“Keep moving forward boldly, God has your back” - Girija Patel.

Everyone has been hearing more and more about ChatGPT and other AI tools that seem to have completely taken over how we communicate. While they are great tools that come with many pros (even I can’t deny that), what about the cons? Is there actually a wrong way to use AI? Omgoodness has anyone considered how using it can impact you legally?

That’s why I’m happy to have Girija Patel, Founder and Attorney at GBP Law, join me for this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method for Side Hustlers. She answers all of those burning questions and really breaks down what you NEED to do before using AI in your business.

Here's what is covered:
- What you should understand about AI and how it actually works.
- The ONE thing that most people actually neglect doing when using AI.
- The 3 important factors that everyone needs to take seriously about information from AI.
- The legal ramifications of misusing AI for your Business.

Girija is a mom, a wife, lawyer, podcaster, strategist, educator, and a business owner in Houston, Texas. Her law practice, GBP Law, specifically focuses on helping entrepreneurs and on-line business owners build their business’ legal fundamentals and integrate legal as a part of their strategy so they can move forward confidently and do what they love! Her goal is to help make legal a line item and not a panic attack!
In 2020, Girija launched Your Contract Buddy (www.yourcontractbuddy.com), an online contract template shop, and also founded her podcast, Law Chat with Girija. From her days of being a prosecutor to managing her own law practice and to being lead legal strategist for your business, Girija’s core value to serve her community remains at the center of all her endeavors.

"Be yourself! Share your awkwardness because that's what people want to know about you and it will probably become a crucial part of your Business anyway." - CJ

I know that some might be thinking: “WAIT.… CJ? AN INTROVERT?” YES, I am - big time. Some words used to describe me have been outgoing, engaging, relatable, approachable, etc etc. Yes I can get up on stage and speak to an audience and even make them laugh and all that jazz… but HONEY let me tell you how I have to coach myself before I show up anywhere.

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method for Side Hustlers, you'll hear 5 of my secrets of being able to show up as an introverted Entrepreneur including:
- how I manage my emotions before they cripple me in a social or networking setting.
- what I do to ensure I make authentic connections that will grow my network and awareness of my brand.
- how I deal with those not-so-great parts of building relationships.

"If you are not taking care of your yourself, that means that you can't put out products or services that reflect who you are, and your clients won't be getting the best version of you." - CJ

Do something for yourself, your body and mind will thank you.

It's another "In My Business" episode and I share how I started the practice of napping in University, that continued into corporate (Oh yes, I slept at work ALL the time) and now as an Entrepreneur. I discuss how important it is as a solopreneur to listen to the cues that your body gives you asking for you to take better care of yourself, so you side-biz continues to be a well-oiled machine.

Do you tend to take naps? What works best for you when you need a break? Let me know in an email: hello@christennjames.com!

I know I may sound like I’m contradicting myself here BIG TIME, but there are 2 sides to everything and that includes procrastination.

Which kind of pro are you? Are you a PROcrastinator or is this a part of your PROcessor?

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method for Side Hustlers, I challenge the status quo when it comes to people's perception of Procrastination. There is actually a chance that you may not actually be procrastinating based on the actual definition! But of course, this is within reason. Don't you DARE go saying that CJ told you it's okay to procrastinate now!

Here's what's covered:

- Identify why people make excuses.
- How to find the "right time" as an Over-thinker.
- How to identify if you're actually a PROcessor.
