Starting a business is not any one single thing or event. For many it is a labor of love, a lifelong dream in action. Thousands of moving parts working together to create a business, an organic entity built on dreams and tears. Sometimes exhilarating, sometimes frightening.

The thrill when something you create works. A sale went through, a customer gives praise, you reach a goal, you surpass a benchmark, and the realization that you own your time. You find out that the buck stops at you. You learn either hard or easy that running a business, especially a startup, is a lot of work … but oh so worth it.

We try to support our members in every way that we can. We offer online courses, most of which are subject matter courses. A few of our courses focus on building a business and sales. This course – FALDP Quick Start Guide – is not meant to replace any of our courses, but to enhance. We know that you want to see the cash flow back to you as quickly as possible and have created this Quick Start Guide to get your business up and running as quickly as possible.

Member Spotlight

Taneesha Thomas

This week's Member in the Spotlight is Ms. Taneesha Thomas of Pro Se Solutions, Inc. Taneesha joined FALDP in July 2022. At that time, her business was brand new, and due to her advance planning and strong foundation, has been growing at a steady pace. Although Taneesha has no formal legal education or law firm experience, her real world knowledge and work ethic more than make up for it.

After working for 18 years in contract compliance, Taneesha was drawn to the legal document preparation business as a way to use her knowledge and help consumers at the same time. In her advance business planning, she discovered that she really needed a network of like minded colleagues to connect with. So she found us (FALDP) and followed us for months before joining.

One question we asked:
What is the one thing that you want to tell someone else who is just getting started?

Don't overthink. This is what your network is for. You have people with years and years of experience to draw from. Someone will know the answer to whatever you're ruminating about, so seek out a network. Also, don't be intimidated, just because you don't have years and years of experience or formal academic training, does not mean this business is beyond your reach. I, personally, am grateful that I don't have to read case law or try to interpret the rulings. I prepare documents.

FALDP Private Facebook Group

About one third of our membership has joined the FALDP private Facebook group. We created it to make it easier to interact with each other. So far, people have given work referrals to one another; asked questions to the group; received help in locating a form; and discussed various issues. If you're working toward FALDP Certification, you earn one CEU just by joining the group. So, what are you waiting for? Look for the private group after going to the official FALDP Facebook page at FALDP,LLC on Facebook.
