    Change in direction for my invention

    Yeah - you can find out pretty much everything you need to know here in 1 hour. The key, if you haven't done this before, is to look up your key words in the search, and then look up the most recent patents - they will need to have cited the prior art in order to get a patent in the first...

    find a salon that caters to your clientele. befriend the owner/manager/someone...get them to recommend it... find a thought-leader in the space...see what other niche high end skincare items have done over the last few years...maybe there is some eyeliner that costs $2,000 that you can only get...

    it's an interesting question....what kind of product and how limited a budget? here's the challenge: how do you get 5 of your doodads into the right people's hands? build your "Bob" as someone once told me...and figure out what they read, where they vacation, etc...

    New Rep System, Some Other Things...

    Wow...this sure generated a lot of discussion.. My first - stream-of-conscious- reaction - it's better to spend it while you are here than to leave it after you are gone....it''s fun to give a gift to someone you appreciate & let them know. and i wont comment on any possible correlation w/the...

    I disagree, at least on the NON-FRUGAL part, for many with 1-Gen wealth. Many wealthy people got their wealth through frugality, and the next generation is usually taught that as well. By the third Gen, the lesson is gone - which is also why [ordinary] wealth often doesn't last past the 3rd...

    Well, after having read Dan Kennedy (initially) and having thought about it...i realized that the luxury market cannot be approached half-way. you need to look trustworthy and just "worthy" in general if you are going to be upscale. otherwise, you really cannot prove anything, since you are...

    Marketing BUDGET - someone explain this

    There are so many variables - in Google adwords: the kw's you choose, the match type (exact, phrase, broad), the clicks, which kw's do what on your site, which ones get to the cart/whatever.... it can take a lot of experimentation. check out Jason's thread on FB advertising for that angle...

    i have thought of custom made/fitted orthopedic seats for the drivers side...very niche, but someone who is wealthy and with back pain and needs to drive distance likely would pay a lot to alleviate the pain..

    Tesla Stock?

    INVESTING 
    I'm happy for you all. I didn't stay in - it feels too much like a bubble to me, since I don't see how it can justify the current multiple anytime soon (and for some reason I think the people who are buying now aren't really "investors"). If I did still hold, I'd certainly sell off some to...

    Yes! I spent a ton (for me) on branding before I started anything. Wear a tux, even if it's rented and you drove a '74 Chevy to the party (just park it around the corner).
