    I just got a message from my son in law telling me he was woken by the sound of a vehicle collision, and couldn't get back to sleep so he checked his emails and saw the PayPal notification, so you would have the books by now! 18 minutes is surely his record:) Best Wishes Walter

    GOLD! IDEA 
    The multi-task capable team (TEAM A) out performed the specialized operation model (TEAM B) by a loooong way. This was despite TEAM A'S manufacturing equipment being old. As a team they worked like a well oiled machine. In both factories workers in a different part to the factory made...

    100 Unsexy Business Ideas: Name as many as you can!

    GOLD! IDEA 
    That is so true. When running my chemical business I was troubleshooting manufacturing industries and I saw every variation from factories that were not much better than steam age through to ones that were grossly over-engineered and over-managed. The interesting aspect was that in one industry...

    The prices have been changed every now and then as special offers. The current regular price for the bundle of 3 is $169. You can pay via PayPal as shown on my Marketplace Offer, and if you prefer to pay in A$, simply do a conversion on XE.com to find the A$ equivalent and send that. You will...

    Sharing my lifetime experience in export/import. Product sourcing specialist.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    I suggest that you do a Google search for reviews on the freight forwarders that you are considering. If they are based in Hawaii you could call them and have a discussion about their processes. Their attitude is very important because when shipping there will very often be little issues that...

    University Using Proven Amazon Course

    MARKETING 
    The university will be using the course on an ongoing basis, and one reason this is viable for them is that the Proven Amazon Course is being continually updated. Existing modules such as my ProvenGlobalSourcing are frequently revised and new modules are added once the strategies are proven to...

    New Product in Fitness Niche - Execution

    EXECUTION 
    Yes remaking the mold after it has gone into production will cost more than having it done when the mold is first being made, but it can be done. I don't think it is too late if you are concerned about competition. To secure the die for your own use that cost is worth considering, but you would...

    Ask me anything about eCommerce (Ongoing)

    GOLD! 
    Heavy metals are not an easy problem to overcome. Some well established jewelry manufacturers in China do certify their products as free from heavy metals, mostly lead, nickel or zinc. Keep in mind that forging of certificates is endemic in China, so if you use the certificate checking method...

    How to instill hard-working values in my kids

    OFF-TOPIC 
    My wife and I are old school, so their education began when they were toddlers, before they knew what money was. They were required to put away their toys after playing with them, usually at the end of the day. The reward was praise and often we would play their favorite game with them or read...

    New Product in Fitness Niche - Execution

    EXECUTION 
    If you are paying to have a mold made, there is one way to make sure it is only used to produce your product. Have it made with your URL as an integral part of the mold, preferably with your brand name included. Let them know that you will be paying for an inspection service to examine the mold...

    New Product in Fitness Niche - Execution

    EXECUTION 
    I think this great thread is where I should chime in about product sourcing. Yes, Chinese businesses have become less inclined to work with customers wanting to develop a new product. There are still some that do, but mostly they are interested in stealing the idea. In a case such as this one...

    Bowflex Adjustable Dumbbells being knocked off?

    @Implacabilis I suggest you check to see if the product is patented in the UK or EU. Many people think that if a product is patented in the USA that covers the invention worldwide, but as I understand patent law (I am not giving legal advice) it only covers the invention in the USA. As a...

    [HELP] What should I study to get better at business idea generation?

    IDEA 
    I think you have missed the point in dismissing @spElle 's suggestion to look at the thread Inventing, Importing, Sourcing . None of the posts there will tell you what to do. One of the great benefits of being a forum member is that by reading even slightly relevant posts you will learn things...

    Who has invented a product and brought it to market?

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for that. I have the PDF docs ready to upload, and not being able to call 800 numbers from Australia I am pleased to say that I have found a customer service number that is not a freecall, so I can use that. I understand that payment must be made on the same day as lodgement of all the...

    Who has invented a product and brought it to market?

    EXECUTION 
    I doubt that my question is worthy of a new thread, so I will ask here. I have invented a system that ensures safe egress for the blind in case of fire in a high rise building. I have prepared my Provisional Patent Application, and have done a lot of research on potential licensees. Finding...
