Thank you so much for recognizing me in the webinar, it made me feel like a “rock star” 🙂 And as always, an hour packed full of valuable information! I’m glad I can continue to work on licensing my products while I play the manufacturing waiting game!

Cold calling is one of the fun things to do in the inventRight process. Why? Because it is where you finally start to get feedback regarding all the hard work that you have done to create, research, develop, and protect your idea to that point. Take note and take heart (relief) that it is not about selling or convincing someone of the benefits of your product. Consider it this way, you are offering them an opportunity to be part of your idea that can benefit both of you. Be excited – not gushing, but professionally upbeat.

I use my script. I keep it in front of me on the desk when I make my calls. It’s simple to follow and can be used as a crutch if you tense up or need some reminder help. There’s nothing magic about the exact words – you can modify them or add to them to suit your own needs (its a Word doc). Just remember that your goal is to get your sell sheet, video, etc. in the right person’s hands for a fair evaluation. The info you send should do the selling without your having to discuss the idea until they show an interest.

I this helps simplify the calling process and take the fear out of making calls.

Amy Jo Brogan, a coach with the inventRight program, has been guiding me through the early stages of getting my product BevScent™ licensed. She’s extremely bright, forward-thinking, and delightful to work with. With her help and encouragement, I’m already beginning to see positive results, and I’m only in month two of a year long program!

InventRight is the one-stop shop solution that all inventors and product developers need to explore. The amount of information I’ve learned in the last 3 months would have taken me years to discover on my own. Not only does inventRight foster an educational environment (no sales approach at all) they get excited when their students succeed. InventRight has not only given me the support, guidance and tools to teach me to be successful in the licensing process, but the amount of excitement, energy and motivation I gleen from the webinars and coaching calls just keeps my creativity flowing. I can’t thank Stephen, Andrew and Amy Jo enough for the help, encouragement and making this a FUN process! I’ll be an inventRight student for a long time!

I have attempted to market products for a good many years and I have always seemed to encounter blockades that I could not overcome. That is, until I found InventRight.

The InventRight system is a world changer for anyone who wants to fulfill their dreams of a successful endeavor of bringing to market their innovations and ideas. This system is so logically and well-rounded that it can be utilized by any individual or company. And as an added bonus, the InventRight system is very affordable and they DO NOT ask for large sums of money up front. They don’t take any percentages of your earnings from royalties, sells, etc. This, in itself, is a rarity in today’s world of unscrupulous businesses.

One has the full ability of reaching out to their well-trained coaches when needed. The smart scheduling system they have gives all students equal opportunities to receive assistance with any problems or issues that are encountered. The coaches are very well trained and have a very welcoming approach. The coaches act as teammates and mentors, not just instructors. In fact, I learned that for the last several years, I have been making mistakes that could have been detrimental to the progress of my marketing tactics.

With the help of InventRight, I have, in progress, two different ideas that I am attempting to license. I have used their multitudes of plans, on-line seminars and templates to get to the point now of contacting manufacturers and buyers.

This system is for real.

I found the inventRight course several years ago…and waited. For what, I don’t know, but I finally decided that if I didn’t do something with my ideas, that if I didn’t invest in myself and take the risk of how I wanted to live my life, I would always look back and think “what if”.

I have been with inventRight now for about 2 months and I have found the coaching to be supportive, encouraging and honest. Thanks to inventRight, I am excited to be working through the process and I know what I need to do next to move my product from concept to shelf space. It’s one thing to read a book about the experience and it’s quite another to have someone who has the experience of inventing and licensing on the phone with me, guiding me through the steps. Thanks Amy Jo! Thanks inventRight!

Sincerely,

thank you” isn’t even enough to explain how grateful I am to have had you as a coach. Like I’ve said, I would still be sitting here scratching my head at Step 1. You took the time to help me get past obstacles and were patient with me. You explained things when I still couldn’t understand. My membership has ended but I will be back as soon as my finances allow me. I don’t know what I would have done without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Good luck to you and with your products too.

I do have a word of advice for other Invent Right Students. This process is scary, there are a lot of options with 3 times as many obstacles, but the coaches are here to help us. Book appointments, and check in. Only regret I really have is not starting sooner. Both by signing up with InventRight sooner and also by jumping into the process faster after signing up. I waited over 6 months before I got up the nerve to just start an idea. Years in total, but 6 months on InventRight. Just dig in and go for it. “With no risk and effort, comes no reward”

Good luck everyone, and THANK YOU ALIX!!!

I really think the focus on a potential licensee’s perspective I learned through InventRight was a big advantage to our team when competing at Make48. Had I undertaken the same challenge prior to my InventRight experience, I would have done things differently, and that’s not a good thing. So, here’s the off-the-record expansion of what I’m saying: We all saw some pretty novel ideas presented that were just plain unmarketable to companies. I don’t want to take full credit for our team’s success, but I know for a fact that the things I learned from Stephen’s book and David’s coaching of my project made a difference in the way I guided the team. When we made our video, I could almost hear David’s tips echoing in my head: “Keep it short so they never lose interest” “Present your product at 8 seconds.” “focus on benefits, not features.” “use language that will help them relate emotionally to the experience.”

