A Fantastic Guide for Any Inventor!

This is the third or fourth book I’ve read by Stephen Key and the first on Audible. I gained so much new knowledge and inspiration re: product development and licensing from this book. It’s filled with real-life advice and even “scripts” that can help anyone reach out to potential licensees. The interviews with industry experts are also especially valuable.

Incredible insights and very valuable info..

I listened to Stephen's first book more than 10 times so I had high expectations with this new book. I was getting a little worried through the first half of the book because there was so much repetition from the other book. I'm not a fan of legalizing marijuana so the section about marijuana products didn't help. The second half though, especially chapter 15, made it all worth it. I've heard you say several times that certain people gave you the keys to the kingdom. There were a few nuggets in this book that I feel like gave me the keys to the kingdom so thank you for that! The interviews with companies and other inventors were especially helpful but you're tips in chapter 15 answered several questions I've had about how you were able to figure out the process that led to your success. Thanks! Looking forward to your next book!

Very informative

Would recommend this book to anyone looking to become an inventer. Also gives great resources to help you contact companies.

The Ultimate Blueprint for Inventor Success

Absolutely great, covering every aspect of the road to becoming a Professional Inventor. Interviews offer a wealth of advice from real people, from various areas of the invention licensing business. Planing to re-listen the whole book beginning tomorrow.

Best Inventor book I have ever read!

I love the way Stephen tells us how to do it and just as importantly what to NOT do. This is a must-read for anyone new to the industry.

Must read for inventors

Todd book helped me prepare for my inventions. I am new to inventing, but this made me confident. The only thing I didn't really like is the book stating you don't really need a patent, but you do, so kind of contradicting, but no big deal deal. It still explain its reasoning and I still like the book. will read more from this author.
