The Wild Goose Chase

Ready to transform your life and achieve your goals? 

On today’s show, I’m super excited to share one of my favourite authors of all time. 

Trevor G. Blake, a physicist, entrepreneur, and author of ‘Three Simple Steps’, has built companies worth over $1.3 billion and exited three of them for about $600 million, all while working only a few hours a day. 

How did he do it? By setting the right intentions. 

In ‘Three Simple Steps’, Trevor outlines his approach, which is based on scientific principles and can help you overcome debt, unlock your creativity, and transform your life.

And if you think it sounds too good to be true, Trevor himself is proof that it works. He went from being an average student to becoming an officer in the Royal Navy, and then went on to build successful companies without ever employing anyone.

So if you're ready to break free from mediocrity and achieve your wildest dreams, don't miss out on this inspiring episode. Join us as we learn from Trevor G. Blake and discover the power of intention setting.

Have you ever considered how intellectual property (IP) can create additional revenue streams, wealth, or a saleable asset for your business? 

If not, then you're in luck because today, we're joined by Corinne Whelan, an IP lawyer, who will help you understand how to protect your IP, assign transferable value, and find hidden value in your business.

You might be surprised to learn that people often overlook different types of IP. Suppose you have documented systems, protected your brand name, and kept good records of your client list.

The benefit? You could add millions of dollars of value to your business...

And that's not all! We'll also discuss determining who owns what aspects of your IP as you scale up your business. It's something you want to leave until it's too late.

So, whether you're a startup or an established business, this podcast has something for everyone. As business owners, Gabi and I have been through the process of assigning our own IP, and we know how important it is. Trust us; you don't want to miss this episode.
