This one legal move could land you a dream client 🤩

Big things are happening here at Team Layne Lyons! I had the pleasure of hiring a couple of new team members this past summer. I’m sure you can appreciate how daunting the hiring process can be, but it’s also super exciting. 

As I reviewed loads of applications and portfolios provided by so many talented women, I knew I had to start narrowing my list. After all, I simply couldn’t conduct individual interviews with dozens of applicants. 

One thing became clear, almost subconsciously at first: 

The applicants who ran their business as an LLC stood out from the pack. My attention was immediately drawn to them, and when I noticed this, I started to reflect on why. 

Here’s what I landed on. Keep in mind, this is not scientific or psychologically proven at all… it’s simply how my mind worked as a business owner looking to hire a couple of independent contractors.

1 - Anyone with an LLC already in place showed me that they take their business seriously and plan to go places with it. It’s not just a side hustle or a hobby. Rather, they view it as a real career. 🚀

2 - It showed me that they care about conducting business in a safe, legal and professional manner. 🙌

3 - By obtaining their LLC, they’ve proven that they are resourceful, attentive to detail and have the ability to follow through on a not-always-straightforward process. 🤓

Again, these are simply my impressions as an entrepreneur looking to hire other entrepreneurs to work on my team. I also considered plenty of other factors, but I thought this little glimpse into my hiring process might help some of you land a future client.

If you’ve been pondering the question of should I or shouldn’t I when it comes to establishing your business as an LLC, perhaps this is the little nudge you need. 

Are you wondering what the heck is an LLC, and why would I need it?? You’re in luck! 

I’ve written an article on how LLCs work and how to figure out if you need one. Check it out for all the details: Is It Time for an LLC? Ask Yourself 4 Simple Questions.
