John Abdo
Interview
How Chicago Man
Went From Broke, Overweight and Up To His Eye
Balls In Debt To $500 Million In Sales With An
Invention That Turned The Fitness Industry On
Its Head
It’s true that one
good idea can make you millions. But it’s not
enough just to have a good idea for an
invention. You also have to think about
patenting it, creating a prototype, looking for
financial backing and marketing the finished
product. It can be a risky hassle, but if it’s
done right, it can be well worth the trouble.
So in this
interview you’ll meet John Abdo. John is a
fitness trainer, motivational coach and former
host of a health-and-fitness TV program that ran
from 1985-1997. Toward the end of the show’s
run, it started losing money and so did John. He
was almost bankrupt in 1999 when he had to
liquidate his assets and sell his house. But
because John was actively marketing a new
invention, he quickly ended up back on top.
The revenue from
that invention brought John from near-bankruptcy
to millionaire. And in this three-hour,
three-part audio you’ll hear exactly how he did
it. John had no idea what he was doing when he
first started out. He was just a guy with a
positive attitude and a great idea. And you’ll
get to hear all of the steps he took to bring
his idea to fruition and all of the many lessons
he learned along the way.
You’ll also
hear…
-
What an “inventor’s log” is and how keeping
one can help you prove the rights to your
product in court
-
What a patent is and why you might want to
think about applying for a provisional one
rather than a traditional one
-
When to go to a patent attorney and how to
pick a good one
-
Why you should think twice before using an
invention submission company
-
What an “angel investor” is and ways to find
one
-
What to look for in a production company and
some important questions to ask to make sure
they can handle the job
-
How to ensure your contract negotiations
include all of the roles you’ll be
contributing so that you make the most of
your time and effort
-
And much, much more
John Abdo also talks
about the infomercial industry where, according
to him, 97 percent of all infomercials fail. So
he goes over ways to market your new product
that will really get the phones ringing and ways
to make sure your telemarketers aren’t blowing
those calls.
Unfortunately,
most inventors don’t get rich from just
scribbling an idea on a napkin. There are many
facets to the game, and John’s story is a good
example of how to make the most of every one of
them. So, if you’ve got a great idea but you’re
not sure what your next step should be, this is
the interview for you. It’s both informational
and inspirational. This super interview is in
three parts each about one hour long. Enjoy.
