I found a need to be fixed...now what?

[AlbertR]

I finished TFM, over halfway through unscripted . Im training myself to find needs and consider ways to fix them. But when I figure out the need...then what? Imagine, years ago, I came up with the Snuggie, how would I execute on this idea?

I’m transitioning from the slow lane. I’ve had ideas in the past and never executed. With my new mindset of finding needs, I want to be ready to execute when the time comes. I want to make great use of my time while I’m searching for needs.

Is there a way I can practice steps of execution, even if I’m not executing a current need, just to practice the steps? I’d imagine practicing that execution phase would be money and time well spent, even if I executed on a product which is already saturated in the marketplace. This way I’m gaining practical education and will know execution steps to take when i find my next great idea.

I'd start with finding my first paying customer and delivering on the promise.

Assuming it's an idea similar to the snuggie, I'd figure out how to make a prototype and ideally make enough to give it to all friends and family and get their feedback.

Finish the books. You're asking questions which have been addressed.

Words / phrases to look out for ... kinetic execution and critical path.

That’s how I should have better phrased my question. Who is it that people contact to make prototypes of different inventions? Should a NDA be signed by the other company?

Thank you MJ, I will be done with unscripted soon. Excuse my premature question.
