So You Have an Idea or Invention.

Apply for Patent: What It Means
Do you have something that you have created that you think is the next big thing?  Do you have an idea that is going to make you millions?  If you do, then it is time to start considering applying for a patent.  A patent may not have been something that you thought of at first.  Yet, it is an important step of taking your idea or your plan and making it a reality.  There is an undoubtedly realistic chance that someone else can come up with your plan or have the same idea as you do (or for those that are less than honest, they could steal it!) and you would be out of luck.  The bottom line is that you need to take the time now to consider a patent.

Operating with the Truth

When you state the truth, you succeed. For example, if you exaggerate a customer’s problem to increase your income, you run into problems. The customer can sense the lie, no matter how sincere you act. If you are caught, the penalties are painful. If you understate the customer’s problem or your fees, you are selling out what you know to be true. You prevent your customer from making the proper decisions. You feel like a wimp. You must look the customer in the eye, without hesitation, and deal with the truth. The customer can then act accordingly. You did your job even if the person doesn’t like the truth. When you have the courage to call the truth the truth you become a more powerful force. It is easy to hold a position on an honest fact.

Fishing Story

The Japanese love fresh fish. However, the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring in the fish. If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh. The Japanese did not like the taste. To solve this problem, fishing companies installed freezers on their boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer.
