I had a lawyer check my website to make sure I covered my ass. Yet, apparently it was not a lawyer trained in startups. Us startup builders are dreamers and we chase them to the fullest of our imaginations. Do we think about laws when creating gifts for humanity? NO. That is why I paid my lawyer to check my website to make sure I did not do anything against the law. Cause I don't know what the laws are. I only know what my dreams are. I only chase the vision.
Well, I had a funny feeling that my ass was not backed up, so I sought out my other law firm and he set me straight! "Get That Off Your Website Now!" I promptly did it. I felt like some kind of criminal. I would never want to break any laws, but us startups break barriers when we create. We dance in rooms filled with vision of what could be. Laws don't live there. Imagination does.
I was horrified that I was doing something illegal. That is not me. Yet when building startups, you have to cover your ass, because us entrepreneurs cannot apply rules to reach into those undiscovered rooms of creating. None of us want to break any laws, we only seek to create something people want.
Here I am again, building and I thought I had crossed every road of mistakes in my past startup builds, yet, again I will be plagued with making mistakes. It's super hard to walk the road of mistakes. It makes you feel like a failure, when you were attempting to build great things for humanity. It is here we have to fix the problem and forgive ourselves for unknowingly breaking a law. : - /
