In addition, the traditional legal industry is a “black-box” industry. That means it’s really hard to get inside and get the information they need. There are high barriers to entry.
Many entrepreneurs or small businesses who are experiencing steady growth often think big business legal needs don’t apply to them, or that…
Here’s what is true:
And this can and has resulted in serious or catastrophic legal setbacks that could have been avoided.
The BLACK BOX, HIGH BARRIER TO ENTRY legal model does not have to prevent you from getting the support you need to SCALE YOUR BUSINESS and create the impact you want in the world SAFELY.
I created The Legal Website Warrior® as a way to meet the legal needs of mission-driven information entrepreneurs. Experts and industry leaders in the online space deserve robust legal support that is accessible, efficient, cost-effective, and designed specifically for their business.
And The Catalyst Club is for those experts and industry leaders who are quickly scaling their business for more impact, and need access to brand protection and legal tools tailored specifically for their business, like:
You can protect your business, so you never have to slow your company growth or risk the impact it makes..

When it comes to running a business, the legal aspects can be pretty intimidating. Heather made the process simple for us – she walked us through exactly what it takes to protect the online portion of our business, and helped us get the necessary legal documentation in place for our website, online content and programs. If you want to free up time to focus on scaling your business and not dealing with legal stuff that pretty much every entrepreneur doesn’t want to have to worry about, you should definitely contact Heather to get your protections in place.

“I found Heather in 2016 as I was launching a new business and I both liked and trusted her immediately. It was instantly clear to me that she knows her stuff and more so, I loved how clearly she was able to educate and advise me. Several times she went above and beyond to connect me with others in her network to assist with needs beyond her scope of practice. I continue to work with Heather and could not recommend her and her expertise more highly. I feel like I am in great hands and that no legal ball will be missed or dropped. I also really enjoy any time I connect with her. She makes the legal aspects of my businesses so much more enjoyable!”
Traditional legal services are built for big businesses. But this program is built for leading small businesses in the online space. The Catalyst Club is disrupting traditional legal services and meeting your needs where you are.
Traditional legal support is time-consuming, cost prohibitive, fails to provide a roadmap and timeline for achieving goals, and can rarely support the needs of the entrepreneurs in the online space all under one roof.
Worse, it utilizes the hourly billing method which can quickly drain the financial resources of a growing entrepreneurial company. It’s inflexible and fails to educate or provide resources in a cost-effective way.
Navigating a painful legal incident through our legal system should not be how you learn to protect your business.
Instead, I saw the need and designed legal support that combines the best of the traditional world of law with strategies from “new law” or alternative legal service providers (ALSP’s).
The advantage to ALSP’s is they include resources and tools that can be implemented immediately, rely in part on systems, technology, and automation which shortens delivery time and protects the small business budget with flat-fee and fixed cost options.
This legal model provides greater access to an attorney for ongoing support (outside of the “billable hour”), helps small businesses implement a legal foundation with speed, as well as educates and transforms entrepreneurs into better, more strategic leaders.
While it’s true, you don’t need a law degree to run a business, you do need some basic legal chops. It’s my job to deliver the gold nuggets that will serve you on your business building path.
(Space is limited.)
The adventure of entrepreneurship is one of the greatest opportunities we have for self-expression and for the expression of our greatest good in the world. Choosing this path takes a heap of guts.
And yet the traditional legal industry fails so many entrepreneurs.
But when entrepreneurs build successful businesses, they can support themselves, their families, give back to their communities and contribute to causes in the world that they care about. When they build successful businesses, their influence reaches even farther.
If you want to reach new heights in your business, you have to plan for new heights and protect the results of that reach, so you can experience more freedom. It doesn’t happen by accident.
I protect the work and businesses of world-changing entrepreneurs (experts, professionals, coaches, consultants, industry leaders, authors, speakers, personal brands). I help them accelerate business growth and increase impact by reducing risk. The personal impact is more freedom and peace of mind. I love supporting my clients’ entrepreneurial adventures so that they can soar.

“Heather did a presentation to my community of social entrepreneurs. …It was by far the most helpful and specific training on this topic that I’ve seen in over 13 years of doing this work. Not only does she know her material very well and present it in an easy to understand manner, but her warm and approachable demeanor made a topic that many entrepreneurs are intimidated by safe to talk about. It was a fabulous presentation. Highly recommend Heather and her work!”

