I want to invent something cool.

I love taking an idea and sketching out the functions and its very rewarding when my Pink Junction members are using it. What's frustrating is tech issues....ugh. You fix one thing and something else needs adjustment. It never ends...and sometimes what takes one day to develop always seem to stretch out to 3 or 5 days.

I waited on an investor for 9 months...and I missed my opportunity to launch a mobile app. and be one of the first apps. iphone. I should have just developed my ideas with small funds or my savings instead of waiting on an investor.

1. Never believe anyone until the agreement is signed or the check is cashed into your bank.
2. No free lunch. I tend to be polite and the next thing I know I'm having lunch with a powerful executive or well known person and they just want to suck information from me in return for an expensive lunch. Just skip the lunches and enjoy a phone conversation or coffee at Starbucks.

3. Don't wait to close a deal with a company...build your idea and then license it to them. That was my biggest lesson. I met with Oprah's top executives and the VP Marketing at Martha Stewart Living pitching mobile apps. in 2007 and 2008 ...I was too early. they came out with apps. in 2010....I should have developed my own app. earlier then include them. At the end I do have a successful app. called Soleil Organics on iphone and Android but, its not a cash cow.

Here's the long version. Have fun reading!!! In 2 sentences: I was a successful publicist during the .com boom, worked with start-ups and celebrities  - my ideas  and connections made others successful and wealthy - now,I'm launching my own business.
