    Feel like I'm getting screwed?

    Save your money. If I were you here's what I would do.... do an internet or patent search and see what is out there that's comparable to what you have, find your unique selling point. Hire a 3D CAD designer (if needed) so you can create a prototype of it, and get a prototype done. The closer the...

    Analysis Paralysis preventing Execution

    Looks like you have skills that could be turned into a business... just a matter of finding the right perspective/approach to it using the knowledge you already have. Not sure if you are familiar with wound care, but wound care requires documentation through images. Maybe you can come up with a...

    EXECUTION 
    Sound like IT stuff, mainly hardware? I'm a nurse but I also do programming, mostly Java EE, currently working on a web application for quality metrics and other personal work related stuff. With regards to imaging are you talking about PACS? Are those imaging files stored on flat files or...

    The cares of life can sucks the creativity out of you. If there's one thing I learned from the book, "chase needs, not money". At this point having 4 kids and a mortgage myself, I feel your pain. I started watching episodes of shark tank recently and I find it fascinating that these Sharks pick...

    Hello guys, thank you again for the responses. Need some feedback if anybody has any experience in getting a business loans for startups. The pet industry is a 4 billion dollar industry, and within that industry we have a young population ages 24 - 35 that mostly own cats. $280K is a lot of...

    Thanks for the response. I did go on a few cat forums and got a few responses, but nothing towards making a sale. If there's anything I learned from this experience is the importance of good marketing. Unfortunately you need to spend money in order to hire a marketing company to reach your...

    Hi Azure, Yes, unfortunately they are. These are big parts 19" x 15" x 8" (sifting trays), the privacy hood is the same too. And although the floor tray is small, the mold still costs $25K. Reason being is that they are either made of aluminum or steel blocks that have to be machine cut and...

    Thanks for the response. This is just it... Indiegogo doesn't allow you to contact other customers. I guess my main challenge is marketing, i.e., how did the Luuup market their product and create the hype that despite all these complaints, people just keep buying them. At this point I feel like...

    Thanks for the response. There are 3 molds. 1 for the privacy hood $70K, 1 for the sifting trays with 3 changeable inserts $75K, and 1 for the floor tray $25K. Total $170K, and this is the cheapest quote I could get (they are large parts). There rest of the funds will go to production...

    Thanks for the response. On the surface the Luuup and the Sift-A-Litter (my design) seem to be the same since you lift and sift then stack. However, here's the difference: 1) Unlike the Luuup my design enables the user to lift, sift, toss, and stack without having to turn the tray 180 degrees...

    Mr. DeMarco This is Erniel Pamintuan, I'm 44 and just finished reading the book. Thank you for writing it! I wish I had known about it in 2011 when it first came out. I appreciate the no-nonsense no bullshit tell it as it is style. I've read many books written by "gurus" on business, investing...
