Right now, your signature frameworks, your course content, and your proven processes might be completely unprotected. That VA you hired on Fiverr? They might be downloading your materials. That contractor who helped build your course? They could launch a competing version next month.
Most entrepreneurs assume their work is protected just because they created it. The truth is far more complicated — especially if you're working with contractors, virtual assistants, or using AI tools to create content.
The entrepreneurs who protect their intellectual property aren't paranoid. They're professional.
💡
Your Signature Frameworks
The unique methods and systems you've developed could be worth $25,000+ in development time. Are they legally yours?
📚
Your Course & Content
Every module, worksheet, and video you've created. If a team member helped build it, who actually owns it?
🤖
Your AI-Created Materials
Content created with AI tools has murky ownership rules. Do your contracts address this? Most don't.
👥
Your Client Processes
The systems and workflows that make your business run. Could a departing team member take them to a competitor?
🌐
Your Online Presence
Your brand assets, social content, and digital properties. Who controls access? What happens if someone leaves?
📝

Angie created the Copycat Risk Factor because she kept seeing the same heartbreaking pattern: brilliant entrepreneurs losing their best ideas because they didn't know what protections to put in place.
