あらすじ・解説
It’s common for entrepreneurs to have their lightbulb moment and run full speed ahead with their ideas.
Sometimes it’s at the expense of doing their due diligence.
They might skip the research and legal phases of creating their product or business - missteps that affect them later in the process. And when it comes to things like intellectual property and getting patents, you don’t want to miss your window of time because you’re concerned about costs while starting out.
It’s a legitimate concern to be sure. There are always fires to put out, and maybe cash is limited starting out. If my lawyer friend didn’t push me to meet with a lawyer while starting Marie Mae, I’d probably have skipped it, too. But I’m glad I didn’t!
With that in mind, Devin Miller stops by to discuss his patent and trademark law firm that focuses on serving startups and small businesses. He’s no stranger to that arena - he’s founded several startups of his own! Drawing from his personal experience, he explains common mistakes business founders make, as well as valuable advice he’d give to his clients.
You’ll have great takeaways for your entrepreneurial venture and even a bit of homework for next steps, including ideas for your legal consultation.
Takeaways from this episode:
-Write your idea down and come back to it in a week. If you’re still excited about your idea, you’re more likely to follow through and do the hard work that comes with it.
-Have a strategy in place so you know what you need to do and when to do it. Even if you don’t have the funds, that roadmap can help you save up and prepare.
-When you’re struggling with multiple problems, invest your time and money in the one that moves the needle and will most impact the business.