Many thanks,

Just a quick and heartfelt, thank you! I truly appreciate you calling this afternoon. Just to hear your advice and experience in these seasonal / novelty areas helps me better plan and determine my licensing steps. It is my goal to be an InventRight success story soon. I love this program, the process and the business possibilities. Again, thank you so much.

I just want to say thank you for the interest and help you have offered. No one in my life has given me the opportunity you have through your advice and discussions. The paths you’re opening for me will directly help me help others, and I’m eternally grateful.

Alix has been fantastic from the beginning of this idea; having her guidance and support for every step has truly helped me get here. Have I told you lately how much I love being an inventRight student?! OH how I can’t wait til you can help me w/ Step 9!

I just wanted to thank you for all the knowledge I’ve gained since working with you over the past year! I’m very close to closing my first Licensing Deal and I will be making calls next week on my second product. I couldn’t have done it without you! Your knowledge and expertise is priceless. I’ve totally become a better Inventor/Product Developer, thanks to you and the inventRight program. Thanks again Coach Alix!!

PS inventRight is a great company with Awesome Coaches. Thank you for all of your support!

InventRight gave me the confidence and appropriate preparation to proceed as a true product developer. Having a great team assist me and knowing I can contact Stephen Key anytime gives me great reassurance that I am in the right path to success.

Stephen Key and the InventRight staff have simply changed my life. With the InventRight program, they give you the steps to get your idea to the market. I am 20 years old, and I truly believe that InventRight has already changed my life. Although I haven’t licensed a product yet, and after many “not interested” emails, there is no better feeling than receiving an email back saying there was some interest in your product or they thought it was a good idea. These emails lifted my spirits, proved to me that I was doing something right, and I realized that these steps work! I had always dreamed about inventing or designing a product, but I thought it was something that I wouldn’t be able to do. I wasn’t willing to accept that and I believed there had to be another way. Something brought me to the computer one day last summer, where I randomly started searching youtube videos on how to get patents. I stumbled upon a video of Mr. Key and Mr. Krauss talking about something called “provisional patents”. About half way through the video, I knew this was it. The answers and information I had been looking for were finally right in front of me. For me, it is not a matter of IF I license a deal, it’s a matter of WHEN I license a deal. With hard work and the InventRight steps, you can accomplish your goals of bringing your product to the market.

Sincerely,

Just wanted to say how much I appreciate the inventRight team looking out for me. I’m really glad I joined. Even though there’s distance between all of us, you guys make it feel like I’m part of a family. It feels like we have one another’s backs. You’ve guided me towards the right path since day one. Thank you for being genuine and kind. I truly feel like the inventRight team cares for my best interests, and has since the beginning. To sum up your program in one word, I would choose “INTEGRITY.” Thanks again to all the amazing staff. You guys are top-notch. I am so fortunate to have AmyJo as my coach. She has been amazing from the start. If you put your trust in the inventRight team, you won’t regret it.

I am glad that there are people like you in the world, people who have been there and done that, willing to give your time and share this very important knowledge with budding product developers.

Like a lot of ‘inventors’ changing their thinking over to be recognized as real product developers, taking this leap with your program has been what I have needed all these years. You have provided a path and continue to light the way.

You are appreciated!!

Thank you for helping us grow…

I did the inventRight program several years ago and am still learning from it. Stephen M Key’s book, One Simple Idea (which I highly recommend) , is a MUST. The InventRight program was Worth EVERY penny and was the strong foundation I needed to everything I’ve learned over the years.

Stephen, you are truly an artist in this area. Not only do you have the technical ability to pinpoint the most important issues but you combine it with excellent coaching that gets your student to the right state of mind in order to succeed in the next step to a licensing deal.

Although my time with the inventRight was brief nevertheless it was a most enjoyable experience. Personal hardship has caused me to leave the program unexpectedly. However I plan to return in the near future. Just listening to all the information that inventRight offers is so educational and knowledgeable. The short time I spent learning from the webinars is quite valuable and priceless. Any serious inventor who wants to license their product would be making a wise choice to connect with the inventRight organization. These people are for real! Starting at the top with Stephen and Andrew on down through the coaches, they will treat you with dignity and honor. I thank them for being such conscious individuals that are assisting in the improvement of the lives of others through wisdom, kindness and sprinkled with a dash of comedy. More power to you inventRight!

You Rock!

inventRight’s Staff’s Visionary Enterprise And Warmth Is Wonderfully Contagious! Stephen, Andrew, and the coaches possess a wealth of it! As an early student, I can be nothing but, eager to learn and contribute. Their primary focus is mentoring students, via one-on-one coaching through the Ten-Step Process, in the world of licensing products to companies. They talk about the principle it’s “speed to market” for products. However, what I have also experienced is “speed to support” for students. Celebrating their decades of experience, they share their extensive knowledge about the practices and trends in the licensing professional community. They offer ingenuity, humor, accessibility, and the reality mindset of a licensing product developer. Superior mentoring from the coaches and the webinars allows me to develop the dynamic inventRight skillset and the “process equation” to promote successful licensing opportunities. The inventRight Team is a pioneering “prototype” in their own regard!

