Hey everyone! I apologize, I accidentally posted a topic I had intended to be in another Skool group, so I've deleted it. It had to do with AI and robotic intelligence. Then, I posted this and forgot I was in my other account. I've deleted the post and re-posted below. Apologies for multiple emails if you've got settings to notify you of new posts. ================== If you'd like to join a really amazing Skool community (the one that got me hooked on the idea), check out RaSheem's community called AI Connect. Please use this link: https://www.skool.com/aiconnect/about?ref=474bb96c45504034828f43e69bd4d6a7 to join. The subscription is worth every penny if you'd like to have access to an amazing network of people who are further into AI than so many people we all know. RaSheem's live calls are really interesting and a lot of fun. The community is global and there are members from other countries who have been regulars on live calls. It's been a lot of fun getting to know the experts and build a network of relationships of entrepreneurs who are leading their own businesses. Inspiration comes from every meeting. I hope you consider joining and hope to see you on the live calls! Let me know if you have any questions if you're on the fence. There's no other group like this that I've ever heard of and I've been a member now, for 8 months. Membership has accelerated my learning about AI, though I still feel like I'm just scratching the surface when I jump on these calls. It's humbling but fun!

UPDATE: I've put a placeholder on the Community Calendar and I can move it if there are suggestions for a better time and date. Hey everyone! Happy Thursday! I'd like to have our first Live Call next week. Does anyone have any topics of interest as well as a perferred time and date? Suggestions are welcomed! If there's no preference, I'll propose 4:30PM Eastern time on Wednesday afternoon and the first topic will be randomly chosen live, during the call. Topics can be anything that you might encounter in the end-to-end workflow from establishing your LLC to finding and negotiating contracts or even narrowing down your niche. We'll have plenty of time for live Q&A during the call as well. If you have family or friends who might be interested in learning more about consulting - this is a no-obligation community where it's ok to ask questions and explore. You don't have to commit to taking steps and are welcomed if you just want to learn a bit about what consulting could look like if you decided to get started. The idea is to help take the mystery out of the steps you might need to take, to get started. Once we have an established time and date, I will set the invitation on the Skool calendar. Now let's get started with your preference when we can have our discussion!

If you're thinking Liability Insurance is going to be super expensive, I'm here to tell you the cost may not be as bad as you might expect. It's going to depend on the type of consulting you do or plan to do. I have a friend who is a Licensed Professional Engineer. His insurance is bound to be higher than mine, because his risk is greater in comparison. Before you go and get yourself insurance, let's talk about the type of business you're providing and identify the risks involved. That will be the type of information you'll need to have prepared to talk with an insurance agent. And not all insurance agents offer Business Liability Insurance. I'm using Hiscox. The entire process for the quote was done online via their website. I cannot attest to them being the best, but they were "just right" for what I needed. I have what's called Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance and my risk is low so my coverage is set accordingly. Some clients may require you to have coverage up to a certain dollar amount. Each client may be different, so I would recommend determining when to get insurance, based on what type of activities you're engaged in already. Once you sign a contract, you'll need to have your insurance already arranged and not later. If you wait until afterwards, there could be timing issues with the insurance coverage. You don't want the contract date to be before you secured your insurance policy. Take away the insurance company's excuse to not cover you if something happens. Some companies might cover your liability in case they're taken to court. This would be something to talk over with your prospective client to see if they will cover you so you don't have to defend yourself separately from them, but not all will go for it. Just know it's something you should discuss with your client during Contract Negotiations. More on that topic later. My policy is paid up front and due annually. I've spoken with an Agent at Hiscox in the past and found that their customer service was good, but like I said, you may need a different type of policy than the one I obtained. It's always good to talk with an Agent and explain your business, your risks, and have them guide you to a policy that meets your needs.

Please introduce yourself so we can get to know each other. If you're willing to do so, feel free to share your area of expertise, your background, and what it is you'd like to get out of the community. Please also note which time zone you're in so I'll know when I establish live meetings. Tyvm!
