Link to Part 2: th-cam.com/video/kxffKvc9Xw0/w-d-xo.html Paul’s insights were valuable don’t you think? Have you successfully taken a product from idea to launch and want to talk about it? Leave a comment and let us know!
Great video, packed with loads of great advice and ideas. I loved the take away. 1. Observe 2. Think laterally 3. Solve problems 4. Think lean 5. Fix what bugs you.
I didn't go to school for an MBA but something tells me that these nuggets of advice that Paul is giving are worth their weight in Gold! Listening & Learning!! Thanks again UpFlip!
Some good essentials to starting a business. This mimics the new product development process that is relevant in many businesses today: have an idea, and then test it or validate it through market research. One statement that stood out and this is so true in what I teach "the people that win are those who don't protect their idea, but those who deliver the best product to the market in a timely fashion". If you can master a quality product that is accessible and convenient to customers, ladies and gentleman you have a business! Thanks for sharing and I like listening to entrepreneurial content for inspiration so I will be staying tuned to this series.
i've seen many of these interviews, and i own/operate my own successful business, and have always been an entrepreneur. this is one of the best ones you've done. this guy is a wellspring of good advice and information.

For those that don't know, Paul Akers is a living legend in manufacturing. Yes, he sells mainly to the woodworking industry, but Fastcap is a world renowned company.
Thank you Paul and Paul, lol. Love this episode. Quality over growth forsure! Long-term thinking. Love all of Upflip's content! Keep up the great work!
A $100k worth of information. I'm am developing a product right now. I built a functional prototype. I now have proof of concept (it works as intended). Time to dial in the specs to speak with manufacturers. Once I get to the point of marketing I now know trade shows are on the bottom of the list. Focus on quality. 🙌 thank you.
Thanks for sharing... I'm Khaing Zaw from Myanmar. We do decoration works. We also start one Furniture factory@ 2020. I got a lot of idea and how to make our platform idea also.
A very sobering word of caution: Part of the patent process involves making sure you're not infringing on somebody else's IP. If you choose not to patent, that's fine. But you'd better do an extremely thorough job of protecting yourself in this regard. And even after the fact, if you don't have a filing, somebody could literally patent your idea and sue for infringement. It can be a slippery slope.
So is his business creating other people’s inventions than? So if I have a good idea I can take it to him he can create it then I get royalties? I just don’t see where they flat say exactky what his part is
About validation. I got a idea, IT one, I made a proof of concept, and share it. I do not put any money in promotion, but have a small but stable interests over years. And tricky question, once a year i got reply - cool idea, i wanna buy it. And it's one from hundred. Is this kind idea worth it, from 100 curious one with the bill?
But you're no Nicola Tesla. 90% of all filed patents never make it to market. All a patent does is allows you to go to court and parent litigation is an easy million in legal fees.

This episode is loaded with golden nuggets. A bit unconventional but, solid, battle-tested approaches. He should be teaching business in universities.
I agree but he kinda gives me “steel your idea vines” not saying I know but just a funny vibe
Great video, packed with loads of great advice and ideas. I loved the take away.
1. Observe
2. Think laterally
3. Solve problems
4. Think lean
5. Fix what bugs you.
Your point 1 is so important. I’ve wasted so much time in domains where I’m not an expert. Learning though!

You're welcome Brian!

mind boggling
Paul is the MAN
Indeed!

Marvelous
Indeed!

Is this kind idea worth it, from 100 curious one with the bill?
Try posting it on Kickstarter or a crowdfunding site to see if people like the idea.
Great series but dude.... cut the ads. It’s very distractive. Trying to focus but can’t. They are so many☹️
Sorry about that, we’ll tone it down.
Have you tried TH-cam premium, no ads and I can download videos and watch even without cell service, No Cap
Does the camera guy have to use the bathroom?
First check for patents.
This is an excellent step Charlie. 😀Thank you.
👍
Tesla has over 580 patents.
Crowd funding
Thats another great option if you have great idea!
Does he patent every new thing he invent? That's not cheap.
Not everything.
@@UpFlip Great videos you are posting keep them coming.
I disagree with not securing patents lol look at nikola tesla he got screwed over not protecting his inventions
Good point! Paul is unconventional ;)
But you're no Nicola Tesla. 90% of all filed patents never make it to market. All a patent does is allows you to go to court and parent litigation is an easy million in legal fees.
Elon is also creating things nobody else can figure out or even afford to create haha not a new spatula
....why is Paul wearing a turtle neck and puff jacket but the host is just wearing a long T?
