GUARD YOUR GOLDMINE

You may be thinking, “A goldmine? Where is my goldmine?”  Have you created a website, blog, newsletter, manual, marketing materials, photos, audio/videos?

Yes? 

Then you have a GOLDMINE of assets.

• You have poured out your blood, sweat, tears, time, and money to create that intellectual property.
• The last thing you want to discover: Someone has just swooped in and taken those assets…ROBBED YOUR GOLDMINE.  

How do you feel?

• Now you’ll have to spend time, money, and energy to Defend Your Goldmine.
