Limited-Time Black Friday Offer 🖥️ - Get Instant Digital Access Now!
Build a business around your intellectual property—so you can scale without burning out, create offers that sell without you, and build something worth selling.
For established service providers ready to stop trading time for dollars.
You're not selling expertise. You're selling your time.
You're good at what you do. Really good. But here's the problem:
Every dollar you make is tied to your calendar.
More clients means more of your time. More revenue means more hours. You've tried to scale, but you keep hitting the same ceiling because the business can't grow without you in the room.
You've consumed all the content about marketing, funnels, and launches. But none of it sticks because the problem isn't your marketing.
You're selling your expertise. Your time. Your presence. And that will never scale.
What scales is intellectual property: a signature framework, your unique methodology, a proprietary system that can be packaged, protected, and sold without you showing up every time.

The wealthiest people in the world don't trade time for money. They leverage intellectual property.
Think about it:
Disney doesn't draw every cartoon. They own the IP.
McDonald's doesn't flip every burger. They license the system.
Peloton doesn't teach every class. They built a platform around their methodology.
The shift isn't working harder. It's not even working smarter. It's building your business around your intellectual property so the business can grow without you being the one doing the work.
That's how you create offers that sell while you sleep. That's how you build something you can license, sell, or pass down. That's how you stop being the bottleneck in your own business.
The Million Dollar IP™ Membership
A strategic community for service providers who are ready to build businesses around their intellectual property—not their calendars.
Inside, we don't just teach marketing tactics. We build your entire business around YOUR unique IP—your framework, your methodology, your signature way of getting results.
That's how you stop being the bottleneck. That's how you create offers that don't require your time. That's how you build something worth buying.
This is not another course that collects dust.
This is implementation support, strategic guidance, and a community of people building the same way you are, with someone who can see what you're missing and help you put the pieces in place.
The Million Dollar IP™ Framework
Package. Protect. Profit.
Everything inside the membership is built around this framework. It’s the same system I use to help clients build scalable businesses, get acquired, and create generational wealth.
Package
Turn your expertise into intellectual property that can be taught, licensed, or sold without you.
Your unique way of getting results IS your IP. We help you extract it, name it, protect it, and package it into something that works without you in the room. This is how you stop being the product and start owning one.
Protect
Build the legal foundation that makes scaling safe and worth buying.
You can't leverage what you don't protect. This phase ensures your contracts, content, brand assets, and business structure are working for you, so your IP is actually worth something when it's time to sell, license, or hand it off.
Profit
Create offers that generate revenue whether you're working or not.
Once your IP is packaged and protected, it's time to monetize it. Whether it's courses, licensing deals, scalable programs, an agency model, or strategic partnerships, this is where your business stops depending on your calendar and starts depending on your assets.
The Only Membership Built Around Your IP
Here's what I know to be true: we don't talk enough about intellectual property.
Everyone's out here teaching marketing and sales and funnels, but nobody's helping you build the thing that actually makes your business valuable. Your IP is the engine. It's what separates you from everyone else. It's what makes your business worth buying, worth licensing, worth passing down. Without it, you're just another service provider competing on price and availability.
This is the only membership built specifically to help you identify, package, protect, and leverage your intellectual property. That's not a piece of what we do. That's the whole thing.
When you build your business around your IP, everything changes. Your offers aren't just services anymore. Your expertise isn't trapped in your head. Your business can grow without you being the one doing all the work. And when it's time to sell or step back or hand it off, you actually have something worth handing over.
That's what we're building here.

This Is for You If...
You're an established service provider making good money, but every dollar is tied to your time
You've hit a ceiling and can't figure out how to grow without burning out
You have expertise that could be packaged into courses, programs, or licensing deals, but you don't know how to structure it
You want to build something you can eventually sell, license, or hand off
You're tired of marketing tactics and want someone to help you build the infrastructure
You want to be surrounded by people who think bigger, and have someone who can see what you're missing
This Is NOT for You If...
You're just getting started and haven't made money from your expertise yet. This membership is for people who are ready to scale what's already working, not figure out what to sell in the first place.
It's also not for people chasing quick money or treating their business like a side hustle. If you're not building for the long term, this isn't for you.
Meet Nakia Gray, Esq.
For years, I ran two separate businesses—a coaching business and a law firm—and it was exhausting. I felt like Superman running into a phone booth and changing into Clark Kent, over and over.
Then I realized: I had an unfair advantage. I'm a lawyer who understands protection AND knows how to help people build and monetize businesses. Why was I keeping those separate?
This membership is the intersection—all of my unique talents, gifts, and expertise in one place. Legal strategy meets business building. Protection meets monetization.
With 20 years in law and over a decade helping entrepreneurs build businesses around their intellectual property, I've seen what works. I've helped clients create licensing deals, sell businesses for multiples of asking price, and build offers that scale without them.
I don't just practice law. I build businesses. And I've done it using the same framework I teach inside this membership.
Licensed in Washington, D.C. and Maryland. Serving entrepreneurs nationwide.

