Yes, a good idea is enough to build a fortune! Too many people think production, marketing, and distribution are essential to the entrepreneurial process. As One Simple Idea shows, you can hand these tasks off to others—and make big money in doing so. Stephen Key, a highly successful entrepreneur whose creations have generated billions of revenue, offers the simple, effortless secret to success: license your simple idea and let others do the work. Breaking down the process of generating and licensing a product idea to a large company, he explains why you don’t need to reinvent the wheel: Simple improvements to existing products can be very successful endeavors—and the most lucrative. The old method of bringing products to market through prototyping and patents doesn’t work anymore. It’s cheaper and more profitable to do it Key’s way. One Simple Idea gives you everything you need to tap into the marketing and sales power of partners and licensors for maximum profit.

Book excerpt: The definitive history of America’s greatest incubator of innovation and the birthplace of some of the 20th century’s most influential technologies “Filled with colorful characters and inspiring lessons . . . The Idea Factory explores one of the most critical issues of our time: What causes innovation?” —Walter Isaacson, The New York Times Book Review “Compelling . . . Gertner's book offers fascinating evidence for those seeking to understand how a society should best invest its research resources.” —The Wall Street Journal From its beginnings in the 1920s until its demise in the 1980s, Bell Labs-officially, the research and development wing of AT&T-was the biggest, and arguably the best, laboratory for new ideas in the world. From the transistor to the laser, from digital communications to cellular telephony, it's hard to find an aspect of modern life that hasn't been touched by Bell Labs. In The Idea Factory, Jon Gertner traces the origins of some of the twentieth century's most important inventions and delivers a riveting and heretofore untold chapter of American history. At its heart this is a story about the life and work of a small group of brilliant and eccentric men-Mervin Kelly, Bill Shockley, Claude Shannon, John Pierce, and Bill Baker-who spent their careers at Bell Labs. Today, when the drive to invent has become a mantra, Bell Labs offers us a way to enrich our understanding of the challenges and solutions to technological innovation. Here, after all, was where the foundational ideas on the management of innovation were born.

Book excerpt: If you have been nurturing a Great Idea and wondered how to Launch a Brand, how to Launch a Product or about Launching a Venture, this is the Book for you. I wrote this book because, like you, the best ideas come to you as a way to fill some unmet need in your life. "Necessity is the mother of all invention" is never truer than when you brilliantly think up an innovation, invention, or service that will make your life easier, more fun, or is just plain smart. I was standing in my kitchen after going through my usual morning routine one mundane Monday when inspiration hit me. I cannot go into great detail about my invention because I have sold it, and it now belongs to a larger company. Due to an NDA that is currently in place, I don't even know if that company is utilizing my invention. I thought to myself that if someone could create this certain thing that it would make my life a whole lot easier. I would really use this and spend good money on this if someone thought to create it. That "someone" was me! Why couldn't I create a fantastic item that would make my life better and make money doing it? This book begins right where it should -at the birth of an idea. Even the best authors get writer's block, and the best inventors lose their muse, so I thought it only appropriate to start at the very beginning. I will teach you how to stimulate your creativity, brainstorm ideas, and finally locate a sustainable and realistic product that will become your invention. Then, we move onto what it takes to bring that idea to life, crafting prototypes, locating manufacturers, enlisting the help of carpenters, tech developers, and anyone who can assist in creating the physical adaption of your idea. I wanted to not only help you think of something that you can create, but also push you to create it, and then sell it. After all, we innovators only create so that others can utilize our creations, right? This is why I dedicated a great portion of this book to also help you sell your idea. I've included the most in-depth research for social media marketing, brand development, package designing, and so much more to help you deliver the total package. During my time as an inventor, I have come across too many innovators who have sat on an idea, waiting for the right time to start. Inventors who did their best to share their products with the world, only to miss the mark in their marketing strategies and fail. Creators who lost the rights to their work because they didn't know how to secure legal protection. In this book, you will find the answers to all of your questions. It is the complete roadmap that will undoubtedly guide your product to success. This book will teach you absolutely everything you need to know about: Creating Prototypes Building a Band Around your Product Protecting your Intellectual Property and Plans Selling Your Idea for a Profit ...and so much more. I have no doubt in my mind that if you follow the advice detailed within these pages that you will see your idea through all the way to launch. What are you waiting for? Your destiny awaits as I am sure you are sitting on an idea that will be the "Next Big Thing." click "Add to Cart" now!

Book excerpt: In this hugely ambitious and stimulating book, Peter Watson describes the history of ideas, from deep antiquity to the present day, leading to a new way of understanding our world and ourselves. The narrative begins nearly two million years ago with the invention of hand-axes and explores how some of our most cherished notions might have originated before humans had language. Then, in a broad sweep, the book moves forward to consider not the battles and treaties of kings and prime ministers, emperors and generals, but the most important ideas we have evolved, by which we live and which separate us from other animals. Watson explores the first languages and the first words, the birth of the gods, the origins of art, the profound intellectual consequences of money. He describes the invention of writing, early ideas about law, why sacrifice and the soul have proved so enduring in religion. He explains how ideas about time evolved, how numbers were conceived, how science, medicine, sociology, economics, and capitalism came into being. He shows how the discovery of the New World changed forever the way that we think, and why Chinese creativity faded after the Middle Ages. In the course of this commanding narrative, Watson reveals the linkages down the ages in the ideas of many apparently disparate philosophers, astronomers, religious leaders, biologists, inventors, poets, jurists, and scores of others. Aristotle jostles with Aquinas, Ptolemy with Photius, Kalidasa with Zhu Xi, Beethoven with Strindberg, Jefferson with Freud. Ideas is a seminal work.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book of 2016 Winner of the Zócalo Public Square Book Prize On March 29, 1516, the city council of Venice issued a decree forcing Jews to live in il geto—a closed quarter named for the copper foundry that once occupied the area. The term stuck. In this sweeping and original account, Mitchell Duneier traces the idea of the ghetto from its beginnings in the sixteenth century and its revival by the Nazis to the present. As Duneier shows, we cannot comprehend the entanglements of race, poverty, and place in America today without recalling the ghettos of Europe, as well as earlier efforts to understand the problems of the American city. Ghetto is the story of the scholars and activists who tried to achieve that understanding. As Duneier shows, their efforts to wrestle with race and poverty cannot be divorced from their individual biographies, which often included direct encounters with prejudice and discrimination in the academy and elsewhere. Using new and forgotten sources, Duneier introduces us to Horace Cayton and St. Clair Drake, graduate students whose conception of the South Side of Chicago established a new paradigm for thinking about Northern racism and poverty in the 1940s. We learn how the psychologist Kenneth Clark subsequently linked Harlem’s slum conditions with the persistence of black powerlessness, and we follow the controversy over Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s report on the black family. We see how the sociologist William Julius Wilson redefined the debate about urban America as middle-class African Americans increasingly escaped the ghetto and the country retreated from racially specific remedies. And we trace the education reformer Geoffrey Canada’s efforts to transform the lives of inner-city children with ambitious interventions, even as other reformers sought to help families escape their neighborhoods altogether. Duneier offers a clear-eyed assessment of the thinkers and doers who have shaped American ideas about urban poverty—and the ghetto. The result is a valuable new estimation of an age-old concept.
