You may have just come up with an idea, or you had an idea in the past and now it’s already out there, or you’ve been working on your invention now and you’re stuck at some point. I created this course with you in mind and for you at any stage of your invention. When I first started coming up with my ideas, I didn’t know where to go or who to ask for help and not necessarily wasted, but learned some hard lessons. Though the levels of success I’ve had over the last 15 years working on my own inventions, as a multi – patent owner, inventor that has royalties coming to me quarterly, working with manufacturers selling my own products and helping inventors do the same for their inventions, this course will navigate you through bringing your idea to reality so you can start making money with your invention. Or, going through my course will help you to realize that you may have hit a brick wall with this idea and it’s already out there, so you may need to make the hard decision to move on to your next idea. I will help you to make that decision throughout the course. I would rather you know what to expect instead of going in a big circle. That’s what this course can do for you, lay out your options and to help you make better decisions. I am here for you all the way! I made sure this course will be worth your time and money you spend on it. GO FOR IT!
Watching this course from beginning to end will provide you insight to new ways of coming up with an idea and starting on your invention. We will discuss how to come up with an idea, searching to see if your idea already exists, how to protect it through intellectual property of patents, trademarks, non disclosure agreements, product development and design to create 3d CAD files, bringing your invention to life with ways to make a prototype, then preparing how to present your invention idea to potential licensees, buyers, preparing for manufacturing including packaging, bar coding, warehousing, creating marketing material, crowdfunding, understanding licensing agreements, how royalty rates are calculated, making the decision to keep going or moving on to your next invention. Tips and thoughts also discussed along the way with my experience as an inventor that understands and has been through these steps for myself and coaching inventors for over 15 years, being in touch with many industry leaders, interviewing high profile guests on my online shows, attending trade shows, working with the resources at all the steps of the invention journey and staying in the know of the latest technology and activity to make our lives as inventors and innovators easier!
I look at this course as a business opportunity. You are investing (and inventing!) your time, money, energy and effort into this idea, so why not give it the best shot of success. When I speak to inventors, I pull out many topics and tips provided in the course to them and somehow or another it saves them that time, money, energy and effort to go in that big circle and end up at the starting point or they realize that it should be done this way or that way. So how do you learn… you find the right people or person to help you and have them become your coach and mentor to see things more clearly and to help you to make better decisions. That’s what I do for my clients I coach and that’s what I’ve done during quarantine 2020 for you. To answer your questions, to guide you in the right direction and to make educated decisions from my own personal experiences and hearing and learning from others over the last 15+ years. I’ve been through quite a bit as an inventor, had many failures which I’ve learned from and have had many successes I am proud of. There is no greater feeling as an inventor to have someone else buying and using your invention, turned into a product for the reason you came up with it. I wish you all the best with your invention. I can help you. Let’s take the journey together and I’ll be by your side. For the information included and the cost, I know you will find my course valuable and somehow it will pay itself back, even if you realize that this idea you are working on is not the one or maybe it is and it brought you to the finish line and you’re selling your product or see it on the shelves.. people are buying your product, you are making money! Keep on inventing!
