You’ll learn about... • Passion and life-changing 'Eureka' moments experienced by great inventors. • Creating an idea is followed by a ten-plus-year period of 'execution' during which one must entrain money, great people, and build a new world for all. • The profound importance of 'Mentoring' and 'Know thy Customer'. • Planning unique invention to avoid 'me too' ideas that fail to add value. • Learning how to create a ' Blue Ocean Opportunity' and sell to real customers for real money so that you can exploit your passion further. • The benefit of sweat equity, frugality, and bootstrapping to pull through the 'valley of death' and benefit of persistence to 'never surrender'. If you are a physician with a patentable idea or a student hoping to become an inventor, this book will provide examples of those who persisted and won.
