Dear inventor, I feel privileged to have played a part in the development and launch of many consumer products. Working with product companies in the US, Korea, Thailand, Australia, India, China, and the UK, I’ve seen the best — and the worst — of this industry. In this course, I give my inside knowledge about how to launch a product with minimum risk. I also provide very specific warnings, not just about common mistakes, but also about ways that others can deliberately try to take advantage of you.

I am not promising you any degree of success. If you do nothing else, please understand that any book, course, or company making that promise (or anything close to it) should be avoided. My goal is to show you how the best “players” minimize their risks to maximize their profit potential.

My course material was chosen by surveying hundreds of inventors like yourself to identify critical gaps in their knowledge, and dispel myths they commonly hold.

As a serial entrepreneur, I know the greatest regrets in life come from not taking a shot at a great idea or opportunity while you can. That’s why I encourage you to try my course, and if it doesn’t provide what you need, I stand behind my 100%, no-questions-asked, money-back guarantee. I just ask that you email me what the course lacked, so that I can improve it for others.

Wishing you success,

For all consumer products

This course will be most useful to first-time product developers. It applies to all consumer product categories including: housewares/household, Kitchen, Outdoor, Health & Beauty, Fitness, Clothing, Tools, Automotive, Electronics, Toys, Novelty, and Pets. It does not apply to products for business, industrial, or medical markets.

More than a course

This is not a normal course; it is designed to save inventors thousands of dollars in consultant fees, who sometimes also require a percentage of your product sales. While it can’t entirely replace professional assistance, it will guide participants having a do-it-yourself mentality through the most challenging steps.