Shine Gratitude,

I’ve gone from dreamer to doer, and for the first time, my dream has a realistic chance of getting to the marketplace. Thanks to you, Stephen, Andrew, Terry, and the whole inventRight team. I don’t see myself as in inventor, nor do I see Home Depot as my home away from home. I see myself as an entrepreneur with insight into what people want now and in the future. My ideas actually come in a flash, full-formed as a picture in my head. I like to think of them as text messages from God. Through InventRight’s step-by-step process, I have become a micro-category expert with the confidence that my product is the best it can be. I have marketing materials that will impress anyone, and a provisional patent application professional enough to show potential licensees. Thank you, Stephen!

I just finished listening to today’s webinar, and I just wanted to tell you how having these webinars really consolidate the feeling of being an actual part of this industry. Self-confidence is so hard at the beginning and the thought of ‘how is anyone going to really take my funny little ideas seriously’, is always on autoplay in the back of one’s mind. The more I become a part of the inventRight family, the more respect I have for my creative notions! Companies actually do value people like us!! I actually told someone I am in the business of product licensing yesterday and for the first time my brain actually believed it !! ( even though I am just starting !) I just wanted to thank everyone for making each week such a fun and integral part of my journey. I love you and Andrew’s sense of humor, it really makes the process so enjoyable!!
Kind regards

If you have a mind blowing idea and no time, maybe (not really). Nobody is going to convey your idea better and with more passion than you. “Licensing Agents are where ideas go to die” Nobody is going to make you first priority but you. InventRight.Com is an amazing experience where I learn about smart ways to interact with business with resources at my fingertips, and get access to a live Skype coach. IR helps you pay attention to the details on the cheap but look professional. IR shows me how to spend the minimal amount in cost of doing business for high return real life payoff opportunity. You bet on yourself as an innovator, are given the tools and training, and have this amazing licensing dream team available to you. Looking forward to the TBA class on Crowdfunding forthcoming in the following months. These are some of the most stand up people in the cutthroat world of businesses of today. You can call them no worries because they will tell you if all of your idea sucks! Cheers!

When I started your class, I didn’t have any product ideas. You’ve taught me how to come up with infinite ideas, and I am getting interest from lots of companies. Knowing my ideas have market-value and talking business with large companies has increased my overall confidence in life. Thanks for helping me grow massively.

Stephen Key is the smartest inventor/mentor I have met. Listen to what he has to say! Learn from those who have done it before. If I had met Stephen Key before I had started up a business selling my Spiral Eye Needles I could have saved myself years of struggle and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Get his book!

“Successful inventing, like any other job, is just as much about who you know as what you know. After meeting Stephen Key at the 2008 Minnesota Inventors Congress, I followed his website, looking for scraps of knowledge and potential opportunities. Even though I have never been his student, I was able to network with people on his site. In 2009 a lead from InventRight’s site resulted in me being on ABC Nightline. In 2010 I followed up on a link on the InventRight site that resulted in an audition for the Discovery Channel show called Pitchmen. The audition turned into being featured on Season Two of PitchMen where Telebrands offered me a licensing deal for my invention.

Stephen Key is great! If you haven’t read the book One Simple Idea, do yourself a favor and get it. He explains things in a really easy to understand way and even breaks down what makes an idea marketable and what gives it the best chance for being licensed. On a personal note it’s been a game changer for me. I’ve always come up with lots of ideas and had tons of fun doing it and used to ask my wife… Why can’t I just come up with ideas for a living? But I never knew there was an avenue to get there until now. Thanks Stephen!

You and Andrew just make things SO easy to follow. Having the benefit of your experiences and your always-positive guidance really helps me feel confident about moving forward. I just wouldn’t be ANYWHERE near here without your help. THANKS again … I truly love being an inventRight student!

It was a pleasure speaking to you because I find your publications amazing. You have shared business strategies and detailed instructions that not only guide individuals through the process, but also empower them to move forward with their ideas. Some of my ideas have generated $2000 in a month and some only have generate $200.00 in a month, but I now have the formula in place to launch any idea after reading One Simple Idea. I was able to get my product on the shelves of retailers like Walgreens and Bed Bath & Beyond and I did it by reading your publications. The new product I just launched this summer is already placed at airport concessions.

Not only am I successful in getting major retailers to buy my product, I get great product placement. I didn’t know what a sell sheet was until I read your book! My background is in Education, not business. Your publications have really helped my family and I!!

I would like to thank the entire Inventright team for doing an exceedingly fantastic job in supporting their members. I am so happy and proud to be an inventright student. I am making phone calls and making contact with manufactures, and I owe it all to Stephen Key and Andrew Krauss. These two are a great team to work with.

I just wanted to let you know how impressed I am on how organized and informative the webinars and inventRight web site are. I have been with you guys since Spring of 2012 and have seen a big difference in the last year. The webinars are getting better all the time. You are making it real easy for us to learn. Andrew has the inventRight web site are about as organized as it can get. Great Job Guys! All your effort truly shows and is very much appreciated.Thank you both for all knowledge and support that you have given to all of us.

Stephen, what an honor it is that I’m an Inventright student from Portland, OR. You and your incredibly kind and intelligent friend, Andrew Krauss, have brought a hope to my families financial future, by teaching myself and many others, a practical skillset in Licensing ideas. It’s my biggest hope that the major corporations expressing interest in my prototypes, will bring my ideas to fruition. I can never thank you guys enough. You and Andrew embody true servant leadership! By far, One Simple Idea, is the best business book I’ve ever read. Can’t wait for the new edition!

