## Resource

Sarah Fox is a lawyer transforming the way people do business. After decades dealing with huge deals in the construction sector, she realised that long, complex and bad contracts were costing time, money, deals and relationships. Sarah advocates for short, simple contracts starting with just 500 words. She inspires people across industries to streamline deals and enhance customer relations with contracts that represent their values, embed trust, and keep everyone protected. In this show Sarah will be sharing how speakers can create simpler contracts that can build bigger speaking businesses. What you'll discover: • The real cost of bloated contracts (and who they're really protecting) • What actually counts as a "contract" (yes, even that email thread! • How to price and protect your work, your recordings, and your energy • Why your contract should sound like you — not your solicitor's scary cousin • What red flags to watch for in pre-gig conversations • How your contract can actually accelerate your business (yes, really!) • How Sarah's TEDx moment and Happy Fee rule changed how she does business • The 3 C's every speaker contract should cover — and what to say when someone says "That's a bit pricey, isn't it?" Enjoy! If you've ever said "I'll just send them a quick email" instead of a proper agreement… this episode is for you. It's time to simplify, protect, and sound more like you in every part of your speaking business — including the small print.
