THE FOLLOWING PROPOSED 'START UP' VENTURES ARE MEANT FOR ALL 'START UP' VENTURES ARE MEANT FOR ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE that anything that makes common sense isn't impossible to do:
.
I would appreciate it very much if you would point out any DEFINITIVE 'fallacies' in the following proposed 'start ups'.
.
If any of these proposed 'start ups' already exist, I am not aware of them, and if they do already exist, why can't their whereabouts be easily found. ALWAYS REMEMBER: "The most valuable knowledge in any sector of society is basically worthless(as far as realizing it's full potential is concerned)if its existence isn't known by those who would most benefit from it".
1)DROWNING PREVENTION DETECTOR:
.
YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT IN THIS COUNTRY ALONE, SEVERAL HUNDRED CHILDREN DROWN IN UNATTENDED SWIMMING POOLS--this 'invention' is designed to address this issue(if something like this already exists, it's 'owners' are doing a very poor job of marketing it, WHICH IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS IS COMING UP WITH LIFE SAVING IDEA ITSELF).
.
Based on the 'Principle' described below, and dispite the ABSCENCE of a 'prototype', the following 'description' is all that is necessary for those knowledgable in the required/necessary 'technologies', to bring this 'idea' to successful fruition:
.
Using the latest in 'board technology/accelerometers/gyroscope technology, create a device that will float on a swimming pool, which when it detects any unusual/out of the ordinary 'movement' as far as any 'splash' movement(someone falling into the pool)will sound any number of possible 'alarms'--how many 'alarms' can be determined by the owner of the pool, and can include video of the pool/pool area. This 'product' can be simple or more complex, BUT IT ALL DOES THE SAME JOB, WHICH IS PERFECTLY UNDERSTANDABLE WITH JUST THIS SIMPLE DESCRIPTION!!
.
2)LIFE SAVING 'BEEPER' OR CELL PHONE 'APP':
.
The following proposed startup business venture doesn't require the use of any new or untested technology to make it fully functional and ready to implement, and therefore, DISPITE THE ABSCENCE OF A 'PROTOTYPE' OF ANY KIND, the following description of it will make it easily understandable to anybody as to what I have in mind in it's regard:
I just heard on the radio for the 5th or 6th time in less than an hour, a 'public service' safety warning that gave me an 'idea' for something that might save lives and become a profitable business venture as
well(assuming that it doesn't already exist, in which case that public service advertising money would be much better spent directing the public to the solution to the 'problem' as opposed to just warning them about it!).
In any case this 'warning' was about the hundreds of infants and pets that die each year of heatstroke from being left in the backseat of a car with the windows rolled 95% the way up. It seems to me that an inexpensive cellphone 'app'(or small 'beeper' type device)could easily solve that problem by having a small 'sensor' permanently attached to the inside of the car, and when the driver gets out of the car and gets 2 or 3 feet away from the 'sensor' the 'app'(or 'beeper' device) will 'beep' to warn the driver to check the back seat. For those who don't believe its a problem to leave infants/pets alone for a few minutes, for a little extra money they could have the 'app'(or 'beeper)alert them if the temperature in the car gets near the danger zone..
.
.
3)PREVENTING ABORTIONS:
.
.
A website that connects/introduces girls/woman who are contemplating having an abortion with the millions of couples worldwide who are waiting long periods of time to adopt newborn babies by waiting their turn in line at adoption agencies. These couples will pay for all of the girls expenses while she is waiting to have the baby, and then will give her some some money at the time of the adoption. If this website is set up properly and in a 'dignified' manner, and 'MARKETED' properly, it can save the lives of countless babies every year!!
.
4)PERSONAL SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM:
.
.
Every day of the year you read/hear literally dozens of stories in the news about about robberies, rapes, kidnappings, personal attacks and shootings of all kinds, making SECURITY something that I believe most people would consider a very important area of not only their lives, but that of their loved ones as well, and, consequently, will to do everything possible to make them as safe as possible.
.
When you couple the dismal economic conditions that are plaguing not only the citizens of this country, but those of the rest of the world as well(with no relief in sight in the forseeable future)with government's global 'push' to make it unlawful for anyone to carry a personal firearm of any kind, NEVER HAS THE GLOBAL WANT/NEED FOR A DEPENDABLE, HI-TECH PERSONAL SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM EVER BEEN MORE NECESSARY THAN IT IS TODAY!!.
.
I have been watching for the last few years as more 'personal security' type systems are being introduced, both in the form of cell phone 'apps' as well as 'pendants' worn around the neck(mainly for the sick and elderly)which when 'pressed' in the case of an emergency, they notify a call-center via 'wireless technology' that someone needs help. For a 'system' like this to work properly, SPEED AND RELIABILITY are key components that it must possess, and having to get to either your cell phone in the event of an 'attack', or to the 'pendant' around your neck, a person might not be able to get to them in time even as accessible as they obviously are.
