About

"Sam Vander Wielen's business and legal templates are an awesome resource for coaches and other entrepreneurs. Sam has done an incredible job making these resources accessible - from both an ease and a cost perspective. Her legal expertise, entrepreneurial skills, and desire to empower other business owners sets her apart in this work! Not only are the templates simple to use and customize, but each template comes with an incredibly helpful tutorial video! As an attorney turned health coach, I am so grateful for these resources. As business owners, we spend so much time and energy building our businesses. I'm grateful to Sam for making it easy to protect all of that hard work!" - Simi Botic, simibotic.com

"Working with Sam was a breeze. She helped us determine our legal needs to protect our websites, and walked us through each step of the way using the templates - not that we needed much help, the templates and videos were so simple to follow! Being small business owners, in our very first year of business, it was a relief to find an affordable and trustworthy option for our website terms and conditions. Sam's mix of passion for wellness and entrepreneurship, combined with her legal background makes her a pleasure to work with, and a great resource as we continue to grow our brand!" - Kate, Jess & Jen of The Good Fest, thegoodfest.com

I booked a BizStorming™ Session with Sam because I was feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the next steps in my business. I'm making some shifts and needed help figuring out HOW to make it happen. Sam not only helped me lay out a clear business plan, but she also broke everything down into bite-sized steps so my overwhelm turned into total excitement! I can't wait to make transitions in my business, and I have Sam to thank. Sam truly cares about her clients. She puts so much thought and good intention into her work, AND she's amazing to work with -- so smart, down-to-earth, kind-hearted and savvy. Between her DIY legal templates and now the BizStorming™ Session, Sam's become my go-to for legal + business help. I can't recommend her enough!

I connected with Sam’s business through Instagram and scheduled a free 20-minute Legal Checkup as soon as I could. I knew I needed help navigating the next steps in becoming an LLC and making sure my clients and myself were protected - and Sam was eager to listen and provide encouragement to meet me where I was. I scheduled a Bizstorming session and was amazed how clear Sam outlined the next steps to establish my business and become legally protected. After our call I felt equipped and empowered to tackle the logistical sides of my biz I had been avoiding. Working with Sam helped me overcome the obstacles and fears I’d been facing. As a new business with a small income, I was hesitant to make the investment for a BizStorming session, BUT I am 110% grateful for Sam’s insight and guidance." - Karly Prichard, karlyprichard.com

"Go to Sam for ALL your online biz legal needs. Seriously. Sam is the perfect combo of savvy legal info and boss babe. I came to her with TONS of legal questions about how to run my business online and she patiently and thoroughly answered all my questions and gave me peace of mind in my online business. She hooked me up with an Affiliate Agreement template and that Agreement has so far helped me to bring in over 50% of my business revenue. She also sent along a clear, concise and very helpful video explaining EXACTLY what my new contracts mean so I can intelligently answer questions for my clients. Sam really, really cares about her clients and the people she works with and she goes above and beyond to provide an efficient, clear and all around delightful experience. Sam will continue to be my go-to gal for all my legal mentorship needs." - Mel Judson, meljudson.com

Sam is the go-to source when it comes to simple, accessible and affordable legal solutions for entrepreneurs. Transitioning my business to the online space left me with more than a few legal gaps to fill, which was extremely stressful! As an entrepreneur, I wanted to focus on my business and clients and not worry about the legal details. In a short-time frame Sam set me up with some templates and disclaimers for my online services. Her videos walked me through exactly how to use them, and she's always available to answer questions so that the process is really simple. Thanks, Sam, for providing such a necessary service to entrepreneurs so that we can stay legally legit. - Justine Cappel, twentytoesfitness.com

Before meeting and working with Sam, I was so unsure of what I needed legally in my business in order to be totally legally legit. I knew things were missing, but I wasn't sure what was the priority or even where to find what I needed for my unique business. After working with Sam, I feel so confident that I have what I need on my website and in my business that I feel even more confident putting myself out there to attract new clients and opportunities. That confidence has turned into more paying clients and consistency in my business. For the first time in a long time, I don't feel like I'm hiding. I'm now sharing my business with my ideal clients confidently and with the comfort that it's being conducted legally! If you feel less than confident in your business or putting yourself out there, you might not think that getting yourself legally set up will build that confidence, but it truly was a game changer for me more than any mindset action I've ever done. - Cristina, www.nourishmbml.com

