I agree – Happy Holidays Roger and thanks for the time you give back. Although I still seek the elusive G8, my ideas, sell sheets and overall presentations are so much stronger with reading your posts.

Thanks

Roger!

Do you take a lunch break? LOL

I look forward to getting your wise counsel on my ideas. No rush….as I see you are a VERY busy man!

THANKS AGAIN AND AGAIN for everything! :)

A Toast ! Thank you Roger Brown for all that you do . May your good deeds come right back to you ! we here at EN are very greatful for your kindness and consideration to others, it most shines through all of us sisters and brothers. As we here at EN struggle to move foward in our quest for success, you have always helped free us from that dreaded nest. You are a man of great talent and pride, may we all learn from you, and simply enjoy the ride ! GOD BLESS !!!!!

I appreciate all the kind words and am glad to hear that so many of you find the information helpful. Hopefully it will help you make informed decisions and be successful.

2 month newbie here. I started reading the forums right away and Roger was 1 of the 1st friend requests I sent out. I make it a point to read his posts because they’re helpful and informative. His website is awesome http://www.rogerbrown.net/ . Roger, thanks for all your contributions.

Hear hear! Roger has helped even more people than he thinks with his open knowledge. I know, I’m one of them. Thanks Roger.

Hear hear!!

Thanks Penny!

As there new members arriving daily and I thought it might help them get to know about Roger’s lessons and the positive feedback here from many he has helped. In short…….bump…

It keeps me out of trouble. Most of time anyway. LOL

Sounds like a full day Roger. Thanks for all you do helping the inventors here. Your advice has been invaluable.

Hi Frank, Here you go.

Every day is a little different depending on the projects I am working on at the time. So, I will give you an example of Thursday. I cold called a company that deals in plumbing products Wednesday and after talking with the VP of marketing he agreed to review my submissions. They normally only look at patented ideas, but after looking at my website he agreed to give me the option of sending non-patented items to him for review. He is having their lawyer amend their confidential agreement for me to allow non-patented ideas. So, Thursday morning I was at Lowe’s at 7am when they opened. I wandered Lowe’s until about 9:30am having looked thoroughly at all the plumbing fixtures and making notes on some ideas I had for new products.
Got home around 10am and answered about 30 emails, made a couple calls to 4 companies that are holding my submissions to find out their status. Called the company that is producing my two new kitchen products (Measuring cup and whisk) due out February of 2012 to check on the samples they made.
1:30PM went to the post office to mail off the Looking2License CDs that were ordered this week and check my P.O. Box. Received 3 signed NDAs from companies I had spoke to Monday and a package with samples from an Inventor wanting me to check out her product.
3:00PM Back home answering 18 more emails from Inventors, reading 7 email responses from various companies I had sent out earlier in the week and responding to those.
4:45PM- started calling four toy companies on the west coast about my submissions.
6:15PM – doing research on the internet about my plumbing ideas.
7:30PM- redesigning my Ball Valve tool while watching TV.
8:40PM- called it a day.

Roger,
What’s a typical day like for you, business wise?

Sherri, love the song, very good beat. I have looked in on the Inventors Lounge from time to time. I just don’t have the time I would like to participate in all the threads that EN has running.

You know, Roger…I don’t get to stop into the Inventor’s Lounge her at EN as often as I would like, but I noticed you never stop in there???

Just wanted to let you know that you missed an awesome party the other night as we were celebrating Penny’s birthday and Toni L’s anniversary….but when this selection was played on the jukebox and everyone did the “Roger Brown” out on the dancefloor..I think all that alcohol and fast dancing totally wiped me out! LOL!! The flipside of that selection was “Thank You”!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQTJh8XCM5M&...

Thank you for everything you do for us, Roger! You know we like you!!!!

Thank you, Penster, EN is wonderful. I wish it would have existed years ago…but this gives a lot of us hope that we can fulfill the dream of creating and bringing to market a product. EN is really top-notch, IMO. So lucky to be here!

Welcome to EN Carla.

Glad that you read Roger’s posts, he really is a wonderful resource and a really nice person.

To all who posted sincere and nice thoughts of Roger, kudos!

As a newbie getting acquainted here, I have read through some of Roger’s postings and found them very valuable. Thank you, Roger!

Oh my, it is frank the high priest… I am not of a level to handle his arial attack. As one of the minions of the bullying, you should know all about hijacking threads Frank.

I am speaking out against the passive aggressive us-against-them attitude of the post. I must have interrupted your seance, I’m sorry.

Chappy; and the point of your hijack was….. ?

That’s ok Roger.
I have another one that is just-as, if not more, powerful than that one. It is at least 7 years before its time, just as the one you reviewed was when it was originally ideated. EN is currently reviewing the new one. If anybody can get it done, they can.

Chappy, finished reading your business plan. As expected it is well written and full of facts and figures. Good example of what a business plan should look like. Shame you were not able to execute the plan and get it funded.

The difference is that Bernie Madoff made numbers tell a story other than fact of past performance for the benefit of future gains. That is just wrong!
The Bernie Madoff story is one of cooking the books and booking the crooks.

Chappy thats the same words Bernie Madoff used….LOL

“Those are what I have received the most acclaim and happen to be my greatest strength. I make numbers work. Numbers sing an unparalleled song that makes sense to a trained ear”.

Just want to add; I appreciate the way Roger is straight up with people when answering their questions…. it may not be what they WANT to hear or be how they THOUGHT it should be, but at least he’s being honest and who could ask for more than that?
When anyone ask a direct, specific question of Roger, he replies with a direct, specific answer… not a multiple month drum-roll, waiting for the ‘big reveal’ kind of answer, or some Zen Riddle that nobody gets, or just ignoring the question altogether; straight answers/lessons that are based on years of HANDS-ON experience.