Last week I won your book for the door prize at the Inventors Center of Kansas City meeting! It was so funny because I had a Library version that was MONTHS overdue and my husband kept harping on me to return it…and I just happened to win it as the door prize! I was so excited…now I have my own copy to highlight, underline and mark-up as needed! 🙂 My husband Bob and I are volunteering at the Make48 in KC in April, so hopefully we will get to meet you and have you autograph the book!
Thank you for being a great inspiration!

Stephen helps fellow entrepreneurs get exposure for their accomplishments.

“It’s because of you that I’m in Fortune and TIME — syndicated from Entrepreneur! Has made me thousands and increased exposure big time.”

One Simple Idea has helped us immensely in getting our business on the right track. Many thanks and best wishes.

Hi Stephen,

Thank you again and always for your solid advice and experience. I am finishing up my licensing contract. Wishing you all the best!

I had just completed my first prototype when I was introduced to One Simple Idea. It was like the universe was telling me, “ok, here is your next step.” I received interest immediately. My simple idea made it all the way to the Vice Presidents of a few big companies in my first few tries. This gave me the tools and confidence to just pick up the phone and call. I never would have thought it could be this easy.

I DARE you to read One Simple Idea. If you are a doodler, tinker, daydreamer, Goonie, Shark Tank watcher, or Marcus Lemonis (The Profit) student and are up for a little adventure in your life, I dare you to read this book. Key challenges you to put in 10 hours per week towards your concept; sketch it, make a prototype (3D printing), apply for a non-provisional patent and start submitting proposals to companies. Stephen Keys’ approach is easy to follow and he provides real life strategies/ experiences that he has personally been through. I especially love his business philosophy on licensing versus starting a business (being married to just one concept that may not actually sell). Key helps keep your focus on the reality of licensing just by what if your monthly royalty check pays off your car or mortgage, put a lot of money into your children’s college tuitions, or simply live debt free.

Stephen Key, Your book is literally worth it’s weight in gold! I told someone (a long time ago) I just wanted to create my designs “and let someone else do the manufacturing while I sat back and collected the checks”. I was quickly told “that was impossible, and realistically should consider taking business classes instead”. So I took free beginning “Entrepreneur” classes in our area (thinking it would help me) but I felt like there was something missing. The old-fashioned out dated ideals didn’t resonate with me, I felt like they were a waste of time, and it left me frustrated and disappointed. The first time I heard of this new “creative out-of-the-box thinking” (which you and Andrew teach) is when I stumbled onto a book by a former student of yours, Tim Ferris. A year later I found your videos and Webinar on YouTube and I felt like I had just grabbed the golden ring! I was literally overwhelmed as I watched video after video and realized there really IS a way out from old-fashioned “stick in the mud “business practices. I looked up the book (after watching a video where Andrew held it up) and purchased “One Simple Idea” on Amazon. I am not a spring chicken, but I am smart enough to know when something is working and when something isn’t, and the old ways just weren’t working for me. I have a new way of thinking and see things in a more positive light, which has given me hope and a new outlook on life. I now know I don’t have to buy into the belief that I have to manufacture my own products or designs, and no longer feel pressured into having or forming a company unless I want too. Not only that, I also now know the neigh sayers were wrong! I am so looking forward to licensing my first products and am joyful knowing I can be the creative artist, designer, and product developer I was meant to be all along. I know this will take some work but I am at peace for the first time in a very long time and I am looking forward to this new and exciting chapter in my life. I really admire what you and Andrew have done. You have touched so many of our lives through YouTube, and your book by allowing us a glimpse of your real life struggles and your successes. You have shown us by example that it is possible to change our life in a positive and profound way by believing and knowing, “if you can do it, we can do it too”. Thank you, Stephen and Andrew for your videos, inspiration and the necessary tools making it possible to live a life many can only dream about.

Reading Stephen Key’s book’s showed me quickly and easily how to present new products ideas and those of my clients to outside companies for licensing consideration. Stephen showed me step by step how to protect new products for as little as $300.00 without the use of an attorney, create a simple sell sheet to explain the product and how to submit them to the largest companies on the planet. Now instead of living in fear that my ideas will be stolen, I shop them around in confidence to all the major manufactures. I can now speak their language, and they pick up the phone when I call. Praise the Lord! I am now negotiating my fourth licensing agreement with a global retail leader with 30,000 retail locations. Thank you, Stephen, for leveling the playing field so us little inventors and product developers can play in the Major Leagues.

Thank you so, so much for your books, your podcasts and your genuine interest in helping people like me.

I will try hard not to sound like an unhinged loony, but I do appreciate what you’re doing for the independent product development community.

I got into mechanical engineering as I liked to tinker with everything mechanical…I loved problem-solving and I followed my head into automotive then oil and gas engineering, believing i’d get to keep on solving problems…Its not like that at all. 20 years I’ve been trying to get engineers above, below and around me excited about innovation, but it its like screaming into an empty room.

My experience of big manufacturing industries is that they want to boilerplate the same solutions that worked for years before, they don’t want to reinvent anything. Innovation is something that happens to processes, we get leaner, we get more metrics..it’s mind-numbingly boring!!

