    27, Fed Up, Ready to make some changes.

    INTRO 
    Just checking in. I have been running samples most nights except for a few where I was working on the house or had my girlfriend over. I approached an influential friend about a sponsorship opportunity. She travels a ton and is very particular about the product I'm offering so I'm surprised she...

    Prototype to Licensing Contract

    I'm afraid I don't have an answer for you, but I'll be watching your thread. I'm going to be delving into the patent process in they not so distant future.

    Hey ppl, Rob here, I help people become 'unstuck' in their romantic relationships

    Hey! Welcome to the forum. I think you are in the right place. After a quick glance at your site, you have a nice foundation. I'm very new to business, but as an outsider I'd say your site looks good, but it goes very technical very quickly with the definitions. It also uses a few buzzwords...

    That sounds about right. I ran a batch of samples earlier. I think it came out really well, but doing a full batch exposed me to some sustainability concerns. My process uses a fair bit of water and wastes a fair bit that cannot really be recycled. There are some easy adjustments that I can...

    Samples arrived today! I got about six samples in the mail. They arrived a bit sooner than I expected which is great! I'm seeing that I've been a bit overambitious with my timeline. It will take me a bit longer to test my samples out than I originally planned. I'm hoping by this time next week...

    I don't disagree with the strategy. For the type of work I am good at, I want to see a clear gap in a market before I look to focus my efforts on a project. Jumping into a "me too" company can definitely be profitable (facebook being a clear example), but I don't want to create a product or a...

    What did you learn in college?

    HOT! 
    I went to a university and studied Mechanical and Electrical engineering. I learned all about the physical and electrical world around me. It was a pretty great education, although most of the real learning came when I was doing club projects. We made autonomous drones, created test beds to be...

    That's extremely encouraging to hear. I was beginning to wonder if I was the only guy not reselling on Amazon here. Sad, but true. Thanks!! I've worked in a home security/automation/home theater company for a while. It's a fascinating field. I was on the retail side of things. There is...

    Just pulled in $475 from one of my side gigs yesterday evening. It's not really a business and it isn't scalable, but it gives me reliable cash flow (200-475) on a monthly basis for a few short and enjoyable hours of work. A good portion of this is going to funnel into my business. I know these...

    Okay... So I have the basis of my plan. I have two businesses that I want to start. One is easy to start while the other is quite difficult and requires startup capital that I simply don't have. With my engineering background, design and manufacturing are my strong suits. I can muscle my way...

    Are Manufacturer's innovative or copycats?

    My limited experience is most companies innovate slowly. Corporations do not make decisions quickly and have a ton of red tape to make anything happen. In my current job I have been trying to get a simple product to market for months. It just got the okay to be scheduled to be prototyped today...

    I did nearly all of those things to get to where I am today. The only ones I didn't do were use Indeed (although I did use other sites) and read "Relentless." Most people I know who didn't take all those steps are still flipping burgers. I don't disagree with any of the information you proposed...

    Thanks for the welcome! I've been doing freelance work and I've learned a lot from that. I've done everything from remotely operated sex toys to a design for a guy who wanted a vibration damped seat for his ocean fishing boat. It's because of these weird odd jobs that I'm even keeping afloat...

    No doubt about that. My mom is an amazing woman. I don't have anything against the way she did things. She sacrificed a lot for me and my sister. That being said, I don't want to live the life she did. It wasn't enjoyable for her and she didn't get the benefit of seeing her hard work amount to...

    It used to be that way, but unfortunately those kinds of numbers are rarely seen since 2008. Civil Engineers still see them since their projects are tied to infrastructure. I'm a mechanical engineer with a minor in electrical engineering. My passion lies in industrial automation, but I'm willing...

    My family is a huge proponent of the slow lane. My mom is a nurse and works long hours. She is just over sixty and is finally starting to do what she likes. She's spent most of her life in a fixer upper raising myself and my sister. I worked my a$$ trying to get through school and eventually...
