A step-by-step framework to get your legal + tax shit legit.
Raise a finger if…
You’re killin it in your creative biz, but you feel like your marketing game has far outpaced your legal + legal acumen.
You feel like you're 1 second away from getting your ass sued or needing to sue someone else.
The thought of IRS hate mail flooding your mailbox keeps you up at night.
You’re just generally overwhelmed, stressed, and have #allthequestions
OR…
You’re feeling like pretty ok, but you want to learn more about…
how you’re taxed & how to save.
how to pay yourself & be profitable.
how to protect your biz with contracts, LLCs, Trademarks, and insurance, and
Just generally how to set up a strong legal + tax foundation to grow your business with peace of mind.
Any fingers up? If yes, it’s time to…
Real Talk.
It's totally possible to fully understand how your business is legally operating, what your obligations are, and what deadlines you need to meet. This doesn't require a law degree or a ton of time. Once you get started unf*cking your biz, you can . . .
-
Wouldn’t it be great to just know when a certain document or payment is due? No need to worry about letters appearing in your mailbox from different agencies telling you that you owe late fees for something you never knew about in the first place. Life’s too short to stress over IRS hate mail.
-
It’s natural for us to increase expenses as we increase our income. New client, new software. New sale, yay! Time for that retreat! The more money you make, the easier it is to take on new expenses . . . but you also have to consider taxes, how much you're paying yourself, and all that not so exciting stuff.
How great would it be to rein it in, have a budget for business expenses, and actually put more money in your pocket through a simple, automated, and specific-to-you process?
-
When you have the information you need, you don't have to rely on an accountant or attorney to send you updates. Instead, you’d have the knowledge to take the necessary steps to keep your business up to speed. Plus, you’d be able to do this with minimal time investment on your part.
When you are ready to outsource, you'll feel like the true CEO of your business. You'll be able to oversee that work is being done correctly, obligations are being met, and that you're making smart investments in the right areas.
-
Instead of waiting for the other shoe to drop, or instead of feeling like you’re not doing something right… you’ll know what you need to do to unf*ck your biz, stay on the “right side of the law,” and protect yourself. Taxes and legal shit aren’t things you want to mess around with, but you CAN get on track with the right help.

Last year, I took Braden’s program, and it was hands down the best money I have spent on my business for this phase of my business.. It set me up for success in a business growth year, which was truly a bananas for myself and the just where we were in the industry. It gave me the solid cash flow systems I needed to make it through.

SOME FAQS

Actually, you totally can! Check out our signature 1-on-1 service if that's more your vibe.
This self-study program teaches you legal, tax, bookkeeping, and financial basics. Hiring out for each of these roles is not in budget for the vast majority of business owners not yet making six figures.
Here's a quote from Emily, owner of Anna Delores Photography that show why it's always good to learn on your own.
"I really decided to work with Braden because of the support with the LLC formation. I’m starting to hire employees so I knew I needed it. At first, I really just wanted to hire you 1-on-1, but you talked me into doing the course instead, and I’m so glad I did because the LLC part was pretty easy and I really needed all the other info in the program.
Going through the program, I learned so many things that I didn't even know that I needed, honestly. Like a basic understanding of cashflow is huge on its own. It’s kind of embarrassing that I ran my business for seven years without 100% knowing what my profit. I was just paying my bills and myself when I could thinking “Oh this is fine.”
-

A BIT MORE ABOUT YOUR TEACHER -
A BIT MORE ABOUT YOUR TEACHER -
I’ve done it. You can too.
By the time I got my bar results, I had a 480 credit score. Yikes. It was a struggle. I made $12,000 in my first year of business. In year 3, I generated, $70,000 year, but at 50% profitability, that left only about $25,000 after tax.
I felt like I could barely contribute to our household finances, which created personal stress, and a constant worry about whether I’d be able to able to stay self-employed while striving towards my bigger goals.
Around this time, I dug deep, focused on profit, prioritized paying myself, and built systems to serve each of these goals. Now, I’m paying myself a regular salary, and I want to help you do the same.'
WHY I LOVE HELPING CREATIVES
Growing up, I always loved HGTV and art. I dabbled in graphic design with little success.
I taught myself to knit, poorly. I was a sales associate for West Elm where I had difficulty designing for anyone that had different taste from myself. I even once bought DSLR, shot on auto for a year, gave up and sold it.
Why do I tell you these things? I have many times tried and failed to be a "creative" myself.
While it doesn't take much talent to have a creative hobby, it definitely takes skill and practice to monetize a creative passion and turn it into a career.
By working with creatives, I am able to use my skill in law and tax while also vicariously working in the creative industry through all of you amazing creativepreneurs. That's why I love what I do.
I personally cannot wait to guide you over the coming months…
I wake up every morning excited to roll up my sleeves and help my people.
In the process, I have helped hundreds of business owners shift from the constant confusion around legal and tax obligations to confidently knocking those tasks out and shifting focus to making strategic, profit driven decisions.
You owe it to yourself to do the same. We will dial in your long-term goals to help you focus on your short term objectives.
Inside of the Profit Rx, you will take real, tangible action to move your business forward, put more money in your personal bank account, and protect it with solid legal strategy.
Let's cheers to profit!
