Designing products too broadly for entrepreneurs, skipping examples, or failing to align with different stages of business growth.

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (LLC) CONSIDERATIONS

If your business targets entrepreneurs or professionals with performance tools, you should form an LLC to protect your income and reduce liability. Selling attention-related tools or services to entrepreneurs or teams makes you a business owner — an LLC protects you accordingly. Offering strategy-focused clarity tools? Form an LLC to stay protected while scaling.
