Designing too many variations without focus, ignoring product usability, or using language too academic for general audiences.

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (LLC) CONSIDERATIONS

If you offer personal development printables, even simple ones, forming an LLC helps separate your business activities and assets. Selling worksheets or templates for planning or reflection is a legitimate business — protect it with an LLC. Creating tools for students or neurodivergent users? Operate under an LLC and stay protected.
