It seems like everyone has a million-dollar idea - think of the coffee cup sleeve, or even Beanie Babies[registered]. Simple ideas have generated millions of dollars for their inventors. But how do you go from an idea to a money-making product? What's the best way to protect your idea? What's the first step toward turning your idea into a reality? What is the role of a patent and how should you use the process to your advantage? All of these questions are explained in clear language by Don Brown, a self-made multi-millionaire inventor. The book also contains a chapter on how to identify and avoid scams that plague the invention world. Most first-time inventors do not realize that the best way to safeguard a pre-patent invention is to record the idea in a log book of official specifications. "Invent Yourself Rich" not only contains advice and counsel, but in addition, the second half of the book serves as an official log. The world needs inventors to help solve important problems as well as to make life more comfortable. In "Invent Yourself Rich", Don Brown provides the ideas, insights, and inspiration you need to turn your bright ideas into meaningful - and profitable - inventions.
