Here are three non-standard tips from the “Punkt B” team, which will definitely simplify the life of self-employed people and entrepreneurs. We are sure that you have already heard about the standard things, but these ideas can become real life hacks!
→ Keep yourself a legal stash.
Imagine that everything is going well, and suddenly - an unexpected fine or a legal incident. So that such moments do not hit the budget, start a small reserve fund for such cases. It can even be a separate account, where the amount will accumulate for legal force majeure.
→ Record verbal agreements on audio
Very often, everyone agrees verbally – through messengers or at meetings. If agreed in words, record the conversation in audio (of course, with the consent of the client). It's not a substitute for a formal contract, but the record will help if there's any disagreement. A simple audio file can save a lot of nerves!
→ Use claim templates
Sometimes there are misunderstandings, and it is important to have a ready-made claim template on hand. This not only saves you time, but also helps to resolve issues quickly. Once you take the time to create such a template (or ask a lawyer to help), you will always be ready to act!
The tips are really very simple, but they will be useful even to an experienced professional, and any entrepreneur or self-employed.
Be sure to save life hacks and share them with colleagues so as not to get into an unpleasant situation.
