Starting a business is exciting… until you hit the wall of paperwork, confusing requirements, and government websites that make zero sense. In this episode, I share a personal story from when I first launched my law firm - and how, even as a licensed attorney, I struggled to figure out how to get everything set up the right way. Now, there's a tool that can help first-time entrepreneurs avoid those same mistakes. It's called Velo, an AI assistant from ZenBusiness that walks you through the business formation process, finds the licenses you need, tracks your compliance deadlines, and even builds your website - no legal degree or tech skills required. If you've been putting off launching your business because the admin side feels overwhelming, this episode is your roadmap forward. Links Mentioned: Learn more about Velo: hawthornlaw.net/velo
