Hi,
First of all, thank you for an AMAZING book !! I am over half-way and love the "cut to the bone" content taking away all the smoke and mirrors that so many other writers flourish on.
Just a short intro about myself.....My name is Paul and I am 46 years old. After finishing my electro mechanical engineer I worked for a boss two years and then decided this is not for me. I have been self employed for more than 20 years and love the freedom that it brings. Yes, it also brings the responsibility to make things happen and make the money. Many times there was no money but I had no one else to blame and just had to make it go right
So I am an inventor by heart and have invented many things over the last 20 years. Early on in my career as an inventor I realized that no one is as passionate about my product as me and had to also learn early on how to create a company around my products. From my viewpoint the invention is the easy part and getting it to the market is the other 95%. With this comes staff, labour laws, office leases, admin, admin, admin, VAT, UIF, many new expenses and lots of "kindergarden" activities. This really takes the fun out of business for me.
When I invent something new or sell my products I am loving it. I have worked very hard the last 20 years and I am semi retired and live on an amazing wine farm just outside Cape Town.
After two years of relaxing a bit I realized that I have lost my passion for life and was really bored. I also want to travel more and drive that red Ferrari I always dreamed of. To do this I have to move to the next level. But I want to do this without becoming a slave to my own company again and working for my staff instead of them working for me. If you have or had a company I am sure you know what I am talking about. I also want to do it without selling out to investors. Done that before and learned my lesson....lol.
So, I invented this AMAZING new product that can literally change the world !! www.finebubblewater.com . On the website is just the tip of the iceberg. I have a provisional patent on it and have done several successful proof of concepts. I have started appointing distributors all over the world but it it is tedious process. What I am looking for and guidance on is how to take this product around the world ? If anyone on the forum has done this before successfully I would love to hear from you ?
