I effectively have all the basics set up that I need to have and should be able to start really marketing myself & finding clients. However, I'm holding myself back because I feel like I need to have contracts available for clients to sign, protecting us both. I don't feel right about taking on work without having the safeguard of a document that I could, theoretically, point to in court and say, "This clause is why I did/didn't do XYZ."
Am I overthinking this? I can't afford to join the classes & such that Erin or other coaches offer that tend to have either contracts available for you to customize or at the very least, lessons on how to go about setting up contracts. I'm doing this all on my own, with Claire (my ChatGPT) and Claude as my guides & confidantes.