Our BizStorming session with Sam was so helpful — but what was even better was her follow up and follow through. There was a mystery we uncovered while on our 90-minute BizStorming session and she made sure that we got our answer as soon as possible. In addition, she has followed up numerous times to make sure that the process was going well with moving our LLC to a different state. Sam is patient, kind, knowledgeable and resourceful. We recommend her so highly! - Rachel & Kyle Wright, www.wrightwellnesscenter.com

Sam is truly a gem! What Sam was able to do was not only provide answers on the nitty gritty legal aspects but she was also able to switch to the bigger picture of helping me with my biz. I find that many coaches can be very motivating but it’s hard to walk away with tasks and to-dos that are relevant to what I specifically need. I also feel confident in her answers about legal issues AND entrepreneurial issues as well. Not many can do both (in fact, I don’t know anyone who can do both). So please know that Sam will not only give you the info for your specific Qs, she’ll also take you back a step to look at the bigger picture of your business and where you want to go, which is incredibly invaluable! Working with Sam allowed me to gain clarity and insight with her savvy business practice tips for improving client workflow and communication because we all know that a bad workflow can turn your hourly rate into pennies -- and this is your immediate return on investing in a session with Sam. She'll take your inefficiencies and potential loopholes and straighten them out so you can get on a path to being more profitable with your business. And you'll also want to be her friend because she's so awesome. Thank you, Sam, for everything! - Celia Ragonese, antrimandsprucephotography.com

I purchased Sam's Total Website Solution bundle... all things I thought I could skate by without. However, in just putting them up on my website I instantly felt more protected, more successful, and totally set up as a legit business owner... it was incredibly empowering. It made me feel like the CEO of my business. It truly made me feel "legally legit" which in turn, empowered me as a coach. I will ALWAYS recommend the business owners in my life to Sam. She's the BOMB. Sam, truly. You're incredible. You're fun to talk to, you're supportive, informative, and you truly have a gift of empowering others and helping them to their next level. Thank you! - Paige Schmidt, paigeschmidt.com

"I needed clarification on starting my new business. Sam is so relatable and easy to talk to, I knew she would be able to help steer me in the right direction! Sam gave me clarity on my next action steps and helped calm my anxieties about my new business. Sam makes everything SO easy and accessible! Sam is so down to earth and she really gets the small business and coaching world." - Nina Boyce of Nourished With Nina

"Sam was so easy to talk with and easy to get a hold of. Her templates were intuitively easy to use. I opened to windows and watched the videos as I customized my documents relevant to me and my business. Having her personal support up front was the game changer for me as I contacted other people that offered the same product but couldn't get a hold of easily. Sam feels like a good friend and offers you support in a powerful yet feminine way. She is there to help you and is not full of her ego or in any way there to rip you off. I have a friend and confidant for life!" - Paula Sockolich of Sacred Lotus Healing

"I wanted my clients to understand exactly what I provide and what I do not provide. I was so worried that I would get into legal trouble for not healing someone, when my job as a counselor is give them the tools to do the work themselves. The templates are so easy to use! Sam puts the video tutorials in a simple, easy to digest format. I can now explain the contracts to future clients so they can absorb the information." - Mara Davanzati of Nourish Sankalpa, nourishsankalpa.com

Before I found Sam, I didn’t have any contracts for my group coaching program and needed something ASAP. After I purchased my first template from Sam I had a few questions. I sent her an email and she replied in detail while she was traveling abroad, I felt so taken care of 🤗. Since then I’ve needed a few more contracts and Sam always makes the process so easy and helps me decide which would be best for me. I highly recommend working with Sam! - Caty Kidd, catykidd.com

I had no idea how to get my business started before taking Fearlessly Legal™.  Sam created a go-to hub of knowledge that answered every question I had...and some I didn't know I should. The info on starting an LLC was invaluable! Fearlessly Legal™ gave me the knowledge and confidence I needed to register my LLC and launch my business! Without Sam I'm not sure if I would have gotten started yet, but now I'm seeing clients and my business is expanding. Fearlessly Legal™ is so worth it! Whether you already have a business or you're just starting, this course has the answer to all your questions." - Mandy

