Sharing my lifetime experience in export/import. Product sourcing specialist.
GOLD! SOURCINGI actually managed to get a quote from China. They are specialized in protoypes only. The quote is what I expected it to be, about 1300$ which is a fair price for this kind of job from my experience. They also accept Paypal. But my only concern is that the Paypal is registered in free email...- iizu

Need help with ideas for product to produce
IDEAWithout knowing anything about your business: It's weird that you are making stuff for the construction industry, and the peak season for that should be in the summer? So why aren't there any orders on spring-time? But as for product ideas: -Trailers, all sizes -Agricultural equipment...- iizu

Sharing my lifetime experience in export/import. Product sourcing specialist.
GOLD! SOURCINGHi Walter, Thanks for the revised edition! the K-Mart Supplier list is golden. You'll instantly know that they are legit. My question: I'm looking to have a prototype made. It needs to be CNC-machined. The final product will be made with a different manufacturing method. Do you think it would...- iizu

Need ideas for my brand name.
IDEACongrats on the growing business! Just wanted to chime in with similar example from Finland. So, we have a company that can make you a new roof in 1-2 days, that's pretty much all they do: Roofs. But they have a regional and really general name, like "Arizona Renovators". They run a 63 M€...- iizu

I want to be world-class but don't want the world-class effort! Tell me how!
MINDSET RANTGreat write-up. This will encourage people to get a job. The greatest thing about having a job is that you can afford to be patient. You don't come out as desperate when offering your services or products. If you get rejected, big deal. Try again. What else should you do with your free time...- iizu

Enchroma Glasses - A True Productocracy
OFF-TOPICWhat the hell. Didn't even know these existed! Thank you, @jasoncuellar123 I knew I am colorblind, but it's really hard to imagine how the world would look like, when all you know is "this" :D I mean that's a truly great product. Must have took years of research and development. No need to...- iizu

Greetings from Estonia!
INTROHello, Southern neighbor! :) At least you guys have way more relaxed business tax laws down there. I'm thinking of incorporating in Estonia when it's time. Construction is huge right now, you should be able to make a killing in that field. Welcome!- iizu

Enhance, Davison, for licensing and prototype
1. Consider testing the markets with photo-realistic renderings of your products before making expensive physical products 2. 8-15k sounds way too much. You can find engineers from Upwork to design the product for you. 3. If your product is small enough, you can 3D-print it. Metal, plastic and...- iizu

Market validation and product mock-up
MARKETINGWell now you have to decide if that's enough feedback for you to move on. I mean it would be nice to have 100% certainty that your product turns out to be a success. That any money you invest in it now will come back to you 100x. That would be so nice, safe and comfortable.. But that's not...- iizu

Market validation and product mock-up
MARKETINGYeah, and I'm an idiot with a pretty fixed mindset for not understanding that there are other products than just hard goods :D CAD-models are 3D-models of your product made with computer, hence the name Computer Assisted Design. You can certainly use them later to present your product...- iizu

Market validation and product mock-up
MARKETINGI think that's a good move. You should really get some sort of feedback from the market first. The best feedback would be to get sales. But having people sign-up for your mailing list is OK. I use Unbounce.com at the moment. It's really expensive, but they have a great editor to make landing...- iizu

From comfortable job to comfortable freedom
EXECUTIONSounds awesome. Reminds me of what Gary Vaynerchuck preaches about: Start documenting. Start doing(most of his followers don't follow that advice though.) About the product: Is it something you can make one at a time? I mean if you have a people asking for it and you know the manufacturers, why...- iizu

Watch me struggle my way through a licensing deal

I Have A Productocracy
MINDSETKickstarter campaign is a great validation tool. But these days you need a working prototype, professional video and a pretty big pre-launch list to do it.
