Starting over- Want to merge Traction, Fastlane, and One Simple Idea

[LynetteP]

Hi All!
I'm thrilled to have found this forum and fans of the Fast Lane mentality.

My entire life, people told me I "thought too big."

About 5 years ago, I gave away most of the farm to get out of a marriage to my biggest naysayer. Until last August, I was trying to go about things the conventional way- because that's what everyone wanted me to do. I'm done making everyone happy but me. My job was sold last August, and that was the final proof that I am supposed to do what I've always wanted to- be in charge of my own future.

I've been trying to figure out how to go about it since then (some of my business ideas I've been wanting to do over 10 years). I have read everything under the sun, and spoken with any wise person I already knew that has sold companies. Thanks to an idea sparked from a mentor friend in Austin, I'm doing consulting for a financial literacy company in California (when I told him I was considering it instead of a "regular" job, he told me any potential VCs would love it- so, done deal.). I've also got a joint venture in the making with an engineering/small manufacturing company for my line of hardware, just trying to line up the right licensor for branding and jumpstarting sales.

I read Fastlane last week, and One Simple Idea years ago and again this year. I took Stephen Key's course on licensing out ideas to companies since August, and was not satisfied with the inefficient method of approaching companies (everything else was spot on, however). His way is fine for people with a couple of good ideas, but I have no intention of calling 100 companies to find the one interested in one of my 150 product ideas. How do I know mine are good? I quit counting the products of mine I've seen on store shelves- those that someone else made a ton of cash on, 2-10 years after I thought of it. I quit counting after 25 products early last year.

Last week I read Traction by Gino Wickman, took the assessment, and realized the reason I've had "trouble" is that I'm a visionary. He wrote an entire book on that, lol. I need an integrator for several of my ideas. I'm excellent at innovation, but pretty useless without someone to work with- I need someone waiting on me so I can get less interesting things done too.

So, has anyone else here read Traction?

Also, does anyone put their LinkedIn profile on here? I believe it would be a better nuts and bolts intro. I have a masters in accounting from University of Texas, but most of my work experience is marketing and branding. I speak tech, but I don't code. I did wire framing before they ever had a name- with paper. 😀

ENTJ on Myers-Briggs. Gallup Strengths Finder top 5: Learner, Relator, Intellection, Analytical, Responsibility.

If anyone can point me at what to read on the forums first for someone like me (with 10 new ideas a day), I'd appreciate it.

I believe in paying it forward, and hope to do a lot here after I get my own ducks in a row (or at least in groupings!). Anyway, have a blessed day, ya'll!
