Whether you run your own company, are part of a high flying team or work as a freelancer - pretty much everyone of us will be undervaluing our intellectual assets. Yet they are the one thing that is totally unique to each of us, has the potential to create new value and will go on accruing as we get older... win, win, win.

So what do I mean by 'intellectual assets'? In a nutshell your intellectual assets are everything that has got you to here now. Without exception. Your childhood experience, your home, your lifelong client list, what you've ever been paid to do, your connections. By mapping these and auditing them inventively, you can develop a creative 'offer' that no-one will ever be able to compete with - because they are not you.

Standing back to see the patterns, the overlaps, the skills, new interesting sectors, services you can take from one client to another helps widen and refresh your offer. You can do it annually and each time new perspectives will emerge.

This methodology works across the board. It is simple and highly effective. And you already own the 'ingredients'.

Erica Wolfe-Murray

Founder @ Lola Media Ltd

Understanding and developing the value of intellectual assets is part of the methodology I developed in helping over 300 creative agencies and professionals to grow their business. Because I can only work with a given number at any one time, I poured my knowledge about this into a book to make it accessible to everyone. With only 5* reviews on Amazon, it will help you unpack the intellectual asset thinking to find new revenues and value in your own business - from what you already own.

[While negotiating], you don't have to state your current salary - the question is not where you are, it's where you should be. Be specific and let them know what your deal breakers are.

How to Negotiate Salary: 37 Tips You Need to Know

Self-inquisition tends to be so critical when all it really means is, to be honest with yourself and remember who you are when we're lost in the world. Whenever I feel shaken, I have to return to the core of who I am and remind myself that I'm only human and I must be kind to myself.

Are you too critical of yourself?

I like to reflect on my old journals, writings, and review old goals so I know when to move onto new goals and think about how I've done it in the past. My number one advice is to not be afraid to ask strangers for help and leave your comfort zone/don’t be afraid to go back. If you're looking to start something new, think "how hard can it be?" Just remember everyone has to figure it out when they do something the first time, so fake it till you make it and be patient!

CAREER PATHS 6 Fresh Ways to Find Your Passion

Stop searching for your passion

When trying something new or different, check to see if your grounds are covered. Do you have mentors or partners to support you? Remember to check your own ego. Are you really the right person to do that? Are you the right vehicle for that idea? Or does it just sound nice for you to do that thing? Be sure to check yourself and be comfortable with your answers.