THANK YOU once again Roger!

11 pages is impressive considering there is a title page, a prefix and 3 pages of graphics. Heaven help you when you get to the spreadsheets. Businessmen love spreadsheets. Those are what I have received the most acclaim and happen to be my greatest strength. I make numbers work. Numbers sing an unparalleled song that makes sense to a trained ear.

Chappy, I have not responded yet because I am reading the 22 page business plan as I have time between working on other projects. I am about half way through and as I would expect it is very thorough.

this is no beef with Roger. I sent him a business plan and there was no feedback but I didn’t expect any either.

Penster wrote… “Once and awhile…there are challenging circumstances and we overcome that and or it or them.” Then further antagonized with…" He (Roger) earns no income for sharing his experience and guidance with us and sometimes gets the occasional…challenger…..pffft.

That is an “Us-Against-Them” mentality. I didn’t think that is what EN had in mind when they opened up a public forum. Facebook has inacted “bullying” rules and many states. As juvenile as bullying is, when there is a persistant group that refuses, deminishes or abolishes thoughts that do not align with their own and prevent exploration of concepts that are not of the groups origin the group is engaged in bullying activities. If the group holds a single figure head who has teachings that cannot be challenged. That is a cult if it is not a religion.

What would you call it?

Chappy..

Lets keep this topic on topic here and not turn it into something else. If you have a beef with Roger take
it to another thread . You are coming off as stalking Roger now…enough !

I don’t understand the “Us-Against-Them” reference: who is ‘us’ and who is ’them’’?

Chappy… “The Situation”… LOL… Handled? Really… Big thanks to Roger is cool but how can a “Us-Against-Them” mentality be healthy? It isn’t.

Maybe a new cartoon can be started… “Battle Bloggers Ho! all you need is a computer and a internet connection and can join forces… Be a ”Battle Blogger" TODAY! “Ask not what your blog can do for you; Ask What you can do for your blog.”
Funny stuff! pffft…

Yes! Thanks, Roger!! You are a terrific teacher. Through your posts, CD set and lesson #‘s, I’ve had a schooling in what turns an idea into a invention and that invention into a deal. It’ll happen one day!! You are too kind and too generous with your time. You don’t get thanked NEARLY enough!
so…
thank you
thank you
thank you!
:-)

I have had the pleasure of working with Roger and he is the real deal. His system works and his advice is invaluable. Thanks Roger!

I ran into Roger at a job fair in Georgia about a year ago and to my amazement he gave me helpful advice on getting my ideas to market, so thank you Roger. we are blessed to have you as a true friend.

The only way on earth to multiply happiness is to divide it.-Paul Scherer (love the internet…)

Roger demonstrates “The surest way to multiply happiness is to divide it.” (Franklin? Lincoln? Twain? One of those guys.)

I always find myself reading past posts of Roger. I have about 10 of his threads bookmarked for safe keeping. His insight is amazing and I am thankful for all the advice he and other forum members have posted.

Roger, you are the best! However, I e-mailed you 3 minutes ago about something critical and you haven’t responded yet! What’s going on? Trouble prioritizing – again?
;-)

Thanks, Penster – good idea.

Thank you Roger for the invaluable information you have freely shared. I’ve been an EN member well over a year and your posts have helped me to navigate this whole process.

Best wishes!

Kudos to you Roger and the outpouring of thanks people obviously feel you deserve.

ps. Now go check your junk folder and answer my email!! lol

Thank you for all the kind comments. I think we all learn from each other making us all better Inventors. I hope everyone here finds the success they want to get out of inventing and avoids the pitfalls so many Inventors seem to hit.

Yes Roger..a million thanks for all you do helping other’s here on this forum !

Thank You Roger!
Thanks for all you do Roger!

Thank You Roger!
Your generosity was well into play when I found EN in May and it would be easy to take for granted. Your background, skills and giving nature have made you a true cornerstone here at EN! Very much appreciated!
Thanks Pen! ;-)

Yes, I agree, Roger, I learned the lesson of a sell sheet when you posted it and now, every single product idea I have has one and I recently received a huge contract with just 1 sell sheet for concept with just a PPA! Excellent work! I have not had the chance to talk to you in person, but that one lesson really helped me and thank you!

Roger has been invaluable to me and my successes getting two products to market through Spencer Gifts.

Thanks for all you do Roger!

Jason

I have to say, from the get go – Roger has been nothing but helpful! I havn’t been here very long – but, I have learned so very much about the inventing processes – thanks to Mr. Brown.

Thanks Penster for the thread! and Thanks again Roger!

Sincerely,
Lisa Lee

Thank you, Penster for starting this thread ..  We cant thank Roger enough for his extraordinary threads and for those he has  in sighted  to add their invaluable thoughts as well ..  

Roger I absolutely stand with the others to applaud you .. I so appreciate what you do and give us, honestly, openly.  Not only is it your knowledge and unyielding convictions to share and make a difference that comes through consistently  but so does your awareness  and emotional intelligence..  With wisdom, clarity and focus you guide us while  peeling away the layers of a problem  demonstrating  yet another approach to understanding it’s complexities while truly understanding the value and importance of going the distance .. Thank you again … And may the force be with you ..Lol ( just had to throw that in )  .. Seriously your the best! 

Thanks Roger for being so helpful, and such a giver. I have been here for a little over a month, but I have already seen so much that he shares and helps other. Thanks so much, for this selfless help.

From one Brown to another I want to say Thank you for all that you do.
Your guidance in these forums is very much appreciated.
Thanks Roger…

One thing i really love about Roger is his style… !!! He can always put things in simple terms for many to understand… He gives examples that back up what he states that makes such perfect sense… !!!

Thanks Roger… Your a giver that is for sure !!!! :)))))
