Title: How To Turn Your Million Dollar Idea Into A Reality

Media: Book

Author: Pete Williams

Review: Pete has invited readers of his blog to write a review of a section of his book How To Turn Your Million Dollar Idea Into A Reality in return for the chance to win some great prizes. While the opportunity to win great prizes is alway an incentive to get me to do something, the other bonus here is that I get to read some of Pete’s work before deciding whether to buy or not.

Chapter 3 Building on Other People’s Ideas is all about how other people have taken an existing idea and either improved it, or marketed it, into a wildly successful businesses. This is the sort of inspiration many people are looking, and need, for as having an “original idea” is about as rare as the proverbial hen’s teeth.

While many famous examples are included Pete would not want anyone to think that each idea will lead immediately or always, to huge amounts of success. Capitalising on the information in chapter 2, you have to select what will be the best idea to build on. No good designing a better mouse trap if everyone is happy with the one they have. There must be a market for what you are selling . Creating products that no-one wants is like masturbation, it may feel good at the time but in the end you are only f***ing yourself.

All-in-all good solid basic information that a beginner needs, and a more experienced person needs reminding about.
