In this episode… Coming up with an idea for a new product is easy; most people can do that. But, following through with that idea—and executing it to create a commercially viable product—is not easy.  Bringing a product to market is a difficult undertaking and requires a well-orchestrated process. Above all, you have to ensure everything is working together seamlessly: that means the design and engineering, marketing, branding, and web development. As an inventor, Louis Foreman believes that you should also ask yourself 5 core questions before getting started on your idea. Why? His answer is simple: to ensure your success and reduce your chance of failure. In this episode of the Innovations and Breakthroughs Podcast, Louis Foreman, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Enventys, talks to Rich Goldstein about the intersection between innovation and entrepreneurship. Louis discusses the 5 questions every inventor needs to ask before developing their product, the role of intellectual property in the growth of a product-based business, and why many inventors fail with their inventions.