Since I read One Simple idea and Sell your ideas’ 2 weeks ago, I’ve started drafting a provisional application for an idea i’ve had. I’ve found someone who can help me with the sell sheet graphics, and I’ve researched about 5 US manufacturers to talk to. Don’t worry I haven’t handed in my notice :).

Stephen, its like a lightbulb has gone on in my head. I truly never believed an individual could get anywhere in the inventing world without being part of a corporation with deep pockets.

Thank you again and have a great day

A couple of years ago, I was working on an idea for a new product. I saw your book, picked it up, and followed your instructions. On August 15th 2015, my product will be going in 500 Home Depots! Thank you, for your help.

Thanks to Stephen M Key for inspiring us with the “Understand the Multiplying Effect” article he wrote. This article is what gave us the idea of creating something that we could sell multiple versions of.

One Simple Idea & One Simple Idea for Startups and Entrepreneurs, they’ve been irreplaceable, they’re both clearly written easy to understand. It’s just like having him along for the ride. Like a roadmap for me in taking my prototype from an idea to my first deal. Thanks to Stephen M Key those two books are fantastic.

I’ve read A LOT on inventing – One Simple Idea was my first book I read and holds the record as my favorite to date. I’ve leanred so much from you Stephen. Don’t ever stop teaching us!!

Just wanted to send a shout-out and a Big Mahalo (Thank You) for the information from Stephens Book “One Simple Idea”. You don’t know me, and although I would’ve loved to have taken your course and get more training, the timing for me financially was a little tight for my family and I. But with all the information in that little book was EXPLOSIVE! Although in 2001 I did get a Patent on a product I developed and drafted up myself. Nothing happened with that, and I decided not to EVER try that Again! A little stressful. LOL. But when I got an Idea in 2013 and wanted to seek help by looking online, I have found you guys… INVENTRIGHT. I purchased “One Simple Idea” and read the whole book a few times. I learned what was in there, and went step-by-step, and now I’m in a process of getting a Licensing Agreement with a large Manufacturer in the next week or two. I’ve been in contact with the manufacturers for over a year conversing back and forth and patiently waiting till this point. Just to have my product in pretty much all the Major Big Box Stores is Totally Exciting. So I wanted to again say a Big Mahalo to you guys and I would recommend inventRight to whomever is interested in this invention field.

Aloha and Best Regards

Stephen, you are an inspiration! So far, I have submitted two different products within the last couple of weeks! This would’ve never happened if it wasn’t for you and Andrew. Any ways, the first product I submitted they like, and we are moving forward. The second product I have no answer yet, but I just sent the presentation over yesterday! Anyways I’m going to become a member the second I have the money.. Once again, thank you! You’re the man!!!!!

You are beyond awesome. One day I will make you both proud as I am that diamond in the rough in regard to licensing….and I will give credit to the two gentlemen who showed me the way.

Thanks for your great advice and leadership role! Thanks to you I now have a high chance of selling my product to a huge brand!

Thanks from Vienna,Austria

Stephen, I just wanted to personally thank you for putting my Kickstarter campaign in your newsletter the other week. It helped us start out strong and the momentum in the first few weeks means everything on a KS campaign. We just broke 100K today and have 4 days left. It feels amazing!! Thanks for your support, and your encouragement. This would still be just an idea floating around my mind somewhere if I hadn’t read your books.

LOVE your books, so much valuable information. I am currently in negotiations on an idea and I use your media as my go to when I need information…Thanks for leading the way!!!

I just wanted to reach out to genuinely thank you for all of your knowledge that you shared with the world. I read your books, One Simple Idea, and One Simple Idea: For Startups and Entrepreneurs, and I have learned so much practical knowledge. I also listened to your webinar, How to License Your Ideas With or Without a Patent, and listened you the podcast that were a guest on, Income For Baby Boomers, in the episode, How to Patent Your Dream Product For Less than $100. I’m a 24-year-old in New York City working for a large accounting firm. However, I am an entrepreneur by heart and always have been. Your books showed me that I really can go after my dreams and invent products that I think of.

Thank you, this would not have been possible without you. We have a meeting with Walmart and Kmart coming up in the next few weeks. Thanks for presenting this opportunity to me.

One simple idea is one of the most amazing books I have ever read; I l read a lot. It sheds a great light on the concept of licensing your idea to companies; without spending crazy amounts of money. Thanks, Stephen, for updating your masterpiece. I am definitely going to pick it up. 🙂

I wanted to write to let ton know that since I have read your books I have four different products that are being looked at by manufactures!! I am so excited to be doing what I love and following your knowledge and seeing results!! Thanks!!

As for goStrap itself, I had what could be described in the One Simple Idea universe as “the hybrid experience”. At the outset, I decided to venture. I wore most of the hats and at some point, I realized that if we got really big, I would be the least qualified to manage it all. I needed to be the inventor and idea man I felt I was born to be. Appropriately and timely, your system instantly spoke to me as being the model that made the most sense. I thank you eternally for that.

Hi Stephen. I took your advice about protecting my ideas. I’ve built a wall of patents. I also spent quality time on my sell sheet. I was able to fit my message on a meme and let the image do the talking because a picture is worth a thousand words. Thanks for everything.

Kind regards,

Just when I am ready to write it off as just a dream…you always come out with a word of inspiration. One day, I will figure this thing out. 🙂 Thanks Stephen M Key!

