"A simple idea can be worth millions!"
Here are the surefire steps no one is telling you.
By Stephen Key, Successful Inventor
Why does bringing an idea to market seem so overwhelming and frustrating?
• Should I file for a patent?
• Do I need an attorney?
• What companies do I call?
• Do I need a prototype?
As a marketing consultant for the past 15 years, I thought I knew it all. But, I highly recommend (5 Stars) this course to even some of you who think you know it all. Now I am able to submit my products to large corporations with confidence. I don't see how I would have been a successful inventor without Stephen and his knowledge.
— Andrew G., New York
There are many resources for information that unsuccessfully try to help.
• Product submission companies
• Books, CDs
• TV shows and talk shows
• Product development companies
And still thousands and thousands of people fail each and every year.
I recently became aware of inventRight and its products and services. I purchased the home study material and found its contents easy to understand and extremely helpful. If you are an inventor and overwhelmed by the process of inventing and marketing your idea, this is a great place to get the help you need.

Why do people with great ideas fail?
• Filing a patent without understanding the marketplace.
• Contacting the wrong companies.
• No manufacturing know-how.
Yet you read about people making millions with their ideas. You're asking what do they know that I don't know and how can I get that information? How can I avoid the pitfall that can lead to failure and frustration?
Question — Would you drive across the U.S. without a road map?
Answer — No!
To have a wonderful, rewarding experience, you would take along a road map, you might even ask a travel agent or someone who has taken the same trip before for advice and help.
It's simple. Yes, there are many resources out there, but no one is giving you an easy to understand complete process to understand bringing your idea to market. You need a road map!
Imagine, if you had a road map; a step-by-step process that would help you bring your product to market. Selling your ideas to companies and receiving royalties from those companies can give you the freedom to realize your dreams. From your ideas, generate an income that can afford you the freedom to quit your job, be more creative and develop other products. Use your extra income to take your family on that dream vacation. My extra income allowed my family to travel across the U.S. for 6 months, thus, allowing me to spend precious time with my kids, something that is lost in our fast pace life today. Imagine what you could do with that extra income!
What if you could bring your idea to market?
• Without a prototype
• Without a patent
• Without risk
For the past 25 years I have developed a system that has generated millions of dollars in royalties, through licensing. My products have sold across the U.S. and around the world in such retailing giants as Wal-Mart, Target and the Disney Theme Parks and Stores. My products have been endorsed by celebrities such as Alex Trebek of Jeopardy and basketball great Michael Jordan.
I realized that licensing is a more cost-effective way to bring products to market, particularly for a stay-at-home mom like me. Stephen taught me to see products from a retailer’s perspective (cost, shelf space, customer understanding) and to translate that information into the all-important “Benefits Statement.” And he teaches you how to do it all with minimal investment.
But, the most important thing I learned from Stephen is to keep putting products out there - to learn from the experience and try again.
I licensed my second invention, Shoe Clues, with almost no investment and about five hours worth of work. I now have four licensed products with several other products in development. And my income exceeds my investment on each product.
— Shelley Hunter, Mom Inventor

Any time I had a question I just picked up the phone, and believe me I did call. Once, when I was doing my 1st patent search I got stuck so I called. The inventRight guys are so nice, helpful and encouraging. They gave me some ideas to try and they worked. Along the entire product developing process I knew anytime I had any question all I had to do was pick up the phone. Stephen really walked me through the whole process. He really seems to enjoy passing his knowledge on and watching you succeed.
The inventRight system is a GREAT tool with a wonderful support system.

| The Top Ten Stupid Ways Inventors Fail, Part II |
|
The main thing I want you to remember when creating ideas is to slow down. Don’t rush out and file a patent. Get some good advice. Ask someone that has been through the process to help you. My father always to told me to get close to someone that was doing what I wanted to do and learn from them. I think this is sound advice –it’s the advice I’ve used my entire career. |

It’s not a secret. Inventors fail. We fail and we fail again. In the course of my thirty-year career, I’ve made every mistake imaginable. And I’ve seen other inventors make the same ones time and time again. But some mistakes ARE avoidable. |