.
My 'idea' in this regard(and the most important aspect/feature of this 'system'--WHICH, FOR BREVITY, WILL BE FROM HERE ON IN REFERED TO AS SIMPLY PSAS) is to transfer the cell phone 'triggering' method/mechanism and the 'push-button' pendant technology to a 'system' that employs an alarm system that can be easily and quickly triggered/activated by 'pushing' on a ring worn on the finger. For several obvious reasons, in almost any projected situation, sounding the alarm for help would be much more practical in every way by 'pushing' on a ring on your finger(using the thumb on the same finger that the ring is on to push it) as opposed to having to reach for your cell phone or push a pendant around your neck.
.
The 'heart' of this system will be a cell phone size 'device' that can be worn anywhere on the body(but I suggest wearing it on a belt in the 'small' of your back making it almost impossible for a 'perpetrator' to take it off the owner). When 'accosted' be someone, the owner simply pushes on the ring, which in almost every situation of being attacked, because of the easily/quickly accessed 'ring' feature, the 'perpetrator' will find it virtually impossible to stop the owner from being able to sound the alarm. Once the ring is 'pushed' it both sets off the ABOLUTELY LOUDEST POSSIBLE SOUND that is possible to come up with using todays 'sound' technology, and it also notifies a 'call center' of some kind where GPS technology can pinpoint the owners exact location. Once this loud alarm is set off the 'perpetrator can't 'silence' it without tearing if completely apart(assuming he can find it and get it off the owner in the short time before help arrives)and he will also know that the authorities have already been summoned and are on the way.
.
In order for a product like this to actually become the ultimate in PERSONAL SECURITY ALARM SYSTEMS, it must be one which has been designed with enough dependable, hi-tech 'pro-active' type deterrent features that the person who purchases it can rest assured that they will seldom, if ever, even have to 'trigger' it's alarm because the kind of personal attacks and other sinister type encounters/confrontations that they purchased it to be 'protected' from won't even happen in the first place, as once any potential muggers/robbers/rapists learn about these 'pro-active' features, they will be so 'intimidated' by them that they will move on and, unfortunately, prey on
someone who isn't 'protected' by this security system!!!!!
.
Although THE PERSONAL SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM that I propose(which doesn't require the use of any new or untried technology to be fully functional) will be designed primarily for individual personal attack type situations, because of it's 'modular' design it can be easily adapted for use in other harrowing type situations, such as to summon help if your alone and in distress, or if your possibly involved in a HOME INVASION, or in a BANK or CONVENIENCE STORE ROBBERY, or it CAN ALSO POSSIBLY BE USED IN HELPING TO PREVENT SCHOOL MASSACRES (as well as those in other places).
.
Once again, because of it's 'modular' design, this product/system has 'applications' well beyond what the average person might ever want/need, and will thus have some extra 'features' that, depending on the situation and/or the degree of protection that a company or organization may want or the amount of money that they want to spend, can be easily 'added on'!! Once the alarm has been 'triggered' on this PSAS, there can AUTOMATICALLY be set into motion several possible 'senarios' as described below(which, once again, when potential perpetrators learn of the existence of these alarms/features, it will keep them from ever bothering any person or place that is 'protected' by this system--one of whose 'pro-active' deterrent features, by the way, will make them well aware of who is and who isn't being 'protected' by this system!!!) :
.
1)with the addition of an audio/video 'app', this 'system' can also possibly aide in actually identifing the robbers/rapists/gunman in a given incident;
2) When it comes to possibly preventing SCHOOL MASSACRES, by INSTANTLY notifying teachers and other school employees( as well as the authorities) that a gunman is on the premises, an 'add-on' feature could be co-ordinated with the locks on the class
room doors to automatically lock them when the teacher 'triggers' the alarm on his/her PSAS, thereby keeping the gunman from ever entering the classrooms;
3)In the event of a 'holdup' type situation, this system can be co-ordinated with various 'independent' alarms that mimic the sounds of police sirens, or even a 'synthetic' voice telling the perpetrator that he is completely surrounded. In certain situations, it can also be co-ordinated with door locks to lock the perpetrator in, and in other situations it might instantly turn off all the lights in certain areas. Should 'unique' situations/circumstances arise, compatable, 'custom-made' APPS can also be designed to be integrated with this PSAS as well!!
.
.
.
6)CELL PHONE 'APP':
.