This time of year takes me back to yesteryear also, so many loved ones and memories to be grateful for. I’m also very grateful for you and the amazing team at InventRight. Your genuine desire to help all who share your creative passion is most appreciated!!! I hope your Christmas was memorable and blessed!

Here’s a true story. About 5 years ago, after following your blogs and information for several years, I called you out of the blue. I was astonished when you returned my call and spoke with me on the phone for about 45 minutes, offering advice, tips, and more. To this day, those words of encouragement have stuck with me.

Thank you,

An aspiring product developer.

I just listened to my first show of Shark Tank Podcast and absolutely loved it! I chose the interview with Stephen M Key and was very happy I did. Stephen always provides great information and inspiration on all the interviews/programs I’ve heard him, and this one was particularly candid and full of positive messages that I will use as I pursue licensing and manufacturing opportunities.

My ‘back’ story of triumph in the face of severe adversity is pretty amazing, thanks to many people in my life, including you. You are the ripple in the pond, and for that I am grateful.

Our success on the TwoCane and The HEFT (huge million dollar licensing deal) are entirely due to your book One Simple Idea-I have a very detailed testimonial letter that I will send shortly that will blow you away due to your suggestions in the book. AWESOME fan of your work!! Thanks for making a difference on this world.

I wanted to reach out to you to personally thank you for your wisdom and expertise. I just completed reading your book “One Simple Idea” and I can confidently say that it’s given me the tools to be successful in the open innovation game! I think the impact of this book and your knowledge will change my life, and for that I am grateful. Thank you Mr. Key. All the best,

Product #2 is about to launch! Thank you, for your book! It was my blueprint.

I sincerely appreciate your email and I NEVER REGRETTED FINDING TIME TO ATTEND YOUR PRESENTATION. I have finished reading your book and you have changed me forever.

Thanks so much for your caring and valuable advice. You have put within your book so much of the blueprint towards the path of licensing ideas, not to mention the many fascinating and touching elements of human quality. I definitely owe you a 5-star review for your book. Thanks again for your time, your kindness, your encouragement, and all the practical advice that you gave me. Your new video background showing your product ideas created throughout the many years, and stacked on a shelf looked awesome! 🙂 Glad you took the time and organized them for display. I feel it is helpful for people to see them on an ongoing basis, that is, if they are to grasp to a significant level the concepts and approaches on how you license ideas. Loved it!

For anyone looking to license your invention/product, you must read Stephen M Key One Simple Idea. It is an educational, empowering, and insightful read. After reading his book, I now have two new companies interested in taking on Baby Soothe!

Hello Stephen!! It’s been almost 2 years now since the last time I contacted you. All your help with the sell sheet actually got me a meeting with the commercial director of a really big company in Latin America. I truly apologize for not doing this earlier, but I want to thank you deeply. Without your help nothing of what I have accomplished would have been possible.

Stephen Key changed my prospective on business. Stephen opened my eyes to licensing, and I am perfect for this way of business. I have alot of ideas and would not be good at running a business because I get bored easily and want to move on to something new. This is a weakness I am embracing with licensing. This book is great as well as the free inventRight YouTube videos which are gold! I licensed my first idea to a pet company within 1 year of reading this book. Now I’m working on my second deal with the same company. Stephen is very real and cares about people being successful! Thanks, Mr. Key, you changed my life!

I must say that “One Simple Idea” has helped me all the way thru the process of getting my own idea out there. I have already gone thru one patent with no success. With “One Simple Idea” I got all the information I needed to go step by step to move forward. I saved so much money and many mistakes just by reading Stephen Key’s book. On November 12, 2015, I signed my first Licensing Agreement with a large Manufacturer that produces Yard and Garden material. In fact, they are tested marketing my idea in the large Big Box stores as I’m writing this review. So if you have an idea and have no clue of what to do, then your best bet is to get “One Simple Idea”. It’s affordable and very easy to understand. Stephen wrote it to have anyone who doesn’t want to go through the humble-jumble of trying to figure out what he or she is reading about. Just EZ to Read. Shoot…for less than a HOT Pepperoni Pizza, you can get going by getting yourself this book and who knows…buy yourself the whole Pizza shop!

Keep on dreaming… You won’t regret it!

The best decision I made. Truly enlightening to hear your wisdom first hand. Joyous and Inspirational. Devouring the book! I have such fun doing what I love to do, and now I know how to do it so much better. Thank you, Stephen

Thanks a million for connecting me. My first entrepreneur article just got posted today.

8 Indispensable Skills Millennials Need to Thrive in Today’s Economy (entrepreneur.com)

Hello Stephen. I think that $2500 is a really good price to learn a trade. I’m glad I have this opportunity to learn.
Like the old adage says. You can give a man a fish, or you can teach him how to catch his own. Thanks, Stephen, I am buckling up for the ride.

I want to say how grateful I am for this program Invent Right!! Thank you, Mr. Stephen & Mr. Andrew because in this I have found the other side of who I am. I am grateful for God leading me to you and your team. Whether I get a product on the market now or not, I honestly walk each day with more confidence in who I am because I have found a hidden outlet and the truth of inventing! Just to have ready hands on development and training in the product and development process is sooo worth the investment! Coach Judy has been absolutely a great support system to me, and I am UBER grateful for the opportunity to be her student. She is teaching me the fundamentals to inventing and I absolutely Looove it! So I’m actually ready to set my next appointment, so I’ll be back! Ha! Sike! Thank you, and thank you again for this movement, I hope to be a part of this team someday!

