Challenge · 5 Days · Intermediate

The Founder's IP Kit

Establish the official Standard Operating Procedure for your music business's IP management.

This 5-day challenge transforms you from artist to executive by guiding you through the creation of a formal SOP for song registration, the cornerstone of your company's asset management strategy.

The plan, day by day

  1. Day 1Write a one-page 'Company Mission Statement' for your artist business, defining your long-term vision and values.
  2. Day 2Create a formal document titled 'New Song Registration SOP.' List every single step in the correct order, from creation to final confirmation, with no ambiguity.
  3. Day 3Using an AI writing assistant, generate a professional, clear, and concise template for a split sheet agreement to use with all future collaborators.
  4. Day 4Write a 'Legacy Paragraph' describing your vision for your catalog's future. This forces a long-term, CEO-level perspective on your work's value.
  5. Day 5Review your SOP. Does it adequately protect the financial potential of your most emotionally resonant work? Practice explaining it to a new collaborator to demonstrate your professionalism.
