How You'll Profit From This Course
In this course, How to Invent Useful Products People Will Buy and That Might Even Make You Rich, you'll learn how to create unique products that can form the foundation of your own company or be licensed to manufacturers and marketing companies where you can earn royalties.
You'll learn unique ways to think more creatively. You'll discover how to use three of our proprietary methods for generating new product ideas. You won't learn these creative techniques anywhere else. They're why we were able to invent more than 50 new products over the last forty years.
We're teaching our proprietary methods now because we sold our design and marketing company a few years ago and retired. Forty years of running a business is enough, now we're devoting our lives to teaching.
Seeing your products on store shelves or talked about in the media is extremely rewarding. If you dream of putting your creative juices to work and making money from your passion, join us today and get started. You're only regret will be that you didn't do it sooner.

“I have never seen this information presented anywhere before, especially in such a succinct and easy-to-grasp fashion. Bravo! The questions you teach us to ask before creating a product are so valuable. I wish I had known about some of these a few years ago!This chapter about how to do REAL research that matters is worth the price of the whole course, and much more. Great advice to test the product first, and THEN worry about protecting it! This is amazing!!! Never saw anything so well thought out, complete yet simple. How refreshing to get down-to-earth advice that can really help anyone become an entrepreneur! Simply amazing.”

“Great lesson! Very clear and easy to follow. I love the enthusiasm from Dennis and Mary Lou. You can tell they enjoy teaching. Their experience with major retailers is priceless. Sometimes great things come from being stuck in life. Unsatisfying Jobs will produce misery and misery can motivate change. Throw in a great idea and have an epiphany. Great recipe for success. I appreciate the real world experience you have in obtaining different patents. I'm sure there are many books written on the subject however, I love seeing and hearing the material delivered from warm and inviting faces. It's inspiring to know my idea can actually make it out on the market. The cost analyses was eye opening. I'm new to this and accounting all the cost is crucial for success.

"I owned two gift stores for years, so I'm no stranger to new products. When I got an idea for a product idea of my own, I thought about taking this course. At first, I was afraid I might find out that my idea might not be as good as I thought. Then I realized that was like sticking my head in the sand. I choose not to be an ostrich so I enrolled. What a surprise! I didn't realize how many things I hadn't thought about. I love the lessons on generating new ideas, and the 12 step evaluation checklist is an eye opener. Thank you guys, you saved me from making a big mistake. I need to do more work before I'm ready to go to market."
