Trademark protection is critical in order to:

1- establish
2- protect
3- preserve

Your brand value & position in the marketplace.

It helps you not just stand out from competitors, but also maintain dominance and even “control” your competitors to a certain extent.

Let me repeat that again- you can dictate the way your competitors compete in your market by understanding how to use trademarks.

Trademarks blend legal, marketing, branding and expansion strategies.

That’s powerful!!

[How To Monetize Your Skills]

You asked and we listened.

"Sid- how else can I monetize my education, skills, and experiences more effectively?"

I get asked this questions almost every single day.

The people asking me these questions are entrepreneurial-minded people who feel that they have not reached their full potential.

These are people with full-time jobs or those who already operate another business but want to monetize their education and experiences even more.

One of the best ways to monetize your education, skills or experiences, quickly, is to start a consulting firm.

A consulting firm:
(1) Has low setup costs
(2) Can have high-demand
(3) Is easy to scale
(4) Is easy to operate
(5) Can become profitable quickly

There are many advantages to starting a consulting firm, such as:
(1) A consulting firm allows you to share your knowledge and help people
(2) A consulting firm can be put together in about 30-days
(3) A consulting firm allows you to create an additional source of income
(4) A consulting firm can have products, services, programs & software
(5) A consulting firm helps you turn ideas and skills into revenue quickly

Sounds amazing, but how do you go about creating a consulting firm quickly?

I introduce to you: "Digitize. Publicize. Monetize."

A simple 3-Phased Approach to building a profitable consulting firm.

Phase 1: DIGITIZE:
"Go from idea to launch in 30-days"

Transform knowledge, skills, and ideas into consulting digital products and services in the first 30-days.

I'm talking about ideas, skills, education, experience, talents, and knowledge that you already possess. You are just digitizing it.

30-days is plenty of time to do that.

Week 1- Business Model:
Figure out the model, market, message and $ math

Week 2- Legal Model:
Figure out the business and legal structure, risks, etc.

Week 3- Marketing Model:
Create a website and marketing assets (Facebook & Google)

Week 4- Technology Model:
Integrate automation and technology

In the first 30-days, the focus is on LAUNCHING your firm.

It's about taking action.
It's about going for the kill.
It's about stepping out of your comfort zone and making things happen.

Phase 2: PUBLICIZE
Next, it's time to publicize your consulting firm.

In phase 1, you built out a social and digital campaign - which you will now launch. This will start filling the pipeline with leads quickly.

The idea is to perfect the social and digital game while exploring other marketing avenues like radio, print, podcast, video marketing, email marketing, workshop invitation and influencer marketing.

I will not get into the details of the publicity phase in this post because that's a whole different beast. It's one that is going to be perfected as your business grows.

Phase 3: MONETIZE

Here, the focus is on developing multiple revenue streams and conversion points so you can reach your full potential.

It involves creating intellectual property.
It involves entering into joint venture deals.
It involves expansion of your business nationally or internationally.
It involves writing books, hosting workshops and leading a community.

As you can imagine, phase 2 and phase 3 go hand-in-hand.

Everything starts with the first step - starting and launching.

Then you are committed to growing your firm. It will push you forward and help you step out of your comfort zone and market yourself.

----------- an example ----------

As an Intellectual Property Attorney, the process of "creating, protecting and monetizing" knowledge intrigues me.

Intellectual means you "mind" and property is something that can be "owned, traded, or given commercial value".

That's exactly what I've described above. Digitizing your knowledge, protecting it from all sides, and monetizing it in different ways.

Instead of talking about this process, I wanted to guide you these steps by actually creating a new consulting firm, digitizing my skills and knowledge, publicizing it to entrepreneurs, like you, and monetize it using a variety of different conversion points - products, services, workshops, speaking arrangements, joint venture partnerships, etc.

We are going to reveal everything we are doing so you can construct the consulting firm you have been thinking about, with us, alongside us.

TRADEMARK THURSDAYS™

[FREE SLIDE FOR YOU TO USE]

It's TRADEMARK THURSDAY!!

Yesterday, I had a client who flew in from Phoenix to see me for a 60-minute consultation.

She's the owner of a very busy legal marketing and branding company. She also has her own cosmetic line and hosts group events to sell her product on the side.

In the past 12 months, she hosted 3-4 of these cosmetic "workshops" and generated over half a million in revenue.

She flew in to see me because she noticed someone started another company with a similar name and branding.

She was not sure what to do. She was worried if her brand may dilute in value or may even be sued by the other party.

THE POINT:
So - the point of this little story from last night is the importance of "asset identification".

On the slide, you'll see I have "broken down" or "listed" about 15 different "ASSETS" you possess in your business RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK.

Each and every single thing you create in your business CAN be monetized. If it has a commercial value, it should be identified as an asset, and maybe even "converted" into intellectual property.

For example:

Start from the first step. YOUR BUSINESS NAME.

You name, logo, catch-phrase: Should you trademark it?
Of course - do you want to PREVENT anyone in the US from using your business name, logo or anything similar to that?

If it's a yes, then think trademark. A registered trademark.

® not ™. WHY?

® protects the mark in the entire country. If theres a dispute of two parties with similar names, ® vs ™...one with a registered mark and one with a "common-law" (not registered but used in trade) -

- ® holder usually wins nationally.
- ™ holder usually gets a smaller geographic area where they can prove the consumer readily identifies them.
(of course other factors do matter as well).

So - a few hundred dollars to get your brand name registered CAN:

(a) Increase the value of your business immediately
(b) Give you a weapon to control competitors
(c) Helps you brand yourself without second guessing
(d) Increases your "brand reputation" that it's not a company that's going to close a month later after taking a payment (perceived)

MONETIZE IT EVEN MORE...

Maybe you are thinking of franchising or expanding or hiring "re-sellers".

Your TRADEMARKED NAME can be licensed for a fee.

Your TRADEMARK is worth value.
It derives .
It increase net worth of your .

THAT is just ONE SINGLE item on this slide.

Each "item" on this list can be TRANSFORMED into intellectual property and captured in contracts in this manner.

(SORRY LONG POST) But hope it was helpful for today!!

Curious - how many people have a ?

Entrepreneurs often tell us they feel "confused" and "overwhelmed" because they are wearing too many hats in their business.

This usually happens because at every stage of growth, there are additional layers of responsibilities and a new set of challenges that require the attention of the business-owner, i.e. YOU.

As a result of this, entrepreneurs end up making poor business decisions, do not go about their business in a strategic or tactical manner and execute poorly drafted contracts.

Over the past 12 years, I've had over 5000, in-depth, 1:1 meetings with small business owners who realized all this too late - they ended up filing bankruptcy and liquidation orders.

Think about your business for a second --> are you assets protected from your clients, vendors, employees, contractors, coaches, marketers, investors, and competitors?

have you thought about all the risks and conflicts that arise from the transactions with these parties?

Look - this is very important. I'm sure you know that.

It's time to take affirmative action and be proactive, rather than "reactive" - sometimes, your reaction may inflict irreparable financial losses.

Lucky for you, I've created a FREE Business & Legal Training Webinar that walks you through a detailed analysis of how these concepts work.

You'll get the change to not just learn but ACTUALLY apply these strategies during the webinar as we walk through it.

It's NOT JUST A WEBINAR => It's the catalyst for something much bigger... IT'S YOUR EMPOWERMENT.

Our aim is to provide you with the information that you can apply right away so you can PROTECT YOUR LEGACY.

Take the time to make decisions with precision in your business.

(2) Go through Google in detail to ensure no one is using that name or website URL
