Don't Let Someone Else Invent Your Million Dollar Idea

Stephen and Andrew how not taking action can result in your idea being invented by someone else. It happens to creative people all the time, even Stephen Key. Don't let fear stop you from getting going.

    Sometimes inventors come out with the same idea...and sometimes ideas get stolen by company reps who decide to be unscrupulous. I jave submitted several inventions to two of the as seen on tv reps that were interviewed on this show and who gave their emails on this show and haven't heard anything back yet - yes or no...it has only been a week but I have been robbed of my creative ideas before and it is making me feel a little nervous.

    Such a situation has happened many timeams with me. And that's really a painstaking. I just shout loud to get out of the pain. My head aches for a month, when I see other people idea getting into market even after I had an idea before them. Oh! God That's really painful!

    I've watched so many of your videos (thank you for the value you provide), I purchased One Simple Idea, I purchased another One Simple Idea, because I bought the wrong book the first time. My new yellow book is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I won't be able to afford your services until March, so I'm hoping you'll answer this one simple question now - before I sign up with inventRight, do I need to get a PPA first? And can I share all of my ideas at once, or do you work on only one at a time?

    Brilliant Video guys. On Chapter 6 right now. Stephen I will put an epic review once I'v finished. I haven't forgot. I will save up all I can for mentoring system. This happens all the time. The snuggy, microphone reflector filter, laptop bed stand, multi grip pull up bar, vaporizer pen, portable small compressor mic, mini midi keyboard, beats headphones, wish i knew licensing back then. The thing now is for the sell sheet, writing up my own contracts and how to know if a company in China is legit to earn royalties from. I have an idea on improvement parts to add to a device. How do I license that part and is there a way to license this part to multiple companies in the same field? Highly recommend the book people. Go buy it. I bought the Mr Miyagi book ( Stephen Keys One Simple Idea ) and Daniel Sans book ( 4 hour work week Tim Ferriss ). Off course I got to read the Mr Miyagi book first.

Just do it (as Michael Jordan/Nike told us)...and how ironic that Steven himself made a small fortune with a simple change to a M. Jordan endorsed product (kids basketball hoop)...comeee onnnn. If you have an idea, follow the Inventright method, don't look back, listen to your creative gut and DO IT !! ...regret stinks (hmmm, I've got a bunch of ideas I haven't followed up on) - time to get to work - THANKS GUYS :) - Jeff C.

    Loved the book and love your videos. Can you go into a little more detail on how use your sell sheet and how you present it to prospective companies? Do you hold back some information? Do you just make a you tube presentation and send them a private link? I would assume that if you did this you would verbally tell them your items on the sell sheet. This is something that seems to be holding me back to pitching companies. I want it to look professional, but I don't want to spend lots of money and time doing it. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

I have tons of ideas and am looking to make a lifestyle out of what you are offering. 30 years is too long to hold on to ideas that need to have the chance to live or die in the real world.

    Thanks ...Great advice. I was going to get my sell sheet tightened up on Microsoft Word/Publisher. Then I was actually thinking of going on Fivrr.com, but I think your advice about Elance is more sound so I am going to try and go that way first. I don't have a proto type, but I can draw it. Loved your video about not getting bogged down in stuff like this until you have actual interest. I am using some easy animation software called Crazytalk to demonstrate my point. Once I get that down I will put it on youtube and send out a private link to it. In case you didn't notice all of the things I am about to attempt I learned from your book and/or Video. Kudos to you both. thanks again.

    In Bhagavad Gita (Song of God)Supreme Absolute Lord Krishna says that an actor is one who takes action. We will come closer to know thyself when do our duty, the idea is a gift of direction. Yet while acting we should act as a way of glorification with no expectation of outcome, knowing we've acted our best. The Sweet Lord says He will be the doer. Things will always workout done for the the highest good of the individual which is the highest good for all. Thanks for sharing you've got breaking lethargy.
