    How should I do the design process?

    HOT! 
    You mean get them to help with the prototype or the design? If the engineer isn’t involved with making the prototype, I’ll try this. However, If the engineer makes a 3d model with physics will I even need a physical prototype?

    Ok, I’ll go into the meeting with the goal of learning the process and figuring out the price. Is there anything I should have prepared before I meet him? That was originally my plan, but I think it would cost a ridiculous amount of time and possibly money to make it myself. It’s gonna be big...

    How should I do the design process?

    HOT! 
    This is very helpful advice. However, I still have a few questions. Do you think I should just tell the engineer what my end product will be and let him figure out how to do it (For example, “cover for a paint brush”)? Or will this cost me way too much since he has to basically do the whole...

    Oh okay, that makes since. Ill try and contact some engineers asap. First I’ll do what @404profound said and make sure I only work with trustable people. Huntsville is about and hour and a half away. Do you recommend looking for an engineer online or in the real world? The SCORE thing sounds...

    Thank you, so should design it myself first and then get the engineer to check the design? I’m completely new to all of this, sorry if these are bad questions. I live in a town in northeast Alabama. It’s a very small town with very little fastlane opportunity. I plan to move out if I can...

    Where do I find them? Upwork? So they will be able to get the whole thing ready to be manufactured?

    How should I do the design process?

    HOT! 
    I recently came up with an idea for a product that fills a need. However, I’m confused about how I should actually design the product, since I’m not sure how it will be made (yet); I only know the problem it will be solving. So, how do I design the product? Also, how do I know if the...

    Close Friend wants a PARTNERSHIP!? Good or Bad Idea?

    IDEA 
    Hmm, that’s a pretty good idea. I’ll get him to look into that. So if I’m developing a physical product, he could be a manufacturer (Or something along those lines)?

    Close Friend wants a PARTNERSHIP!? Good or Bad Idea?

    IDEA 
    We were going to partner up because we thought having 2 owners would mean 2x more efficiency. Well, I am still wondering if there are advantages of the partnership.

    Close Friend wants a PARTNERSHIP!? Good or Bad Idea?

    IDEA 
    Well, he is dedicated, but the thing is, I think a lot of the learning process revolves around step 1; finding the business idea. So if he doesn’t have to do that for himself, I feel like he will never truly have the mindset. I could be wrong about this though. What’s your opinion on this...

    Close Friend wants a PARTNERSHIP!? Good or Bad Idea?

    IDEA 
    This is gold, I don’t quite understand all of it but I think I’ve just made my decision on yes/no for the partnership.

    Close Friend wants a PARTNERSHIP!? Good or Bad Idea?

    IDEA 
    Absolutely, I agree. Do you see any benefit whatsoever in a 50/50 split? Anywhere I can find a quick overview of that book chapter? Or should I get the whole book?

    Close Friend wants a PARTNERSHIP!? Good or Bad Idea?

    IDEA 
    Sounds like good logic to me, thx for the replies. So you’re saying that even if you were partnering with a “technical” guy to do things like coding, modeling, etc. it’s a bad idea? Or you would simply not do 50/50 with them? Anyone else have opposing opinions? Right now I’m going off of this...

    Close Friend wants a PARTNERSHIP!? Good or Bad Idea?

    IDEA 
    I desperately need everyones opinions on 50/50 partnerships. Me and my close friend @harp1600 have been planning on doing a 50/50 business partnership every since we became interested in entrepreneurship. (We became interested about 9 months ago, but I knew I had a ton of learning to do before...

    Just look for gaps in the market that you can fill. I found my business idea by adding the extension “Keywords Everywhere” to google chrome. It basically shows the monthly search volume for all searches and related searches, it’s amazing for finding unfilled demands in the market. If you want...

    Having money will allow you to do whatever you want, freely. Also, who knows, your goals might change once you’ve been here a while or once you’ve started a successful business.

    MINDSET 
    That’s what’s you have to find. Do some forum research on finding needs or finding ideas (same thing). Having money doesn’t mean you have to buy lambos and live in a mansion. Money just means freedom. Freedom from work every day, freedom to buy what you want, freedom to pursue what you want, etc.

    In my mind, business is the ultimate war. It is the race to solve problems for humanity. Many businesses want to solve a given problem, but only the best business will capitalize. If you want to make a big impact on humanity and fight against other businesses to fill needs, entrepreneurship is...