Best Regards,

Over the last 4 months, I have been living and breathing the development of this product, as my gentle and long-suffering wife can attest. I am well aware that your time is valuable, and it is not possible to give individual attention as freely as you would like.

You have given my product its best possible chance and finding its way into the market.

Wow.

Invent Right has helped me tremendously, My coach Terry has done a great job, even though I haven’t sealed the deal yet. I would have never got this close without the help of Terry and the invention right crew. You may be learning valuable things here in their YouTube channel, but if you become a student, you get the real deal. Is great to have a knowledgeable team that can guide you through. Thank so much, stay creative!!

I’m getting a lot of “no’s” on my current product pitch. Fortunately, I still have a plethora of companies to contact. I absolutely can do this! I’m still a little shaky on my cold calls, but I can tell I’ve improved a lot…….and more importantly, I’m making the calls. Instead of being afraid to call, I’m feeling frustrated when I don’t get through to my contact person. (That’s progress!)

Andrew, you should know that your Inventright process is working. I didn’t take the first no I got. (After David said no, I told him I would pitch this to you…….)

You may remember that I received interest from a couple companies a year ago (when we last spoke) on a product creation that I call Cornbeanies. Well those “maybe’s” turned into a no, but what I have learned from the “no’s” was invaluable. Soon after, I placed the idea on a shelf until a few weeks ago. I realize more than ever through your program that, outside of our ideas, the life blood of our business is the presentation of our ideas.

I have resurrected this idea with a much better presentation with a PDF and video sell sheet. I limited myself in the past by focusing too much on ASOTV, but they are not the only game in town! I have embraced the fact that we get more “no’s” than “yes’s”, but I choose to “chew the meat” and “spit out the bones”. The no’s are so fruitful and have so much meat in them especially when you find out the “why” behind the “no”.

Just wanted to say thank you a million times for all that You and Andrew do. I love you two and your passion and commitment to making your students better, and sharing your wealth of knowledge. David is an outstanding Coach and he gave me the two “thumbs up” on the attached sell sheets. Tell me what you think. I have already begun making calls (as of yesterday). Wish me luck!!!! Keep up the great work guys! This program should be taught in Colleges and Universities across the country.

Inventright helps me stay focus with my product, and I thank the coaches for standing there to help me. They are always there to help confront your fear while I’m out there pitching my product. I suggest for anyone who comes out with a product, the inventright coaches are always the best to guide you every step of the way!

I’m writing to let you know the exciting news that I signed my first licensing deal! My partner company is currently sourcing the supply chain and plans to begin shipping product in the fourth quarter of this year!

I can’t tell you enough how grateful I am for all of your coaching and mentoring in the Inventright program. Stephen’s book and approach coupled with your hands-on guidance and expertise set me up for success! You not only helped me with the finer points of my plan and strategy to pitch and ultimately license my concept, but you were there to keep me going when things were not looking so bright, too. Your encouragement to keep working the process and steps and don’t take no for an answer made me believe that I could land a deal!

Thank you againfor everything and I look forward to sharing my next deal down the road!

I honestly couldn’t have won without the knowledge that InventRight has taught me over the years. Thank you so much!!

I’m Amy’s student at InventRight and let me tell you she’s wonderful and extremely helpful. Highly recommend her. It’s like having a partner (a beautiful one too) standing with you while you go through the process of licensing.

Amy Jo- Love working with you and Inventright…just like you teach about getting into medium-sized companies…Inventright is not a “Goliath” which is a great thing.
It’s the “just right bowl of porridge” and think tank for this Goldilocks!!

Thanks, Amy Jo, for your positive and encouraging words. My experience with everyone at inventRight has definitely been a great one. It is a great environment to experience. I would recommend the inventRight process to anyone.

In fact, my friend that I’ve known for 34 years came over to the house recently, and I was showing him all the stuff (papers, forms etc) that I had on my first idea and I think he was impressed. He’s always talking about his friend who’s got over 100 ideas, and they’re good ideas.

Well, I, too, have over 100 ideas now, and I know how to process them! He even said, “He’s got a bunch of ideas, but he doesn’t ever do anything with them.”

It is this kind of talk that inspires me. I want to be the guy that’s successful and has product on store shelves and has a brand-new truck and bass boat with all the bells and whistles!! Whooo Hooo!!!! Go inventRight!!!! It’s game ON, people!!!

You know, since I’ve joined InventRight, I feel like I’m in a Star Wars mood… I finally switched from the Dark to the Light side of the Force… I’m in power more and more everyday as “Anakin Skywalker”… thanks to Terry the great “Obi Wan Kenobi”… also to Andrew as “Qui Gon Jinn”… and we all know who Stephen is…

Have a nice weekend and thank you so much !

Everything you mentioned came up in the conversation, and you made my pitch spot on professional, and I am greatly appreciative.

