If you didn't know this before – Gwyneth Paltrow isn't one to rest on her laurels.

Last week, the Oscar-winning actress announced she was parting ways from her online lifestyle website Goop and it has just been announced she is to become a mentor on a new reality show for Apple, centred on technology and business.

According to a statement from the actress, she will be joining forced with singer Will.i.am and technology investor Gary Vaynerchuk to star on a Dragon's Den-type show called Planet of the Apps.

As Apple's first television show, it will see the three tech-savvy mentors see entrepreneurs compete for a £10 million investment in an app idea.

With experience in creating lifestyle website Goop in 2008, Paltrow says: 'This is a great opportunity to be part of a series that lets us use our experiences to help app developers break through and create viable businesses that will impact peoples' lives.'

The news comes just a week after the mother-of-two appeared at the 2016 Sage Summit to announce she wanted to disassociate herself from Goop.

'In order to build the brand I want to build, its scalability is limited if I connect to it,' she said. 

'So I always think: 'How can I grow the brand? How can I separate myself from the brand?' and I think its going to be more its own brand. 

'My dream is that one day no one will remember that I had anything to do with it," she added.

In light of Paltrow's new business venture, we've rounded up seven practical lessons from Goop*

How to get beach hair, without the beach

From sea-salt sprays and hair oils to leave-in conditioners and balms, Goop runs down the best way to achieve beach-looking hair with minimal effort. 

For example, when it comes to using electrical products A-list hairstylist Adir Abergel advises: 'Rather than curling your hair from roots to ends for a perfectly barreled curl, make just a slight wave, curling from mid-shaft, leaving the ends out. Tug on the hair while it's still hot to loosen the curl and stretch out/deconstruct the wave.'

Love Yourself

Authors of Conscious Loving: The Journey to Co-Commitment by Gay Hendricks and Kathryn Hendricks wrote a piece for the website in 2012 titled 'Taking Responsibility for our Relationships'.

'Something unloved lurks at the base of almost all relationship issues. The more each of us gives loving presence to all of ourselves, the more available we become to receive and enjoy the flow of love and harmony. 

'An unloved part of ourselves has a tendency to look like it lives over there in the other person and leads to control and power struggles. It's much easier, more efficient, and more productive to love yourself thoroughly than to try to get others to change.'

Gwyneth's advice – not so goopy after all.
