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 for a Utility patent. You will need to work with a patent attorney to file a patent application.

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

What to post on social media is a question that bothers a lot of entrepreneurs. The default answer is nothing. 

A method developed called S.E.E. (Study, Engage, Educate) helps you understand and connect with your target audience without having a finished idea yet. 

Step 1:

Study. Save the information you discover. Check out Facebook groups, influencers, and do Google searches. Find out what your competitors are posting and what their customer's 'like'. After doing that for a few hours, you’ll start to understand the information your customer will consume. 

Step 2:

Engage. Like,...

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.

If you are to do something profound in your life like start a new business or create something to help others, you have to really believe you can do it. 

Practicing a healthy mindset can give you insights into what you are thinking and why you are thinking it. The key is to reflect on yourself as if you were a 3rd party. This is challenging at first, but with practice you will become more and more objective and become more aware of your thoughts.

If you don’t master your mindset and feed it abundant thoughts, your mind will default to scarcity and stress. When y...
