The freelance developer detail got me. I used to think paying for the work settled who owned it. Your point about no clear IP assignment clause is what I would have missed until due diligence. What should a founder get signed first?

The best skill you'll ever learn, how to stay positive even when you have a thousand reasons not to.

You have to make peace as a young person with looking unimpressive or plain for a while, so your wealth can actually grow for the long term

Your developer built the product. But what do your agreements say about who owns the IP?
Payment, possession and ownership are not always the same thing.
Review the agreements behind the work your business relies on.
More on Friday.

If nothing in your business makes you doubt yourself, you’re not playing big enough.

In the last 3 years, the work we’ve done @workwithlenora has birthed some incredible opportunities for our clients.
We’ve watched clients go on to work with NASA, collaborate on Guinness World Records projects, relocate, land new jobs, bag business partnerships, get promoted to General Manager at a multibillion-naira company etc.
It’s been so beautiful to witness. 🥹
And somewhere in all of this, we realised that the work we do as a strategic comms and reputation management company is: helping people build influence from the work they do.
So we made something!🥳
Our first-ever playbook, “Build Your Influence in 100 Attempts”, is a little piece of everything we’ve learned about becoming known, trusted, and sought after for the work you do.
The idea is pretty simple. Wherever you are on the influence scale, you can make intentional attempts to move higher.
And because we want more people to experience what’s possible when they learn to build influence, we’re giving it away for FREE!
It goes live tomorrow at Moonshot. 🥹
If you’d like a copy, just lmk in the comment & Our team reps will find you at the National Theatre tomorrow.
Speak soon!🥳✨

I’ll be at Moonshot tomorrow, and I want to meet as many interesting people as possible.
I’ll be wearing a @Cencori merch, so if you spot me, come say hi. Let’s talk.

One of the reasons so many average people stay poor is because they believe they are special. They believe their life is going to magically change because they're going to get a letter in the mail from magic school inviting them on an adventure.
The reality is, we get those letters every single day. They just look like risk and a shitload of work, with no guarantee of a payoff.

The older I get, the more I think “I’ll figure it out later” is one of the most expensive decisions a young person can make. Think about it and execute immediately the thought comes.
