Do you ever feel like greater success is locked behind a slightly immoral decision? My guest today is Robert Klinck, an intellectual property attorney from Washington DC, and CEO of the game-changing legal advice company Klinck LLC. He knows how to find success and hold onto his morals. Growing up in McAllen, Texas, Robert always knew he was the brightest of the bright and things always came easily to him. However, when he arrived at Harvard Law School, he had to face his reality: He was just a small fish in a big sea of sharks. Once he graduated from Harvard, Robert worked for a large law firm and then as a prosecutor in Fort Worth, Texas. While working his first job, Robert was mentored by now Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, who taught him that a lawyer can be both good at their job and a good person. Robert watched his colleagues and friends chase prestige and glamour, and wasn't interested. He wanted to be a good lawyer, but he wanted to be an even better man. Throughout his career, Robert has faced situations where he had to choose between perfect and good. Slight moral compromise and easy trial wins or do the right thing and have to fight harder? Robert speaks in this episode about how his decisions to do the right thing improved his life. Specifically, he has more peaces of mind and a comfortable lifestyle, all without compromising his morals. If you've faced a choice between what's right and hard and what's slightly immoral but easier, this conversation is for you. If you want to be simultaneously a good man and successful, take the time to learn from Robert's mistakes. And if you're a hard worker, but feel that you lack the decisiveness to make real progress, hit play in the bar above. Listen to this episode to hear from law expert Robert Klinck on how to find success and stay honest, and much more: Why you can't even trust your best friends when setting up agreements The emotion you should learn to control to be more successful (and a nicer guy) Why courage is as important as hard work The one attribute that Robert craves for more productivity A superior method for stress relief Why anger is a ‘peacock' emotion How to correctly view and manage profit for your business The perfect ratio of family happiness and career success Books and Resources mentioned in this episode: "Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine," by Mike Michalowicz "The Entrepreneur's IP Planning Playbook: A Strategy Guide To Help Solopreneurs, Startup Founders, and Entrepreneurs Harness Their Intellectual Capital," by Robert Klinck "Patent Litigation Primer: A Guide For Inventors And Business Owners," by Robert Klinck How to contact Robert Klinck: Visit his website.
Robert "Bobby" Klinck - is an entrepreneur, author and intellectual property attorney, who helps entrepreneurs, startups, and innovators protect their intellectual property. You might be wondering what the big deal is about intellectual property? Consider this, Coca-Cola's secret formula has a value of nine-figures or more. And economists have estimated that sixty-seven percent of the value of Fortune 500 companies has been directly traced to intellectual property (also known as Intangible Assets i.e. Trademarks, Tradenames, Trade Secrets, Patents, and Copyrights). In this episode, we discuss his life story and the road that led him to entrepreneurship and his work with entrepreneurs. We discuss his experiences working as an Assistant United States Attorney prosecuting bad guys in Texas, clerkships with famous and illustrious judges and the events that led him to start his law practice despite being on track to make a very comfortable living. When I asked him about his biggest failure, I was shocked to hear that despite being a highly trained Harvard Lawyer with many years of experience, he still managed to make the same entrepreneurial mistake that Mark Zuckerberg & countless others have done. This got thinking that as human beings we all make mistakes. Our brain knows what to do, but our heart sometimes doesn't cooperate with our brain. Nevertheless, you should still do everything to ensure that the right thing is done at the right time. And for many entrepreneurs, the right thing means protecting their number #1 assets even if they are working with friends and family. Bobby helps us break down the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make with their intellectual property and the steps they can take to fix it. The information he shared is so compelling that he put it in a book and made it a free download on his website. I hope you listen, learn and take plenty of notes. The future of your business could depend on your knowledge of some of the principles you hear today. Resources https://www.klinckllc.com Linkedin.com/in/RobertKlinck
