Is membership in The Wise Owl Academy right for me?

The Wise Owl Academy membership IS right for you if you…

  • Want to know that your business is legally compliant.
  • Desire to proactively protect yourself and your business.
  • Enjoy learning new things in a fun and easy format.
  • Appreciate the value of working with and learning from an attorney with 35+ years of experience.

The Wise Owl Academy membership IS NOT for you if you:

  • Really believe that laws and regulations don’t apply to your business and would prefer not to be told otherwise. 😉
  • Subscribe to the philosophy that ignorance is bliss.
  • Believe that all lawyers are inherently evil people chasing the almighty buck.

Yes, Please!

    Before working with Cheri, I had no idea what my legal exposure was for email marketing, website visitors, and many other issues. The courses in The Wise Owl Academy took me step-by-step through understanding it all easily. I love attending Cheri’s LIVE Masterclasses because simply by showing up I learn. If you want to stop wondering if you are making the correct basic legal decisions in your business, join The Wise Owl Academy!
