With just $6,000 and a product idea called the Foam Former, Grant walks listeners through the six essential steps that successful inventors take to bring their product to market. He debunks common myths pushed by online "gurus," explains how to do realistic market research using Amazon, and dives into why most new inventors waste time on patents too early. You'll also hear about the early struggles inventors face, the false promises made by invention brokers like InventHelp, and how to trust your gut while filtering out 90% of the noise online. Whether you're a first-time product creator or already have a few ideas under your belt, this raw and insightful episode is your blueprint for building a real product business—without falling into the typical traps. What if I told you that a simple idea and a $6,000 investment could turn into a six-figure brand — and it doesn't even start with a patent? This is how real inventors actually make money, in six simple steps. And for today's episode, we’re going to use my little pal here, called the Foam Former. But before we get into that, let’s talk about Step One: what's the first thing most inventors do to become profitable and actually make money?

The Problem: Inventors and entrepreneurs are always full of ideas. They’re like a dog scratching at the door to get out into the yard and chase squirrels. The squirrels represent the ideas. Not only is any single squirrel tough to catch, but if you try to catch more than one, you’re unlikely to catch any. The Innovator’s Bullseye gives you a tool to zero in on the squirrel you need to run down. The Bullseye Approach: The tool has four levels. The most important thing to get right is at the center (your customer), with each outer level becoming less critical to your success. Note: Your goal is simplification. When you complete your bullseye, just a few words (or a short phrase) in each area is enough. That way, you’ll be able to understand your strategy at a quick glance! The Center of the Bullseye: Target Customer Who is your target customer? What pain are they experiencing, what gain do they want, or what job are they trying to accomplish? This is not the place to focus on solutions. You must be able to write this in one sentence.  Example: Vacationers struggling to secure items on their vehicle. First Ring: The Marketing Mix Also known as the “4Ps” (Product, Price, Place, and Promotion), this ring of the bullseye helps you clarify how your product or service will satisfy that customer job, problem, pain, or gain. Product What features matter to your target customer and their problem/job/pain/gain, and which are distracting? Choose no more than three features (ideally, one!) that are the most critical or unique to your product or service. Price Is it better to be cheaper? More expensive? Free? Sell on a subscription basis? Don’t worry so much about the specific price. Settle on a pricing strategy. The specifics will change. The strategy should not.  Place Would it be better to sell on Amazon? On your own website? Direct through live salespeople? In a retail store? Through a partner? On social media? In the Marketing Mix, “place” refers to where your customer goes to buy your product or service.  Promotion How can your brand or your advertising create a meaningful difference in the mind of your target customer? This isn’t the place for all your messaging or advertising plans. Focus on the promotional strategy—the most important message to communicate or the most important tactic t The Invent With Me Podcast, where each week we help aspiring inventors and product creators to turn their innovative ideas into reality.
