An elevator pitch is a short, compelling summary of an idea, product, or service that can be delivered in the time it takes to ride an elevator (usually 30-60 seconds). You need an elevator pitch in order to speak to buyers and investors. Here are some steps to help you write an effective elevator pitch:

1. Start with a hook: Begin with a strong and attention-grabbing statement that will make the listener want to hear more. This could be a surprising statistic, a thought-provoking question, or a bold claim.

2. Identify the problem: Clearly articulate the problem that your idea, product, or service solves. This should be a specific and pressing issue that your target audience is experiencing.

3. Explain your solution: Explain how your idea, product, or service solves the problem you identified. Be specific and concise, and use language that is easy to understand.

4. Highlight your unique selling proposition: Identify what sets your idea, product, or service apart from the competition....

Launching a new product can be an exciting and challenging process, but with the right strategy and mentor, you can increase your chances of success. Here are a few key steps to consider when launching a new product:

What if there was a place to open doors and create opportunities for your product or app?

The good news is, it exists! Let me reintroduce you to LinkedIn. 

When you use LinkedIn correctly, you can establish credibility for yourself to open doors for sales or collaboration. 

Establish Yourself

It's important to establish yourself as the creator of your product or app. When people know your product was invented by you and they know your story, an emotional connection is made to your product or brand.

It's not just another product on the market that is sold by an anonymous company. It is a product invented by a real person, someone just like them. 

When people know your story, it is easier to build a community behind you. If you do it right, they will even cheer you on and be there for you.

Putting your name out there with a product can also help establish you as the bonafide creator, in case anything ever comes up with another inventor or company. I have seen knock-off...

Protecting a new idea can be important, especially if it has the potential to be valuable or profitable. Here are a few steps you can take to protect your new idea:

1. Keep your idea confidential: Do not share your idea with anyone who is not directly involved in developing or protecting it. Make sure anyone who does have access to your idea signs a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before you share any details.

2. Conduct research: Conduct a patent search to ensure that your idea is not already protected by an existing patent or trademark. You can also search online to see if anyone else is working on a similar idea.

3. File for a patent: If your idea is new and innovative, you may be able to file for a patent to protect your intellectual property. A patent gives you exclusive rights to your idea for a certain period of time, typically 20 years from the date of filing. You will need to work with a patent attorney to file a patent application.

4. Copyright or trademark: Depending on the...

You can do a lot of customer testing on social media before you even launch your product or app.  

Social Media is something many entrepreneurs put off for too long. Not because they don't "want to" promote their business with social media - it's because they aren't sure "how to". The post will share some ideas on how to get your social media started for your business. 

Watch What Competitors Are Posting

We all have that little voice in the back of our head - some are just more aware of it than others. 

Your thoughts and mindset are at the core of your destiny. They are the foundation of your words to follow, and then your actions and your habits, and ultimately your destiny. 

At the end of the day, you are what you believe you are. The universe tends to conspires to help people that believe in themselves and their purpose.
