.... ... .. Put away your money - I've got it!!

-- I've been thinking that you indeed must be satisfied and happy that you stumbled upon this inventors website? It will do what you wish everybody would do for you, that is, grab for the check. -- I see you running out early. I see you looking around and checking who is and who is not-yet a paid Member? I know that you just saved a few dollars by not joining and contributing. - And isn't that what 'you feel is right'-- holding on and not giving up? - Hell, I didn't mean for you to do that with my IASL organization. :-(

-- You are out with your friends on the town and enjoying each others company. Then that awkward moment comes when the check is presented for payment. -- You are prepared to pay for your share - eh, even, maybe, paying for everyone? You're about to grab for that check and pay when you are outgrabbed and you hear, "Put your money away - I've got it! Now doesn't that make you feel relieved? Kind of? You know that you'll be next to return this favor. -- I've been thinking that you indeed must be satisfied and happy that you stumbled upon this inventors website? It will do what you wish everybody would do for you, that is, grab for the check. -- Stop and think.. Knowledge by reading this website is free. It's very good, but there is much more to be learned by your coming to our monthly meetings. It makes sense.
Going one-on-one with "Inventors."
-- "There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge... observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination." --
Denis Diderot
-- Now and then I'd listen to a call from an 'idea person' who said he had an idea for a great invention. They'd call up on the phone to the IASL and leave a short message. I would return their call and the conversation implied that I was wasting their time talking to them. They merely wanted to know what they should do with an idea that needed to be [quickly] taken to market. They wanted doors to open to them. - "Who do I call? Who do I go to?"
-- They'd imply that they "don't have time."
-- I got the impression that telling them anything other than what they wanted to hear, bored them. Telling them that they can't just call someone up and tell that person their idea,.. didn't work. -- --
It wasn't what they wanted to hear.
-- Telling them to read the website of the IASL, also wasn't what they "have time to do" or "it's too much to do." They'd say that they read some part of it and they'd rather call someone directly. "Who do you suggest I call?" [They didn't read the site. I could tell from what they were saying. They only said that they read it.]
-- I'd tell them to call a Patent Attorney. He or she would help them. They'd mention that they've been to a patent attorney and it cost too much to get a patent. "Who can I sell my idea to? I'll get a patent, later."
-- I'd tell them that "Ideas are a dime a dozen" and that they had to research their ideas, first. "I don't know how?" they'd say. "Can I talk to someone to do it for me? .. but I don't have much money to pay them."
-- I'd go back to telling them to come to our meetings and read our website and there the conversation would end. They'd hang up. -- An afterthought: "Just give away the idea.. what do you have to lose? Why frustrate the both of us? Telling me your idea will relieve you of pressure - and you can then get on with your life. --
-- "Now, maybe, I'll get some sleep?"-- -- "All philosophy begins with wonder."
Sacrates
-- At our September, 2004 IASL Meeting, when an inquiring "idea person" spoke up and declared, "Who can I trust with my invention??" - I responded, "You can trust almost anyone.. It is only the three-percent of the world's population that you'll have to look out for. -- Those are the ones who you can't trust. -- The others, the ninety-seven percent are good, honest, god-fearing, law abiding, minding their own business, let me live in peace people."-- Someone challenged those facts with, "How do you know those figures are right?" -- And I winked, "There are in this world liers, damn liers, and statisticians. That's how!" ;-) R.S. 09/27/2004

"Remember those who helped you climb the ladder of success. They cleared the way and kept you from falling. They saved you money and that's still better than losing money."

-- "The chief business of the American people is business." -- Calvin Coolidge, Speech in Washington, Jan 17, 1925
-- You put your heart and soul into your invention - or you're going to do that.
-- The money doesn't matter as much as the accomplishment. You want your 'idea' to succeed! -- I want YOU to succeed. I want you to stand tall and be proud that you reached your goal and now are striving to make your second million. You knew you had it in you. You had fire in your belley. -"U" - -- "Come on World, bring on your hard challenges." - "And all I have to do is follow directions." --
After a great meal, when out on the town, you tip the waiter generously. All I ask of you is to "Remember those who helped you climb the ladder of success. They cleared the way and kept you from falling. They saved you money and that's still better than losing money."-- A kind word and a pat on the back. -- -- "Yes!!" Jerome Lemelson!