Finally, a cell phone 'APP', that will allow someone--WHO IS EITHER TOO EMBARRASSED TO SAY ANYTHING IN PERSON, OR FOR SOME OTHER REASON IS UNABLE TO DISCREETLY LET THEM KNOW--to find out if someone who they have a secret desire/longing to get to know better, feels the same about them--all done WITH SUCH COMPLETE ANONYMITY that, not only will they never have to worry about anyone ever finding out about their secret desire, EVEN THE PERSON FOR WHOM THE 'POSTING' WAS MEANT WILL NEVER GET TO SEE IT unless they have also 'posted' THAT SAME DESIRE TO GET TO KNOW THAT PERSON BETTER, at which time THEY WILL BOTH BE NOTIFIED SIMULTANEOUSLY of their mutual desire to get to know each other better!!!!!!!!!
.
7)THE 'HI-TECH' WAY TO KEEP THE FAMILY TOGETHER FOREVER:
.
The premise for this business venture is still in it's infancy but has a lot of potential, although the travel industry won't like it as it will really cut into their business, but it will REVOLUTIONIZE the way families interact with each other..
.
Although there are several possible areas where this concept will work, I believe that the following one has the greatest potential. The basic idea is to use webcams, 'monitors' and 'skype' type technology to it's FULLEST by making it inexpensive enough to bring families together that are separated from each other by distance. This company will set up everything for those who either aren't computer 'savy' enough to do it themselves or simply don't want to take the time and effort to do it themselves.
.
Once the general public becomes aware of(making them aware will be a big part of this venture's success) the almost unbelievably fantastic possibilities that this audio/visual system can make a reality when it comes to keeping a family united/together despite the fact that great distances might 'physically' keep them apart, it will spread like wildfire around the world, making it possible to bring down both the purchase price and the operating costs to a price that even 'poor' families can afford at least one 'hook-up'!!!!!
.
Imagine an elderly father and mother living in Arizona who are to sick to travel to, see their son and daughter-in-law and their 3 children who live in New York, who can't afford to travel to Arizona to see their elderly parents. This company sets up webcams and audio 'skype' speakers in both the dining room and the living room of both residences. When the video monitors are positioned properly in both dining rooms, the elderly parents can actually be at the table eating dinner with their family who are in New York!!! They can talk, listen and interact with each other about the days activities or anything else, just as if they were right there in the same room, with the only difference being that they will be 'live' on TV type monitors rather than in person.
.
After dinner they can all go to their, respective living rooms and watch TV together or actually play games with each other. Grandpa & Grandma can take their 'mobile' webcam outside and show-off their new car or the tree that they just planted in the front yard--the possibilities are endless!!!!! Although their will be many 'players' in this field, the company I envision will not overlook ANY POSSIBILITIES to make it the Leader!!!
.
Depending on how far you want to go with this venture, you could do this same thing with several homes if you want to 'connect' an entire big family with each other so that they can always be together on birthdays, holidays and the birth of new kids in the family!!!! THE POTENTIAL FOR THIS CONCEPT IS VIRTUALLY UNLIMITED!!!!!!!!
.
It will also be possible to have a 'set-up' so that they can be together if one or both families are away from their homes for an 'outing' that can't be 'skyped' from their homes such as a graduation ceremony or visiting a mutual friend in the hospital. It will be very important to make sure that potential customers are made aware that this system isn't something that will have to be 'set-up' each time they want to get together with far away friends/loved ones, but rather it will be a 'permanent' system that they only need to turn on in order to be 'in touch'.
.
There will be a lot of competition in this sector, but the company I envision will have it all together to the max and will BE THE ABSOLUTE BEST THERE IS!
.
12)BENEFITING FROM 'BOREDOM' via 'GAMIFICATION':
.
I HAVE NOTICED OVER THE LAST HALF CENTURY THAT PEOPLE LOVE GOING TO 'CARNIVAL' TYPE EVENTS WHERE THEY CAN EAT DIFFERENT 'SNACK. FOODS, PLAY 'ARCADE GAMES AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, RIDE THE VARIOUS 'CARNIVAL' TYPE RIDES THAT YOU SEE AT FAIRS AND OTHER LIKE TYPE EVENTS.
.
IF THE FOLLOWING FEW THINGS CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY DONE(AND THEY CAN)THEN THIS TYPE OF 'ENTERTAINMENT' TYPE CENTER CAN BE SET UP IN HUNDREDS OF CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND BE VERY SUCCESSFUL--THE KEY THING IS TO BRING THE COST OF A 'OUTING' DOWN TO WHERE THE AVERAGE PERSON/FAMILY CAN EASILY AFFORD TO GO SEVERAL TIMES A MONTH BY USING THE LATEST IN TECHNOLOGY AND USING INNOVATIVE 'OUT-OF-THE-BOX' TYPE THINKING TO BRING FOOD/BEVERAGE PRICES DOWN, AND THEN BY TIMING/AUTOMATING BOTH THE ARCADE GAMES AND THE RIDES TO THE MAX SO THAT THE PUBLIC CAN GET LONGER PLAY AND RIDE TIMES(WHICH SHOULD BE DESIGNED SO THAT ONE PERSON CAN OPERATE 2 OR 3 GAMES/RIDES AT A TIME).
