    Progress Thread: SuccessInMind's invention

    EXECUTION 
    I think my idea solves a problem that no one has solved effectively yet and can be manufactured and mass-produced with existing technology that many companies in the industry are already in possession of. And my product can also benefit a wide variety of companies in the industry, from the ones...

    EXECUTION 
    UPDATE: Slowed down my roll this past month with my invention because I've been educating myself with Stephen Key's One Simple Idea. This book is teaching me a lot about how to go forward with my idea and I'm really thankful to the people in this forum for talking about it, otherwise I would...

    Hi. My name is Tom and I'm about to graduate college

    I'm in college right now, graduating in December. I think one thing to keep in mind is that the peer pressure you are experience is completely normal. A lot of my friends graduated with Accounting and Finance degrees and the big thing for them is to work/intern for a Big Four accounting firm...

    Looking for some movie reccomendations

    OFF-TOPIC 
    The Bank is a good movie. It's about a mathematician who creates a program that can predict the stock market and the company that tries to use it for their own plans. Had to watch it for one of my business ethics classes and really enjoyed it.

    Any fight (UFC, boxing) fans? Great weekend coming up

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I'm a huge fan of both MMA and boxing! I'm definitely tuning in to both fights. As for Pacquiao vs Marquez 3, I'm rooting for Pacquiao, but other than the rivalry between the two I don't see anything really interesting about this fight. Pacquiao will definitely win. Marquez is a GREAT...

    David vs. Goliath?

    If it's a solid product that people need and you are willing to put in the time, energy, and resources to make sure that your customers are satisfied, I say go all in. Try selling it to people around you first to build a reputation and grow your business and aim to secure contracts with major...

    Sidewalk? Or just bad business investment decisions?

    It's what you always say MJ, having more money only treats the symptoms of the sidewalk mentality, not the cause.

    EXECUTION 
    It's not one of those companies. I haven't even met with the company yet so I have no idea how much equity I would give up, but I'm just assuming that much considering that they would be paying the costs for prototyping, testing, branding, etc. When it comes time to negotiating all of that...

    how do i make my ideas a reality?

    IDEA 
    Spikeroo, have you considered partnering up with someone? Try to find someone who DOES have the resources/knowledge to help you and offer some equity in return. In the meantime, have you defined your target market? That is, do you know exactly who you would sell this invention to? Also, do...

    How did Eminem get so rich?

    EXECUTION 
    Basically, millions love Eminem and his music enough to buy it and he gets royalties from the purchases. He also makes a lot of money when he's on tour. It's not uncommon for rappers to earn $10,000+ from a single concert, but with Eminem's reputation he probably earns somewhere around $100000...

    1 thing on "fastlane book" that bothers me.

    Rep speed for the good advice. I have to ask though, what if they ask who your CEO is? Is that when the jig is up and you say it's you?
