
- The difference between a domain name and a trademark
- When a business should consider an LLC or formal legal structure
- Why partnership agreements matter
- How to protect your brand, course, book, podcast, or program
- Contract basics every business owner should have in place
- What to do if you’ve already made a few business blunders
- Why prevention is often far less expensive than litigation