We'VE GOT ANSWERS
Q. How is this different from other business memberships?
A: Most memberships teach marketing tactics. This one builds infrastructure. We start with your IP—your framework, your methodology—and build your entire business around it. That's how you scale without adding more hours. That's how you build something that can run without you. And because I'm both an attorney and a business strategist, I see things other coaches miss.
Q: What if I need more than group support?
A: If you need hands-on legal work—custom contracts, trademark filings, document review—members get exclusive pricing on all additional services. And if you need strategic counsel at a deeper level, we have options for that too.
Q: I'm busy. Can I still benefit?
A: Everything is recorded. Some members come to every call. Others are here for the templates and the pricing. Use it the way that works for you.
Q: Can't I just hire a lawyer when I need one?
A: You can. And I will gladly take double the money for that. People end up spending 2-3x more having me fix something than if they had done it right the first time. The membership helps you do it right the first time.
Your business should be an asset, not a job.
If you're ready to stop trading time for dollars—if you're ready to build something that scales without you, creates revenue while you sleep, and can be sold for life-changing money—this is where you start.
Building a business around your intellectual property is how the wealthiest people in the world acquired their wealth.
It's how I believe every single one of us should acquire ours.
Build a Business. Leave a Legacy.

Turn Your IP Into Income—LIVE Workshop
"How to Find and Land Licensing Deals in 2026"
December 10, 2025 at 12pm EST | Replay Included
Protection is great, but let's talk profit. What if I told you that you could double your income next year without working harder or taking on more clients? Well, you can by licensing your IP and building a passive income stream from what you've already created.
I've secured five-figure licensing deals for my clients, and I've licensed my own content multiple times. Here's what no one else is teaching you: HOW to actually get these deals.
In this workshop, I'm showing you real examples of how coaches and course creators are licensing their IP, what you have in your business that's ready to be licensed right now, and how to package and pitch it so companies actually want it.
You'll walk away with an action plan to add a new revenue stream to your business in 2026 by landing your first licensing deal.
PLUS: Dedicated Q&A time where you can ask about YOUR expertise and specific opportunities in your industry or niche.
Protect Your Intellectual Property—Then Turn It Into a Revenue Stream in 2025
Legal protection + real licensing strategy for entrepreneurs who want to protect what they’ve built and earn from it in more than one way.
Eek! i totally understand this approach
but i've got to tell you...
I cringe every time I hear a story like this because I know that most entrepreneurs are making two critical mistakes:
A company pays you $10,000 to license your signature course to train their team
A high-ticket coach pays you monthly royalties to use your framework in her certification program
A corporation licenses your training materials and you collect a check every quarter... while you sleep
And it's one of the smartest ways to add a new revenue stream to your business in 2026 without:
Creating new content from scratch
Adding more clients to your roster
Working more hours
Burning out
Eek! i totally understand this approach
but i've got to tell you...
I cringe every time I hear a story like this because I know that most entrepreneurs are making two critical mistakes:
They're building valuable IP but leaving it completely unprotected. They haven’t filed for trademarks. They skipped protecting their content with copyrights. They don’t have solid contracts actually protect their business, their brand, and their profits. That's an open invitation for copycats.
They think protection is the end goal, when the truth is, it's just step one. The real money is in monetizing your IP through licensing, certification programs, and strategic partnerships. But most people never get there because no one teaches them how.
if this is our first meeting,
hey...
They'll tell you what licensing IS.
They'll draft you a licensing agreement (for $3,000+).
But they won't tell you:
Where to find licensing opportunities (Who actually pays for this stuff?)
How to pitch your IP (What do you even SAY to land a licensing deal?)
What to charge (Is it a flat fee? Royalties? How much is fair?)
How to structure the deal (Exclusive vs non-exclusive? Limited use? Time frame?)
What realistic income looks like (Can you actually make meaningful money from this?)
That's the gap.
And that's exactly what I'm going to teach you inside the live workshop included in this bundle.
Here's what's included:
Make It Official: DIY Trademark Course ($1,000 value)
The Copyright Protection Guide—Updated for 2025 with AI Strategy ($297 value)
IP Protection Clauses Toolkit™ ($497 value)
IP Licensing Agreement Template ($497 value)
LIVE Workshop: "How to Find and Land Licensing Deals in 2025" (December 10, 2024 at 12pm EST) ($500 value)
