Episode #217. As experts, we don’t typically think about selling our business, especially if it's a personal brand! However, the same foundation that goes into creating a business that is saleable goes into creating one that is SCALABLE.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

What are intellectual assets?
Defining Saleable vs. sellable
How to uncover your “Rembrandt in the attic”
What needs to be in place to have a certification program.
How to button up your intellectual property rights.
How to establish a strong business foundation (both internally and externally)

Favorite Quotes

“Add leverage to your business so that you can either increase profits through a more efficient use of time or more efficient delivery of services.”

“Contracts do not have to be complicated. I don't want anyone to think this is the point of friction because it's going to be this big, complicated thing that's going to scare people. They can be written in plain English and standardized so that you can use them again and again.”
