[FULL] Isya: “How You Do One Thing Is How You Do Everything”, Make Sure You Have Contracts To Protect Yourself When Starting A Business!

I, for one, couldn’t stand the idea of listening to just one side of the story when Sha came onto the show and talked about her entrepreneurial journey with Isya. I had to get Isya on. Just like I thought, their stories are aligned! One would be extra motivated listening to both their stories of how they set out to start a business of their own. One would be even deeply touched to hear how they stood for each other during bad times.

But speaking to Isya was more than about her journey, it was because of one lesson Sha made sure I learnt, which was to get yourself a contract when in business. Isya taught her this. If you are starting your own business, Isya couldn’t stress enough how important contracts are, not to deceive, but to protect all parties involved. This is just the kind of conversation I yearn for when I start out on a journey of entrepreneurship.
