Thanks! Yep, there it is on the dash. Learn something new every day…

Hi Lori:

On your dashboard, at the bottom of your submission once it is scheduled. Good luck to you!

Best of luck to you Coach! I have a question though, I’m new to EN. How do you know when it’s presentation day? Sorry if this is a goofy question!

I have my fingers crost for you dave let 2012 be good to you. You have to be in it to win it. It would be nice to see you hit a home run.

Thanks Yolanda!

Great Job coach… :)

Thanks Roger….Great Stuff!!

Dave, Congratulations on the G7. Below is something I have posted for new Inventors to hopefully give them a good perspective.

PERSISTENCE, PATIENCE AND POSITIVE ATTITUDE

Persistence- Dictionary.com defines persistence as “the act or fact of persisting.” I would expand on that definition to add “A controlled steady movement towards a goal”. Many Inventors tend to be overly pushy and demanding wanting answers immediately from the company they are trying to get interested in their product idea. There is a fine line between Persistence and being a Pest. Once that line is crossed your chances of success are lost.

Patience-If you don’t have it, you better start learning it. Inventing is a love/hate relationship. You love your idea and want the world to buy it, but you hate the time it takes to get it to market. No matter how much control you think you have over your project there are always obstacles you can’t control. So, unless you are the sole person doing every aspect of the design, gathering materials, manufacturing, shipping, sales, marketing, product placement and own a chain of stores to sell it, you will be waiting on someone.

Positive Attitude- The final P is Positive Attitude. Without it the first two mean nothing. Your attitude can make or break your success. Whether it is a meeting with potential investors, a presentation of your idea to a company or speaking with a consumer about your product your attitude is key to your success.
You have to have faith in yourself and your idea. If you don’t why should anyone else? You don’t see an infomercial on T.V. saying “We think you might like our product.” Instead they are saying “You will love how it does _________ faster, better, easier.” Why, because they know these are words that are positive and tell the consumer the benefits of their product. They are stating all the positives to get you in that same frame of mind.
Ask yourself why you came up with this idea. Do you truly believe it will accomplish what you say it will? If you can be positive about your product and its benefits are real, not just hype, it will sell.

Remember- “Dreams are accomplished by people who do, not by people who wish”.

Just got a G7 about an hour ago.

Who else is still alive?

Great Going Robert … Glad to see you in here too !!! Lots of Fans in the Stands Rooting for You All !!!!

I can hardly imagine the amount of work Scott Dromms has had to do in the past few days to put EN’s best foot forward during these many presentations!

Thaks Betsy, Patricia and Robert.
Robert are you still in this one? If so good luck?
Coach..your in the final inning. Good luck and be aware of the extra innings:)

Coach if your dashboard still shows green you are still alive. Although it is presentation day we do not know what time the presentation is, nor do we know when the final selections were or will be made. From my experience E.N. has so many great ideas it will often come down to the wire, they have some tough decisions to make. Then factor in a delay from the decision making process to its reflection on our dashboards. I am sure they will be updated soon. Best of luck to everyone.

Sorry Charlie … you’ll get the next one I am sure !!!

Charlie and to everyone else Good Luck, I am hoping a Grand Slam for all of you !!!1

Well….It’s presentation day and my dashboard still shows G5. I would like to think that it means I am still alive. Therefore, if I’m still alive on the day of presentation, would I be wrong for assuming that my idea is being presented? It would really suck if two days from now I receive a G7. Sorry…just trying to make sense of it all:)

Sorry Charlie!!! Dave, everytime I look at your avatar, it makes me want to hand ya a Gatorade! :-D

Go get em coach..R-7 here

Still at G5!! LOL:)

breathe, Dave!!! lol

What about the G6’s?? This is torchor!!:)

The G7’s usually show up the night before the presentation… sometimes the day of the presentation. Best of luck to all of you!!!

Hi Dave..I do understand were your coming from. I hve 2 ideas that have been in G4 a while and it is hard not to check the status of your inventions daily. I was told by reading the forums that it might be a good sign…..Good Luck!!!!!Denise W

Hi coach, Hopefully to help ease your anxiety..I’m at the same spot same search. Patience is really helpfull.
EN is growing by leaps and bounds and probably can’t hire fast enough. So sit tight, if you feel that good about your product..then just enjoy the ride. All good things take time my friend. Best of luck, I’m sure it’s a winner:) Aloha
