Most wellness and health coaches are aware of what foods are considered healthy and which foods don’t make the cut. However, when it comes to eating healthy, not everyone understands the important differences between physical hunger and emotional hunger.

EP16: How to Legally Use' Images on Social Media 

Laura Belgray

I welcomed copywriter Laura Belgray to the podcast to share 3 practical tips for how to write e-newsletters, sales pages and opt-ins in a way that makes people actually want to take action after reading your work. Laura’s known for teaching you how to write “non-sucky”, swipe-worthy copy using strategies like “the Stephen Spielberg test”. In this episode, Laura explains how to add more visual details to your writing to bring in flair, style and, your unique personality so you can generate sales through the intentional use of words. I have such respect for Laura’s talent. She helped me with my own website copy, and I had the pleasure of eating fuscilli pasta and mint gelato with her at her 3-day writing workshop in an ancient castle overlooking the Italian sea. Laura Belgray, founder of Talking Shrimp and co-creator of The Copy Cure, is a copywriting expert who helps entrepreneurs find the perfect words to express and sell what they do. Through her her work with hundreds of clients (including online biggies like Marie Forleo, Mastin Kipp, Amy Porterfield and Kate Northrup) she’s seen firsthand that putting “you” into your copy is pure magic for getting people to love you up, share your ideas, and happily click your “buy now” button. Laura’s list of clients and credits include NBC, Bravo, HBO, TBS, Fandango, and many, many more. So if you watch TV -- and don’t skip the commercials -- you just might see her words on air.   In this episode, Lisa and Laura discuss:  Tip 1: Write with “The Steven Spielberg” Test in mind. Could a movie director can bring your words to life? Tip 2: Journal everything you see and hear based on the details, no matter where you are.   Tip 3: Write about real people with kindness or change key details.    When can you take artistic liberty vs. when are you making a false claim? The important difference between “copywriting” and “copyrighting”   Why Laura defines copywriting as all of the words you use for your business The legal side of copyrighting and why Lisa believes it creates an energetic boundary When you should share an idea vs. when you should keep it to yourself before acting on it to protect yourself.           Free Gift:Download Laura Belgray’s free gift – “5 Tips for Non-Sucky Copy” - to learn more about how to write copy that converts to sales at http://talkingshrimp.com/secrets.

EP36: Don't Miss These 5 Sections in Your Client Agreement

Are you scared of “ghosts”? Well, you should be! One of the biggest Legal Pickles™ coaches and entrepreneurs find themselves in is when a client “ghosts” them without notice and stops paying them. The client flat out disappears. “Ghosting” can leave you feeling confused, sad, and betrayed–and in a business context, also in debt or looking blankly and despondently at the client’s unpaid invoice. It can feel scary and frustrating when this happens–and it can leave you wondering, what should you do if your client suddenly stops paying you? In this episode, you’ll learn what steps to take if a client “ghosts” you so you can try to collect the outstanding payments that are owed to you.
