E21: Why I Love Licensing


Listen Later

I’m always preaching about the ways expertise-based service providers can scale their business using their intellectual property (IP) as an asset. In Episode 21 of Hourly to Exit, I open the firehose and introduce a whole bunch of approaches that convert your IP into an asset that you can sell without relying on yourself to deliver the service. In this episode I cover some serious ground, including

  • An introduction to types of IP based-revenue streams and what “Licensing” means in this context
  • My favorite flavor of IP licensing that I call “Train the Trainer” – what it is, who it works for, and why I love it
  • Another popular licensing option – Certification – and some of its downsides
  • As a bonus I provide some insights into distinguishing between your IP and that of others so that you don’t end up in trouble for violating your duties as a licensee
  • I’m such a fan of Train the Trainer because it leverages your existing resources and offers a win-win to your existing clients. The podcast is an introduction, but if you think you are ready for starting your own program, contact me to talk about your options.