It's not "will it work?" but, who, if anyone, will buy it? All three of these steps, the technical, market and business, run parallel. This may be the primary reason why inventors have such a difficult time in focusing on what to do next. The hard reality that only the existence of a market justifies full technical development, and the market analysis and technical development absolutely requires simultaneous attention to the creation of an appropriate business plan.

-- -- -- Three Critical Elements of the Invention Process -- -- -- "It would be of great help to any person being fortunate enough to have that magic light bulb suddenly become brightly illuminated with the next greatest idea, to immediately consider answering the following question. It's not "will it work?" but, who, if anyone, will buy it?
-- Unless the answer is that enough people will buy it at a price that will yield an adequate profit, it doesn't really matter whether or not it works, it makes no sense to spend time and money on the development process.
-- Therefore, it behooves all first time inventors to acknowledge the fact from the get go, they must commit to learning the three crucial steps in the invention process. The technical step is the turning of an idea into a physical product. The market phase helps define the need and provides the factual evidence (not assertions) it will be a viable and profitable product in the marketplace. Answers found during the marketing phase determines how much effort should be put in the technical development process.
-- The third step is the creation of a business structure and the acquired personal skills you may have to demonstrate in order to communicate the perceived value of your product.
-- All three of these steps, the technical, market and business, run parallel. This may be the primary reason why inventors have such a difficult time in focusing on what to do next. The hard reality that only the existence of a market justifies full technical development, and the market analysis and technical development absolutely requires simultaneous attention to the creation of an appropriate business plan. |
-- 1. My invention has to fit into an established class.
-- 2. My invention must have some Utility. In other words, it has to be useful.
-- 3. My invention must have some Novelty. It must have some physical diference from any similar invention in the past.
-- 4. My invention must be Unobvious to someone who is skilled in the appropriate field.
|
-- No matter where you stand at this moment, from now on the question of how and to whom you will sell your new product should influence every decision you make, every step you take. Once you accept these three linkages between the components of the innovation process, you must broaden your scope beyond technical development into such things as commercialization strategies." [www.inventorsnetwork.org] Raise your right hand. Repeat after me: --
-- SAY ALOUD YOUR WHOLE NAME: I,................................., do hereby acknowledge that;
-- 1. My invention has to fit into an established Statutory Class
-- 2. My invention must have some Utility. In other words, it has to be useful.
-- 3. My invention must have some Novelty. It must have some physical diference from any similar invention in the past.
-- 4. My invention must be Unobvious to someone who is skilled in the appropriate field. So, now that we think we know the answer, what is the answer? Do you think you know what's-what? -- Now-what? -- -- What should be more important to a consumer products company? --
-- 1. Research & Development
-- 2. Quality Assurance
-- 3. Marketing & Sales
-- 4. Customer Relations

Let me make this perfectly clear
|
-- -- A Shaggy Dog Story -- -- -- An inventor I know of trained his dog to play Poker. When he was sure that his dog really could play, he invited his friends over and explained that his dog would sit-in for a few hands at their weekly game, and he would pay for each hand as if he were the one playing. -- Well, the friends took this as a big joke - a dog playing them Poker, but they went along with it. -- The dog adeptly proceeded to win almost every hand and cleaned the rival players out. ---- They weren't mad.. "You should take your card-playing wonder dog immediately to Las Vegas and have him play there." his friends implored, "We'll even stake him!!" -- "Naw--wouldn't work with those real card-sharps. -- You guys didn't even notice. -- They could read his telling wagging tail when he held a winning hand."
:-)) -- "Let me make this perfectly clear." -- President, Richard M. Nixon -- >> It's time I said "adieux."
-- >> Aphids and dew go together. "They do?" They do! "Ah do declare," retorted Senator Rufus J. Claghorn of the Fibber McGee & Molly Show. - "So, am I due?" - "I do solemnly swear..yo is do. Sho nuff." [This do do thing is getting too deap for me. Adieu.] -- -- "A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking...."
