 Lesson from this year: lawyers like telling you what you can’t do, not what you can

Offer you want to build, just do it 
 Lawyer here. I’m a litigator and notorious for “on the one hand” comments but if you can’t make a recommendation at the end of your caveats gfy 
 Right time & a place for expert knowledge of course 
 Why are you talking to yourself?  Maybe I can't see all the relays relevant to this convo... 😉 
 John replied to me 
 I think if lawyers followed up with what you can't do, with, but if you moved to x country or y jurisdictiction then you can do it. Now that would be a lawyer I'd pay money too! 
 had my fair share on this one. it taught me hard lessons to educate myself about my rights and to always question anyone's recommendation regardless of their job title. it works like a charm 👌☺️