“Having Heather on my side is exactly how it feels to work with her – like you have someone on your side who has your back and totally cares about your success and safety. As an entrepreneur with big dreams, it’s been a huge support to have Heather on my support team. She rocks and her work reflects her knowledge and integrity.”
The "done for you" implementation or "sprint" occurs in the first 3-4 months of the Program. This is the portion of services where we build out support on a project timeline to address your most significant legal gaps, focusing on 2-3 projects per month.
Additionally, you are provided immediate access to the Ultimate Legal Toolkit and monthly Office Hours & Ask Me Anything LIVE (which you have access to for one full year) so that you or your team can access additional supports and resources as needed, and can continue building out supports in your business for the remainder of the year.
You also get access to a Business Risk Assessment & Legal Roadmap Strategy Session which kicks off The Catalyst Club Program so that we can take a deep dive into your business before mapping your supports and structuring the program for your needs.
Support for two trademark registrations is included in The Catalyst Club Program. For clients that pay in full up front, we include support for a third trademark registration application as a bonus.
There are no refunds for this program. Please contact me if you have any questions before you purchase.
The Catalyst Club Program includes numerous resources to support you in the build out and implementation of your legal foundation.
These resources include The Ultimate Legal Toolkit which is a database of resources designed specifically for experts, consultants, coaches, online educators, speakers & authors, and similarly situated entrepreneurs. The ULT cannot itself be considered legal advice.
However, if you have questions that pertain to your unique business, you are always advised to seek the assistance of a lawyer to review your specific scenario. (If you are a member of the Catalyst Club, you have 1:1 assistance built into your program).
The Catalyst Club Program is the highest level of support that I provide for industry leaders and quickly-scaling entrepreneurs. If you are generating over $1M in revenue per year or are quickly scaling to that level (or beyond), this Program is a fit for you. It is designed for robust businesses in the information space who require a variety of legal supports from essential business contracts, online business protection, intellectual property registrations, and more.
If you are not sure, you likely need a lower level of support in your business (check out the Accelerator Program or The Ultimate Legal Toolkit) or you are an expert personality and just need some time to consider your options. That's fine - take your time. If you need a conversation where I can walk you through the specifics and answer your questions, pop over and schedule a consultation through my consultation link. I'm happy to help you sort out whether your business is a fit for this program or not (and I will happily provide you with other options or referrals if I feel like it is not a fit for you).
That you will be responsive and participate fully by providing information requested (in a timely manner) that will support us in delivering the "done for you" services included in this program.
That you will meet timelines and communicate regularly so that together we can optimize your results and make the most of our time together.
If you need additional 1:1 support beyond that provided in The Catalyst Club Program, you can always contact me for further options. We can assess your ongoing support needs and explore options for your business beyond the timeline of the Program.
Priority clients also receive savings on additional 1:1 services required during the program timeline.
The documents inside The Ultimate Legal Toolkit are yours to use in your business, but they are protected by copyright which means you cannot sell them to others, loan them to friends, or in any other manner use them for commercial purposes outside of building and protecting your own business.
This Program is specifically designed to meet the needs of quickly scaling information businesses that still have to watch their cash flow but are ready to invest in legal support that saves time, saves expense, and at a fixed cost (or flat-fee basis).
It is designed specifically to optimize the client's ongoing access to legal counsel and spot support throughout the program (outside of the billable hour model), provides full access to a database of resources and documents designed specifically for information businesses, and utilizes systems, automation and technology in order to create efficiencies and keep everyone on track.
This approach is designed to cap your costs while providing a tremendous amount of support for your business.
It allows me to serve you to the best of my ability within the Program structure without tracking hourly billables related to your numerous projects, which also frees you up to not worry about every ounce of effort being put into your deliverables and time together in the Program.
It also allows me to include numerous additional resources that create efficiencies for both your business and mine. "Traditional" law firms provide nearly exclusively "done for you" hourly support which is just not an efficient or cost-effective model for small business clients.
The blended approach of done for you support, done with you support and education, and access to pre-built tools and resources combines the best of all worlds.
Now that you know who The Catalyst Club is for and how it works, you should understand the potential cost of not getting the right legal support. Unfortunately, I see things like this happen all the time and it can take a mission down faster than you’d believe.
My goal is to support you and your mission, so it makes the impact you started it for in the first place. That’s why protecting it is so important.
