I have a forum at InventorSpot.com and I am currently writing a topic the same as the subject of this post. I would like to invite you all there to reply to the topic and help me in convincing many of the inventors there just how important a viable business (and business plan) is to those that want to produce and sell their inventions themselves. SCORE Counselors would be especially helpful in this. My forum is Ask the Inventor at: http://inventorspot.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=44

The topic is at: http://inventorspot.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1268

Thank You!

Tony,

Welcome to the forum.

I will post it there also.

I have to tell you, Maria Simone, in our CEO Space network, if phenomenal at getting inventors prepared
to get funding.

If anyone works her, tell her Kathy Hadley sent you. We are great friends. I've seen her results.

There are lots of other inventor resources at CEO Space. That is why our inventors win top awards
in their fields and why so many of our guys stuff is sold on HSN and QVC.

Good Luck,

Kathy

One could make a good book by assembling your advice here. Your wisdom would be greatly appreciated by the inventors at InventorSpot.com.

Thanks,

Thanks for your post at InventorSpot.com. I also added a link back to this site for the inventors. Hope you will participate as the topic moves along. Inventors, in general, are not the best business people, so all help greatly appreciated.

Tony,

Yes, I will try and follow along both. You are correct about inventors not being the best business people.

But again, business people aren't inventors, either.

That is what is so great about our network at CEO Space. I would venture to say, that most
of the inventions that have launched from our network would have never made it otherwise.

Why?

Because most inventors want to go straight for capital when they aren't prepared with a business plan and a team. Most inventors couldn't afford to pay all the people they need to have a good team presentation that most investors want to see. That is one of the things we teach in our network, how to gain your team and how to raise your capital.

The two videos called "Show Me the Money" and "CEO Space Explained" show a little bit of that
with real people. They are on my site www.ceospaceworld.com . Just sign in and then click on the video link on the left side.

Good Luck,

Kathy

Great stuff at CEO Space. I hope you find time to share more of this in my topic. This is just the kind of thing inventors are looking for.
