🚨EMERGENCY PROOF YOUR BUSINESS🚨

If Any of These Are Happening Right Now, This Session Is Built for You

The Client Who Won't Pay

The work is delivered. The invoice is past due. Follow-ups are being ignored, and you're not sure whether your next move is another email, a formal demand, or something else entirely.

The Contract You Regret Signing

You signed something you now realize doesn't protect you. You need to know what you're bound to, where your exits are, and what to do before the next deliverable is due.

The Cancellation or Refund Demand

A client walked mid-project, or is demanding money back on work you already performed. You need to know what you actually owe them, what you're entitled to keep, and how to respond in writing.

No Contract at All

The relationship went sideways and there's nothing signed. You need to know what you can still document, what you can still enforce, and how to stabilize this without a written agreement.

Also fits: chargebacks, scope disputes, a partner or contractor situation deteriorating, or a client who has started threatening consequences you don't know how to evaluate.

You Shouldn't Have to Choose Between a $400/Hour Attorney and a Google Search.

When something goes wrong, most solo CEOs do one of two things. They spend three hours searching for answers written for someone else's state, someone else's contract, and someone else's problem — or they call a law firm and get quoted a retainer that costs more than the money in dispute.

Neither one tells you what to do on Tuesday.

The First Response Session is the practical middle. In under an hour, we look at your actual documents, name what's really happening, and build the sequence of moves you're going to make this week. If your situation genuinely requires an attorney, you'll leave knowing that — and knowing exactly what to bring them so you're not paying $400 an hour for someone to get up to speed.

The Gifted Minds Difference

A practical, strategic first stop when legal-business questions hit — without defaulting to a full law-firm engagement or unreliable DIY answers.

Focused on your actual documents
Built around decisions, not disclaimers
Completed in a single week
Flat fee — no surprise invoices

What's Included

Pre-Session Crisis Intake

A structured questionnaire you complete at booking, so the session starts with the facts already on the table — not with fifteen minutes of catch-up.

45–60 Minute One-on-One Strategy Session

Live, by video. Focused entirely on your situation. No templates, no generic advice — your specific facts, your specific next moves.

Review of Up to 3 Core

Your contract, the disputed invoice, the key email thread — whatever actually governs the situation. Reviewed before we meet.

Your Immediate Action Roadmap™

Written and delivered after the session: what to do, in what order, by when. A concrete sequence — not a list of considerations.

Every CEO Legal First Response Session™ is structured to move fast and stay focused. Here's exactly what you get.

Documentation-Preservation Checklist

What to save, screenshot, export, and stop deleting — before it disappears. Evidence hygiene matters from day one.

Recommended Implementation Pathway

Contracts with liability clauses, ambiguous scope language, or terms that waive protections you didn't know you needed. Spotting the exposure early creates options. Discovering it late creates emergencies.

Risk and Escalation Assessment

An honest read on how exposed you actually are, and what would make this worse. No sugar-coating — just a clear picture of the landscape.

Attorney-Referral Identification

If this crosses into work that needs a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction, we identify that line clearly and prepare you to engage counsel efficiently and inexpensively.

Three Steps to Your Written Plan

The entire process is designed to get you from crisis to clarity in a single week. You do a ten-minute intake. We do the document review before we meet. The session is focused entirely on decisions — not setup, not background, not general principles. Your written roadmap follows within two business days.

$297 — One Flat Fee. Nothing Hidden.

What You Pay

Who This Fits

This is right for you if:

This isn't right for you if:

You've been in business at least two years and this is real revenue at stake
You run lean — solo, or with contractors, a partner, or a small team
Something is happening now and you need a decision this week
You want to understand your own situation, not hand it off entirely

You want someone to take the matter over and handle it for you
You're in active litigation or have been formally served
You're not in a situation yet and want to prevent one — start with the free Solo CEO's Legal First-Aid Kit or the WHAT TO DO WHEN...™ Playbook, Vol. 1

The Longer This Sits, the Fewer Options You Have.

Most of the situations that turn expensive did not start expensive. They started as a problem the owner wasn't sure how to handle — so it sat for three weeks while the evidence got stale and the leverage drained away.

Every day without a plan is a day the other side has more room to move. Evidence disappears. Deadlines pass. What started as a recoverable situation becomes a harder one.

You don't need to solve this alone. And you don't need a retainer to get moving. One session. One flat fee. A written plan in your hands by the end of the week.
