Invent, Innovate, and Prosper: The Creator's Guide (Creative Success Series)

Every creator and inventor needs a process and tools to work on their creative ideas, map out solutions, and plan their product or business launch.

Creating new products, services, or businesses from an idea is a skill anyone can master. Michael Colburn knows this well—his creative efforts over the last four decades have created businesses, partnerships, and inventions worth millions of dollars.

With every new creation, Michael has followed a clear process for finding ideas, researching them, testing them, and bringing them to market. In his book Invent, Innovate, and Prosper, he explains his system for creat¬ing profitable inventions and businesses and shares the surprising real-life lessons that have helped him thrive.

Now, in this companion guide to Invent, Innovate, and Prosper, Michael offers even more hands-on advice, examples, and exercises to help you turn the kernel of an idea into a lucrative creation:
