People are funny. They hear stories of how ordinary people make millions of dollars from their simple product ideas and then chock it up to being ‘lucky’ or ‘being at the right place at the right time.’ But the truth is, luck is only part of it. From my
experience, the people who’ve succeeded all seem to have something in
common—they took action! They had an
idea, created it in some way, and then took the necessary steps to let other
people know about what their up to.
Sure, luck helped, but they couldn’t have been lucky if they hadn’t
taken the basic steps to get started.
And I can say this, because I’ve seen it first hand in my
classes and workshops. Entrepreneurs and inventors come to my workshops, read
my materials, all with the hope of figuring out how to get their products on
the shelves of retailers. And I love
that about the people I work with, because I am the same way. I am always
trying to seek information and trying to improve my life.
But here’s what I’ve noticed and the main reason I’ve
decided to write these Business Success Columns. Most people (and I do this as well) take the
information, ponder it, yet never actually take the necessary steps to truly
succeed. Not everybody is this way, but from what I’ve noticed, the
majority. And it’s usually because life
gets in the way. Problems come up; people get disheartened because things don’t
go their way, etc. And then they
stop. And nothing happens.
Well, I can’t control what happens in your life, but what I
can do, is provide you a little inspiration. And when I say inspiration, I mean
sharing stories with you about how ordinary people produced extraordinary
results through their simple product ideas. You see, I believe that if you read
these stories, you will notice that the people who made millions of dollars
from their product ideas, took action and didn’t give up when life got in their
way. They did the work and continued
until they found success.
And anyhow, I also think it would be fun to just read about
how everyday products people use actually came to fruition.
So stay tuned… and I look forward to sharing stories with
you of how ordinary people produce extraordinary results through their simple
product ideas.

Patent
Im in the process of completing my invention but I find it difficult to believe that a patent is extremely expensive and that if you do not have a patent someone has the right to steal your idea and yoh can't do anything about it. You are not even guaranteed to make money out of your product. I can't afford the patent process right now and wonder if I can still be sucessful ?
