Maintaining Your Lease Agreements

I recently learned about the holistic beauty approach by Amnazone, a skincare and lifestyle brand that mirrors many of the concepts I encourage in the legal field. Within the skincare community, there has been a focus on multi-step regimens and personalized routines, where one’s goals are matched with methods for revolutionary skin health. You then have the Board of Health and a long history of rules governing this industry. Skincare is regimented, just like your contracts should be- which brings me to my latest promoted article on maintaining your lease agreements.

The importance of a dedicated skincare routine and documentation is much like having organized and updated leases. After all, there is nothing worse than opening a cabinet and finding old creams and ointments sitting at the back, covered in dust and expired (or, God forbid, rancid) before you notice it. It is like having an expired or missing lease in a real estate or commercial situation – or like pulling out the wrong bottle of cocktail sauce when having shrimp cocktail- all of these moments hurt more than the bad skin or the unexpected outcome of a legal matter.

Your skin and mind should be clear and organized, with a document explaining every nuance of your treatment, as in what to use, when to use it, and what style of use. Think of your skin like having an entity or a person, where there is a beauty document and organization like leases and the corporate documents you maintain and build into your business and legal strategies. Your skin needs an organized approach to appropriate care and treatment, as a company or an individual needs clarity in business structure and operations.

Keeping track of multiple products, vessels and application schedules should be simplified so the routines can reward you with the healthy skin you desire. And keeping track of contracts, documents and schedules should be simplified so that almost every situation can be handled by rote memory, training and experience. It is about routine, clear documentation and dedicated practice.

Your skin is a part of your body and your mind – all and every reaction to an irritation is a full body effort by your immune system. And thus, like having documents filed with the district court or records maintained for an audit, your skin benefits from and rewards regular and repeated attention. Just like you manage the contracts that define your business, you should manage your skin with an equally regular level of attention and care.

The same approach to clear skincare and solid contracts also holds true for managing the legal and practical aspects of running a business and practicing law. The first step is to ask yourself, “do I need to keep old lease agreements?” A whole history of legal services isn’t worth much if it isn’t clear and easy to understand in the present. You should take the time to dehydrate and separate, like having non-liquid applications and products, so that you can process your legal issues similarly.

Yes, your skin deserves higher quality legal services and personal attention, just like you deserve a high-quality beauty regimen. And if you have questions on handling an expiration or other related issue, make sure to contact your attorney for answers. At a minimum, you will be aware of the liability, and how to respond to the situation, going forward.
