The final roadblock in your path to invention success
February 05, 2010, 9:00 AM
The final roadblock that I’ve discovered inventors suffer from the most is a fear of the unknown. They’re unsure of what do to next. They don’t know how to call a company. They don’t know what company to call. Their ...

The fourth roadblock in your path to invention success
February 03, 2010, 9:00 AM
The fourth roadblock that prevents inventors from achieving their dreams is their fear of rejection. When I began inventing some thirty odd years ago, I too shared this fear. In fact, most people do! It’s in our nature to shy ...

The third roadblock in the path of invention success
February 01, 2010, 9:00 AM
The third roadblock that deters inventors most often is the fear of being ripped off. So many inventors are plagued by this fear! I’ve met men and women who have been working on the same idea for 10 or 12 ...

January 29, 2010, 9:00 AM
What’s another roadblock inventors let prevent them from moving forward? The belief that they need to create and possess a perfect, working prototype of their idea. This is not true. You don’t need a prototype as much as you think ...

Inventing for the Marketplace
January 15, 2010, 9:00 AM
The complaint I hear from inventors most inventors is, “I’ve got this great idea… but I don’t have any money.” Honestly, I hear it all the time. And sometimes I can’t help but feel a little exasperated. Bringing a product ...

My Take On Wacky Inventors
I purchased Patent Wizard and found it very easy to use. I like the fact that I get one free legal review with Michael Nustal's law firm.

So Now What? Transforming Your Business From Fledgling to Full Powered
This discussion on public speaking is very astute and relevant to any corporate and even personal scenario. I run an Advertising Agency and have had to set it up in a new market (foreign country to where I grew up). The bulk of the clients that we have been able to rope in have been sold on us through an ability that I have to speak. One secret, which helps me to improve as time keeps going is the desire to ensure that when I speak, even to a hundred people, each person must feel that I am talking to them. Its not easy but striving for it helps you to be innovative in creating rapport with the audience.

Great discussion!!

Public speaking can be your friend. Do what it takes to feel comfortable.

If you can truly save money and/or time for a business, then you should be able to have as close to as perfect a business as possible,--MJ Gottlieb www.thelemonaideguide.com ...
