Think you need a patent? Think again. Many of the products Stephen Key has licensed required no intellectual property protection whatsoever, yet have made millions in royalties. But Key also knows what it takes to protect a big idea. Years ago, after reading about how medication bottles rarely contain enough space for the information that needs to be printed on them, he was inspired to develop an innovative label technology.

Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist, who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. Born and raised in the Austrian Empire, Tesla received an advanced education in engineering and physics in the 1870s and gained practical experience in the early 1880s working in telephony and at Continental Edison in the new electric power industry. He emigrated to the United States in 1884, where he would become a naturalized citizen.

You live in your dream house, but there's no mortgage. No alarm clock, no boss, no bills. No claims on the day's time other than what you choose. It is making more money before breakfast than you made for an entire week at your last job. It is a crazy expensive car parked in your garage, a victorious symbol that your dreams no longer sleep in fantasies, but are awake with reality.

Nine remarkable men produced inventions that changed the world. The printing press, the telephone, powered flight, recording, and other innovations have made the modern world what it is. But who had these ideas and made realities of them? As David Angus explains, they were very different: quiet, boisterous, confident, or withdrawn. But all had a moment of vision that they combined with single-minded determination to battle through numerous obstacles and produce something that really worked.

so so
well the story was adequate the author kept mentioning a section of the book with more resource links and whatnot and I don't think that section of the book was read off so there seems to be a section in the audiobook they could have read off and spelled Out the resource links but that's missing from the audiobook section so slightly disappointing but overall good story of good information

Not enough information to be very useful
What would have made Inventor's Workshop better?
This book contains some basic information but not nearly enough to do much good. I would liken it to a map that talks about the start and destination and a few points in between but is missing many details regarding pitfalls and turns to make along the way.Stephen Key's book "One Simple Idea" will give you much more information but it is also missing key information that is crucial to success.Use this book to fill in a few pieces of the puzzle but don't rely on it as your sole source for learning to license or venture your product.
