Blogs
Welcome to my blog, Million Dollar Ideas
Here, you’ll find real-life stories of successful inventors and entrepreneurs that will inspire you to pursue your dreams. In some blogs, I share my own stories and experiences, in others you’ll learn about another dreamer and doer who had an idea and ran with it.
My blogs also cover the nitty-gritty every would-be inventor and entrepreneur needs to know—licensing vs. selling; the pros and cons of franchising; patent rights; how to find the best collaborators; and so on. On occasion, I’ll also recommend books and movies here, or a conference, or a contest for inventors. The topics will vary but I promise each one will provide you with information and inspiration to pursue and achieve your dream.
