Show Notes:
Understanding the legal requirements when running a course can feel overwhelming to say the least.
So this week we are jumping into some of the things you'll need consider for your course terms and conditions, with the wonderful Emma Heuston.
Emma Heuston is a lawyer, author and online business entrepreneur.
10 years ago, Emma was on the traditional lawyer corporate path with an office job in a boutique firm on the North Shore of Sydney. But a near death experience changed her views on work/ life balance and showed her that life is way too short not to take chances. This led Emma to a sea change with her young family, moving from Sydney to the far north coast of New South Wales. After the sea change, Emma worked remotely at partner level in a law firm for a number of years. But that didn’t light that fire in my belly to help others build their own online empire and let them know it was okay, they didn’t have to buy into the 9 to 5 corporate life while trying to raise a family.
In 2018, Emma wrote the work from home bible, "The Tracksuit Economy: how to work productively and effectively from home", she was also named “Thought leader of the Year” that year by Lawyers Weekly at the Women in Law Award. In 2019 Emma won a gold Mumpreneur Award in the Women’s Business School Excellence Award (Ignite) and in 2020 became a best selling author for the second time with her contribution to "Back Yourself" edited by Peace Mitchell and Katy Garner.
Emma specialises in online and remote work and has developed a strong niche helping people with the legalities surrounding their online courses.
You can find out more about Emma on her website, The Remote Expert.
Action Step:
Go and really look at your terms and conditions. Make a list of some of the things Emma mentions and see if you have them covered.
If you don't have terms and conditions, this is a timely reminder that they are necessary and you should speak to someone who can help you with them.
