The author of the New York Times Bestseller THE $100 STARTUP, shows how to launch a profitable side hustle in just 27 days. To some, the idea of quitting their day job to start a business is exhilarating. For others, it’s terrifying. After all, a job that produces a steady paycheck can be difficult to give up.

Pages : 196
Book Description
If you have been nurturing a Great Idea and wondered how to Launch a Brand, how to Launch a Product or about Launching a Venture, this is the Book for you. I wrote this book because, like you, the best ideas come to you as a way to fill some unmet need in your life. "Necessity is the mother of all invention" is never truer than when you brilliantly think up an innovation, invention, or service that will make your life easier, more fun, or is just plain smart. I was standing in my kitchen after going through my usual morning routine one mundane Monday when inspiration hit me. I cannot go into great detail about my invention because I have sold it, and it now belongs to a larger company. Due to an NDA that is currently in place, I don't even know if that company is utilizing my invention. I thought to myself that if someone could create this certain thing that it would make my life a whole lot easier. I would really use this and spend good money on this if someone thought to create it. That "someone" was me! Why couldn't I create a fantastic item that would make my life better and make money doing it? This book begins right where it should -at the birth of an idea. Even the best authors get writer's block, and the best inventors lose their muse, so I thought it only appropriate to start at the very beginning. I will teach you how to stimulate your creativity, brainstorm ideas, and finally locate a sustainable and realistic product that will become your invention. Then, we move onto what it takes to bring that idea to life, crafting prototypes, locating manufacturers, enlisting the help of carpenters, tech developers, and anyone who can assist in creating the physical adaption of your idea. I wanted to not only help you think of something that you can create, but also push you to create it, and then sell it. After all, we innovators only create so that others can utilize our creations, right? This is why I dedicated a great portion of this book to also help you sell your idea. I've included the most in-depth research for social media marketing, brand development, package designing, and so much more to help you deliver the total package. During my time as an inventor, I have come across too many innovators who have sat on an idea, waiting for the right time to start. Inventors who did their best to share their products with the world, only to miss the mark in their marketing strategies and fail. Creators who lost the rights to their work because they didn't know how to secure legal protection. In this book, you will find the answers to all of your questions. It is the complete roadmap that will undoubtedly guide your product to success. This book will teach you absolutely everything you need to know about: Creating Prototypes Building a Band Around your Product Protecting your Intellectual Property and Plans Selling Your Idea for a Profit ...and so much more. I have no doubt in my mind that if you follow the advice detailed within these pages that you will see your idea through all the way to launch. What are you waiting for? Your destiny awaits as I am sure you are sitting on an idea that will be the "Next Big Thing." click "Add to Cart" now!

Book Description
HOW DO I TRANSFORM MY LIFE? The answer is simple: come up with ten ideas a day. It doesn't matter if they are good or bad the key is to exercise your 'idea muscle', to keep it toned, and in great shape. People say ideas are cheap and execution is everything but that is NOT true. Execution is a consequence, a subset of good, brilliant idea. And good ideas require daily work. Ideas may be easy if we are only coming up with one or two but if you open this book to any of the pages and try to produce more than three, you will feel a burn, scratch your head, and you will be sweating, and working hard. There is a turning point when you reach idea number 6 for the day, you still have four to go, and your mind muscle is getting a workout. By the time you list those last ideas to make it to ten you will see for yourself what "sweating the idea muscle" means. As you practice the daily idea generation you become an idea machine.When we become idea machines we are flooded with lots of bad ideas but also with some that are very good. This happens by the sheer force of the number, because we are coming up with 3,650 ideas per year (at ten a day). When you are inspired by an extraordinary idea, all of your thoughts break their chains, you go beyond limitations and your capacity to act expands in every direction. Forces and abilities you did not know you had come to the surface, and you realize you are capable of doing great things. As you practice with the suggested prompts in this book your ideas will get better, you will be a source of great insight for others, people will find you magnetic, and they will want to hang out with you because you have so much to offer. When you practice every day your life will transform, in no more than 180 days, because it has no other evolutionary choice. Life changes for the better when we become the source of positive, insightful, and helpful ideas. Don't believe a word I say. Instead, challenge yourself to try it for the 180 days and see your life transform, in magical ways, in front of your very eyes.