"I was so freaked out by not having the right things in place for GDPR. Sam's privacy policy template helped so much! Sam helped me feel at ease that I was protected by the new GDPR rules and regulations. The template was so easy to use - literally took me 30 minutes to buy, download, and upload to my website. And knowing that I'm legally protected - that's huge. Especially when married to a guy in insurance - he's all about low risk :)" - Caitlin Ball, Caitlin Ball Health & Lifestyle Coaching

I came to Sam to help me take the guesswork out of protecting my website. Sam's legal templates helped make my life so much easier due to the quality, thoroughness and ease of the fill-in-the-blank feature. It helped me to understand what I needed for my website and the proper information to include.  Starting off with a free Legal Checkup with Sam put my mind at ease for what I would be getting into for purchasing the templates. Sam knew exactly what I needed to protect my website! -  Jessica Rinzuello, Heartfelt Health Coaching LLC

"As three sisters running a health coaching practice together, we had tons of questions about...well...everything [LIKE how to register as a business!] With our unique situation of making money both as a whole and individually with our own clients, we did not know where to start. We are so happy that we found Sam to send us in the right direction. Sam was well worth it!" - Carly, Alaina and Julie Beyar, Balanced Beyars Health Coaching

"As I started to expand my consulting and blogging business, I was looking to bring on a few independent contractors as well as have a better contract for my clients. I loved working with Sam because not only are her templates well-written, she provide very helpful guidance both in her 20-minute Legal Checkup call and the How-To Video Tutorials provided with each template so that it's really easy to implement and adjust for my specific business. It gives me a lot of comfort knowing that I'm entering into both my client relationships and relationships with my independent contractors with a thorough and clear contract that will protect us both. I can't say enough about how practical and clear Sam's templates are, and how helpful the video tutorials were. I have purchased legal templates from other shops before but found them riddled with errors and felt that there wasn't enough guidance provided on how to complete them." - Meg Wheeler, Meg K. Wheeler

"I was worried about being compliant with GDPR and also admittedly confused about how to protect my business online, both on my website and my freebie opt-in. Sam's legal templates gave me great relief and a sense of calm because now I know I've protected my business, safeguarded my opt-in (and future courses) from people who might try to copy it, and made it really clear what I do and do not offer as a mindset coach. Sam's templates were formatted nicely and the How-To video tutorials that accompanied the templates were super helpful. I loved the succinct nature of the videos - a friend of mine who purchased legal templates from someone else had to sit through 45 minute videos and I prefer to have it all summarized in 15-20 minutes like Sam did." - Shannon Egan, Ishiki Insights

"I was so unsure of whether or not I had all the proper documents to get started so I basically never really did. I completed some things but kept second guessing myself and reading conflicting information, so I never moved forward with my business.  With the Fearlessly Legal Ultimate Bundle, I was able to know I'd done everything correctly and felt confident in proceeding with advertising my services and felt ready to take on clients. Not only did I get answers to my questions I went in with, but I learned answers to questions I didn’t know I should be asking! It’s really helped me feel totally confident in knowing I have a good foundation for running my business in a safe legal way." - Michelle Curtis, NTP, Body Rebalanced

"I was really unsure of what I needed to have on my website for a Disclaimer, and whether or not I needed a Privacy Policy, as well as if the short disclaimer I was using on my blog was enough. I really needed to understand better what was needed for my profession legally and how to do that without spending thousands of dollars with an attorney that didn't fully understand what I do. The Ultimate Bundle really explained the 'why' of the legal templates and when to use them. The 10 legal templates that came in the Ultimate Bundle were so easy to use and came with their own video tutorial on how to fill them out so I could tailor them to my business and needs. The format of the course modules and Sam's willingness to help answer questions if I wasn't sure what a section of a form meant or if needed clarification, were so helpful. If a friend asked if she should invest in the Ultimate Bundle, I'd say "Do it!" Don't waste your time and effort trying to piece something together on your own, leaving you vulnerable. It will put your mind at ease, knowing that you've covered your bases and you'll be empowered with information on what all those legal terms mean. Sam definitely makes it all seem less scary to figure out!" - Aypril Porter, Living Matters Nutrition
