Recap: 

I'd love to let you in on one of my little secrets and this secret has to do with contracts. Now, if you're like most business owners that I meet, contracts are one of the first things that you think about when it comes to the law. And I get it.

So I'm going to be walking you through, what is this secret ingredient for your business when it comes to your contracts, why it's so fricking important, and how you can get it in place for free by listening to this podcast.
