    Patenting A Product Improvement Idea

    IDEA EXECUTION QUESTION 
    My apologies, I have a family member who works as a professor of Cosmetology, teaching hair styling and what not, so whenever I hear hair salon, I think cosmetology haha. That's absolutely right and its one of the things my patent attorney told me. Something as simple as using the wrong...

    Patenting A Product Improvement Idea

    IDEA EXECUTION QUESTION 
    While the product I am working on, isn't in the cosmetic industry, I've gone through the same process. I AM NOT A LAWYER OR ATTORNEY AND THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE. Without discouraging you too much, its an absolute pain in the neck to patent anything. With my product, its quite similar in that...

    Need help with Marketing and Ads

    MARKETING 
    I've thought about hiring a web designer, however, money is a little tight right now, as I'm just a lone Jeep salesman lol. As far as my competitors, I haven't thought about doing that. I'll definitely be checking that out.

    Need help with Marketing and Ads

    MARKETING 
    Unfortunately, I sell Jeeps for a living so money is a little tight right now lol but as far as the influencer idea, I've thought about sending my product to random Fitness Influencers to get some publicity. I was hoping not to but its really not a bad idea...

    Need help with Marketing and Ads

    MARKETING 
    I've tried a little. Haven't dug too deep into location targeting, but I guess it makes sense. Instead of having 100% of the ad going to the whole USA, have all of it go to say... Southern California.

    Need help with Marketing and Ads

    MARKETING 
    Hello all! Its been a very long time since I've updated my personal entrepreneurial journey so here is a quick recap. TL,DR: I'm spending a lot of $$$ on Ads, with little to no return despite all my customers loving the product. How do I increase my ad conversion rate? Any advice? Books? The...

    My Experience in Digital Marketing

    MARKETING 
    You're absolutely right! I believe MJ even has a thread about how digital marketing is the new Podcasting. They all go back and forth but the main point is basically that, yes. It's overcrowded and saturated. But it's still a viable business to start, to get your feet wet in the ocean of...

    My Experience in Digital Marketing

    MARKETING 
    I'm not. The niche I am focused on, which is the home service industry, I get to talk to the owners almost daily. I have no way of knowing they own a marketing agency other than when they tell me, after the fact. I'm friends with one guy (still can't pronounce his name and he knows it. So I...

    My Experience in Digital Marketing

    MARKETING 
    ***DISCLAIMER*** While i have only been doing this for a short while, here is what I have discovered. Its so over-saturated, its almost comical. A few months back (October maybe?), i decided to accept the challenge of @seanmarshall and start an agency and hit $5k in 3 months, so I could afford...

    Overtime isn't worth the Lost Time

    EXECUTION 
    Progress update! As of 2 days ago, I received my first "prototype/design" from the machine shop and boy oh boy is it ugly haha but it seems like it'll function perfectly. Tonight I plan to go test it out, and really work the details out. I forsee a problem in strength around the handle, as it...

    Overtime isn't worth the Lost Time

    EXECUTION 
    Progress update! Ive ordered the two prototypes and had them made out of Acetal Plastic. Cheaper option for testing out my idea, and after a little thinking, Aluminum would be wonderful but, unnecessary. Turnaround is 16 weeks which gives me time to think about some WHAT IF's because the one...

    Overtime isn't worth the Lost Time

    EXECUTION 
    Woah! Its been a while. Progress update, the company I contacted reached out to me, but their quote was simply out of my budget. By alot. So, plan B, I contacted a really cool online machine shop about getting my part cut out of aluminum, but ive seem to run into a bit of a road block at the...

    Overtime isn't worth the Lost Time

    EXECUTION 
    Progress update! Ive contacted a prototyping company about getting my product built. Theyve set up a time next week for an engineer to call and he will tell me exactly what i need to get started and what not. My original plan was to get my product CNC Milled out of aluminum simply for strength...

    Overtime isn't worth the Lost Time

    EXECUTION 
    My thoughts exactly. While i am very grateful for my job, dont get me wrong, its not my own path. Living my life simply doing what im told does not interest me. Once your eyes are opened to the world of not being forced to live 9-5 for 50+ years, you cant go back. Same here. As a welder, the...

    I mentioned in my introduction thread that I had a product idea and was currently getting the ball rolling. Here is my progress so far. -My product has been designed by a friend of mine who knows how to model in 3d - Thats it. Since he goes to school full time, he doesn't really have time for...

    While I am incredibly passionate about my current field of work, my dream is still to become and Entrepreneur. My boss has shown his approval as he is an experienced entrepreneur with 3 companies right now and maybe a dozen under his belt, however I highly doubt he's read MJs books. As of right...

    Why, Hello there. Id like to jump right in, but I guess I should introduce myself first. My name is Mason. I'm 23 years old, grew up in a middle class american home and went through school until 11th grade when, by nothing other than sheer stupidity, I dropped out and got my GED. Landed myself...
