I picked this book up as a curiosity, because like everyone else, I've seen new gadgets, shops and web sites that I had casually considered previously. This book is a great read for anyone who has had the same notion, but thought the process is probably too difficult - I've learned it's not! The author presents a step-by-step method for getting involved with the innovation process on several different levels, depending on the amount of available time and level of commitment. Written very clearly with lots of examples, hints and sources.

Just finished reading Mike Collin's book and have to say he did a great job! I wish it had been available when I first started inventing. It would have saved me a lot of hardship and time. It is filled with great insight and common sense tools that every Inventor can use.
I have read a number of other Inventor help type books and always felt that they just didn't give the reader any useful information. Mike's hit the nail on the head with great information and personal experiences, not only by himself, but other Inventors. This book is a winner!

My introduction title says it all. Never have I read a book with as much hands on, useable information as I've read in this book. Other enterpreneural books are laden with too much "pop psychology speaking optimism, keeping your chin up, never taking no for an answer". This is the first book I've read that contained information that I could acutally use, nearly on every page. Great job Mike. Please put out another one. I'll be the first at the bookstore.

I loved the book. It's a book for real people who want to do something with the ideas they have. Well written and easy to read. I enjoyed it very much and have recommended it to friends.

This book provides a practical roadmap for everyday inventors seeking to cash in on their ideas. It has just the right combination of helpful information, business strategy, real life stories and inspiration to get that idea off the shelf and moving toward making you money.

Mike Collins shares numerous, invaluable experiences that illustrate the path from "an idea", which is inherent, to creating something tangible and realistic that has an apparent market value. This book will encourage and engage the passion of anyone considering moving forward with an innovative venture.

This book is great in helping everyone realize that they have some special "idea" or interest that could be the potential for something greater. You don't have to have invented something for this book to be helpful. Collins walks you through a process of helping you determine what your million-dollar idea could be.

Good basic handbook for marketing on the internet. Lots of references to where to get started. The siting of "real life" people made it very down to earth, as well as credits to be able to connect with these folks.

This book was amazing. As a person with a lot of little ideas it gave me actual ways to make money on those ideas. I am the kind of person that has all kinds of little contraptions or inventions around the house but I never really knew what I could do with them. Collins lays out a few basics and makes you realize that getting those ideas out there may not be so hard. Inspiration! Lots of possibilities. Anyone who has ever had an idea or invented something should read this book.

Great book! A must read for the latent entrepreneur (all of us) from someone who has fostered many million-dollar ideas.