Stephen, I’m a big fan! You have an impactful personality, and I thoroughly enjoy learning from you. I sincerely appreciate you writing One Simple Idea and making the InventRight TV videos with Andrew. I consider your life as a gift to mine. I’m middle-aged (46), but I am new to the world of developing my own IP. I have developed ideas (IP) for a number of businesses, but never for myself individually. I’m one of those 100+ ideas guy, so right now I am focusing on my best and easiest products to manufacture. Your insight has saved me a lot of money that I otherwise would have wasted while racing forward with patents. You are mentoring far more entrepreneurs than you could ever realize, so please be strengthened by knowing another one exists (out there in the audience – so to speak) that you are influencing in such a profound, life-changing way. I hope you reach more and more people in the future. I genuinely appreciate you doing the work that has reached out and touched my life. I know many others in your position would simply sit back and relax on their financial success. Thanks again for your hard work, Stephen. God bless you, my friend.

Thanks, I have watched many of the Invent Right videos on YouTube. Before, you guys, I didn’t even know what a sale sheet was. I am working on the 1 min video now. I would have saved about $40,000 and a lot of heartache if I had heard of you guys a year ago. This process has been a real nightmare and after almost going bankrupt I was wishing I never had this idea. After finding, you guys on YouTube, my hope has been restored. Thank you for the tools you have made available. I hope to become a student soon and learn even more about licensing. You and your team are really in the business of turning inventors nightmares into a dream come true.

I just wanted to thank Stephen and inventRight for all the good information that I have received through Stephen’s books and videos. I’ve never been a student of inventRight but I have followed the principles I learned in videos and the books. This week I licensed my first idea. It’s a fishing idea. The licensee took it to a major trade show this week and have commitments from a couple large sporting goods stores and big box stores. Thank you for the information, it has been very helpful as I have been on this journey.

I wanted to thank you for the great tips I’ve gotten on your Invent Right YouTube channel and reading One Simple Idea. With a working prototype and sell sheet, I’m now confident in how to proceed forward. I’d love to connect with you, as your work has been a tremendous resource for me. Thank you.

Andrew, I have so much to thank you and Stephen for giving me the drive and encouragement that I needed to start calling companies, which is absolutely working. I haven’t licensed my first idea yet, but I am on my way there. Sometimes I lose the momentum and get discouraged, so when I feel down I tend to watch your videos and get completely motivated again. I also got a little worked up when you were talking about parents that are inventors but never really did anything, like my dad. I bought him for his birthday One Simple Idea, and he is now as excited as I am, and that is so refreshing. Again, thank you so much. You and Stephen changed my life for the best.

Hi Stephen, it’s been a while since I’ve checked in with you, but I wanted you to know that I have found your book to be very inspirational and informative. I took a lot of your advice, and it has helped me in my current project. I have reached a point where I no longer work for anyone and am just starting to apply my full 100% to developing an idea. I know in your book you talked about the custom guitar picks you created and how it sucked up all of your time, but I think I am in one of those projects. I have a rough prototype and planning to file for a provisional patent soon. Things are moving, and I’m very excited to finally be working for myself. We’ll see how long that last.

If you have been wondering how to get one of your ideas in the marketplace are in the hands of a manufacturing, you need to check out Stephen Key and Andrew Krauss.
I have been watching Mr. Stephen Key’s videos and I have learned so much from him and his partner Andrew Krauss. I have my product right now in the hands of a manufacturing company. But I wish I knew how to read I would be able to learn so much more from his book, but my dyslexia gets in the way and I feel like I am missing so much more of his knowledge that he is sharing with others. I wish I would have known these two guys years ago. They have helped me more than they would ever know. If I am able to do this anyone should be able to do it.
And all I did is what his video said to do, to send them a sales letter. The company got back in touch with me. They wanted me to sign a disclosure with their company. They also said if they accept my new product, they will get back in touch with me. What more could I have asked for, all I have to do now is wait to see if they like my new product. So if you come up with a new idea, get in touch with these two guys. They know how to help you. God Bless.

Thank you for your great books and great job done to help millions inventors from different countries to get words of wisdom, encouragement and professional expertise! I know that many professionals from non-english speaking countries are waiting for your books published in other languages!

Personally, I’ve invented many things, and over the years have learned that as an inventor with several ideas that licensing is typically a better way to go than trying to commercialize or venture it myself. I highly recommend checking out InventRight. I’m a student and I’ve found their courses and coaches extremely helpful. It’s around $2500 for a year, but they let you pay it over time. The comraderie and having a coach is well worth the cost. I’ve not licensed anything yet (been a few months) but do have very interested companies for two of my current concepts.

Your extra helping of coachy love really made my day, Alix, and has me even more excited to manifest the dream!!

Thank you very much for taking the time to speak with me on Friday. I can’t tell you how much it means that someone with your degree of success cares so much about the well-being of others; it seems quite rare these days. More than the invaluable advice gleaned from your experience, it is your sincerity and depth of heart which inspires and invigorates me.

After meeting Stephen and Andrew at a trade show, I learned they knew the knowledge and skills to get profitable products onto the market. You’ll need major persistence, determination, and you’ll find a way. I’m thankful to Coach Matthew Palmer, Terry O’Mara, Paul Sorenson, Andrew Krauss, Mr. Key, the inventRight team, and the Design Studio for helping me license my first product successfully. Thank You!
