No I don’t mean cloning! I mean duplicating yourself; leveraging your skills, abilities and knowledge to create more value and help more people.

How to Duplicate Yourself With Your Intellectual Property

First, consider these questions… What business are you in?  What products/services do you offer?

Even if you don’t currently have your own business. Perhaps you have a marketable skill, talent or expertise? What do you know that could benefit others if they had that same knowledge? This is your IP (Intellectual Property). What is Intellectual Property? It is information, it exists first inside of your head and is then reproduced in various forms (printed, spoken, tangible, recorded, etc.)

Now, here comes the duplication… How can you turn your Intellectual Property into a tangible form? i.e. a book, website, DVD, CD, e-book, digital product, etc.

It is in the creation of an educational product, based on your expertise, that you can duplicate yourself.  The amount of people you can personally visit with and talk to one-on-one is limited. Offering your service as a product you can sell to others allows you to influence an infinitely greater amount of people.

Here are some examples of how others are duplicating themselves.

A Financial Advisor who teaches people how to get out of debt, rather than meeting with each individual in person, can create an audio CD or visual DVD teaching people the same strategies.

A Business Coach, Branding, or Marketing expert, can take their clients through their process via a video or audio CD.  This can even be done online on a website.

A Home Gardening Expert can create a video showing a step-by-step process of home gardening.

There are so many things that can be taught, so many ways to do it, and so many experts out there, the possibilities are endless. Some of the richest people in the world have made their fortune selling books and other products that teach others how to do what they do.

Now ask yourself: “What skill, talent, trait, knowledge, or expertise do I have that can be turned into a product?” (DVD, CD, book, e-book, website, blog, newsletter, software, etc.)

This is my venue to share with the world some of the experiences, knowledge and skills that I have acquired throughout my life.  Originally I thought of creating a blog about internet marketing and search engine optimization, I also thought of blogging about business success principles.  This blog is going to be about all that and more. Specifically I will write about things I’ve learned as an Entrepreneur regarding successes and failures.  I will also write about how to leverage the power of the internet to make your business more successful.  I’ll even draw upon my knowledge and beliefs being the spiritual and religious person that I am. While the content on this site will vary and be rather random in topic, I believe it will contain information considered valuable to many of its readers.

I believe that each of us has a divine mission and purpose; and that God has a plan for us. I believe that by calling upon that supreme being, by whatever name you prefer to call upon, we can receive inspiration that will guide us in our life.
