Resumen del Editor

Hi, I’m Brian Fried and I’m an inventor just like you. Do you have this great idea for an invention in your head? Are you ready to learn how to make money with that invention? This book is about taking action so you can take that great idea out of your head and make smart decisions to help you make money. Here’s how it works: We’re going to walk through the steps of getting started with your big idea. We’ll also explore how to turn your idea into a real prototype. We’ll discover resources to protect your ideas and, of course, help plan your future.

As a serial inventor myself, many of my inventions have reached retail where people can buy my products on TV infomercials and home shopping channels, catalogs, and online retailers through licensing and manufacturing. I’ve also mentored and represented other inventors for 15+ years at all stages of their inventions, providing feedback and product development, understanding of licensing and manufacturing and also providing turnkey solutions to help make ideas a reality. I’ve participated as a public speaker at major tradeshows and I continue to lead innovation groups around the country.

So why did I write this book? I want to provide the opportunity for more inventors to learn the process it takes to experience the invention brought to life. Not only to make your invention a reality, but to learn how to earn from your inventions. I’m honored that you’ve decided to take this step with me. Now, let’s begin.-Brian Fried

Brian is the real deal and gives back to the inventor community with content like this. Great inventor book.

Solid book. Brian does an excellent job of getting you excited about your idea. He spends a good amount of time discussing the importance of researching your idea to see if it’s already on platforms like Pinterest, Alibaba, or Amazon. He also stresses the need to be open-minded with the language you're using because your exact description might not match what someone else has said, even though it’s solving the same problem. Too many inventors and entrepreneurs invest time, effort, and valuable money before realizing their product is already on the market, leading to the need to either pivot or understand what makes their product unique.

Brian shares his product development history and successes, providing credibility and showing that he’s the real deal, not just pitching a course. He encourages readers to visit stores that might carry their product, look around, and figure out where it would fit, all of which help make dreams a reality.

Brian thank you for providing the NDA on your website.

His "Moving Forward" section is priceless. We often think we have more time, effort, and resources than we actually do, but writing down and planning your personal availability can provide a clearer picture. Of bootstrapping or branching out.

He also shows what licensing can do for your product.

Key takeaway: Brian is right—presenting your product is essential. Just like talented singers or great recipes, if no one knows about your product, it will never see the light of day.

Brian is outgoing and gives back to the community every week with his webinars and posts. Follow him today!