.
THESE 'AMUSEMENT ENTERS' CAN BE BUILT TO FIT INTO ANY NEIGHBORHOOD "DECOR", IN A RELATIVELY SMALL AREA(about the size of your average Wal-Mart), AND COVERED SO THAT THEY CAN BE USED IN ALL TYPES OF WEATHER. BY 'COMBINING/INTEGRATING' TOGETHER THE 'THRILL' OF SEVERAL KEY RIDES, YOU CAN SAVE A LOT OF SPACE WITHOUT SACRIFICING ANY OF THE 'THRILLS' OF ANY OF THE RIDES.
.
13)EMPLOYEE 'SUGGESTION BOX':
.
I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT WITH THE PROPER "INCENTIVE" THE
AMERICAN WORKER COULD, IN LESS THAN A GENERATION, REVOLUTIONIZE THE EFFICIENCY/PROFICIENCY IN ALL SECTORS OF EVERY INDUSTRY IN THE COUNTRY. I PROPOSE A COMPANY THAT DESIGNS/FORMULATES A COMPREHENSIVE 'EMPLOYEE SUGGESTION BOX' TYPE OF PROGRAM BASED ON THE BASIC CONCEPT/PREMISE OF REWARDING EMPLOYEES WHOSE 'IDEAS' ARE EVENTUALLY ACCEPTED FOR IMPLEMENTATION WITHIN THEIR COMPANY, with a reasonable/respectable amount of the money that it saves/makes their company over a reasonable amount of time(possibly a year or a decade).
.
THIS COMPANY OFFERS TO CREATE AND IMPLEMENT THIS PROGRAM AND RUN/MANAGE IT FOR COMPANIES OF EVERY KIND ALL ACROSS THIS COUNTRY FOR A FEE &/OR FOR A PERCENTAGE OF THE AMOUNT OF MONEY SAVED/MADE BY IMPLEMENTED 'IDEAS'.
.
It will be, of course, be necessary for this 'start up' to be able to devise an acceptable 'formula/algorithm' that is capable of adequately determining how much the vast array of 'ideas' that they will have to evaluate will make &/or save the equally vast array of companies that they are going to be dealing with--BUT I BELIEVE THAT IT WILL ALL BE WORTH THE TIME, EFFORT & MONEY THAT IT WILL TAKE TO MAKE THIS 'START UP' A SUCCESS!!! .
.
14)THE SCARIEST, MOST FRIGHTENING MOVIE OF ALL TIME:
.
As a fan of 'horror' movies I am constantly amazed that somebody actually invested money to make them as they are actually that bad. I have seen hundreds of horror movies in my life and none of them have been 'emmy'/pulitzer prize winners as far as story line/script/screenplay is concerned. But that's okay because the very nature of 'horror' movies releases them from having any mandates/obligations in this regard. However, being thus exempted,the story line/script/screenplay for most of these movies, EVEN BY MEDIOCRE STANDARDS, are sad, sorry and pitiful examples of cinematic artistry.
.
Most horror movies that run approximately 90 minutes or so in length have about 20 to 30 minutes of actual 'frightening' material in them. If your average romance, action or comedy movie didn't have any more romance, action or comedy in them than your average 'horror' movie has 'scare' in it, they would be sued for false advertising!!
.
To add insult to injury, most of the little bit of 'scare' that most horror movies do have is in the form that is, unfortunately, becoming all to commonplace in horror movies these days:a dull, mindless and unimaginative slime/guts/gore and graphic violence type of 'sensationalism', that is in my opinion nothing more than a cheap, inexpensive, prideless and talentless way of filling up time so that the movie is the obligatory 90 minutes or so in length. In other words, because they can't come up with the 'real deal' in the way of an actually scary 'horror' movie, they simply make up a 'trailer' of the scary parts of the movie and advertise the hell of it, not really caring if it contained the honest to goodness scare/horror/terror that the public payed their hard earned money for and were hoping to experience.
.
Taking all of the above into consideration, using a 'subliminal' premise/concept/technique that has worked well for many industries other than the movie industry, I have 'devised' the tentative 'outline' for what will be, without a doubt, THE SCARIEST, MOST FRIGHTENING series of 'sequel' horror movies of all time. Each one will be a two hour unforgetable journey, from beginning to end, into the supernatural world of pure, unadulterated STARK TERROR, with more heart pounding and unrelenting suspense than any horror movie that has ever gone before them. At some time during the course of this sequel of movies, every demon, goul, creature, monster or satanic being that has ever been conjured up in the minds, dreams, imaginations or nightmares of people down thru the ages in fiction, fantasy, folklore, legend, print or cinema, will be resurrected from the depths of a fiery hell to unleash two hour segments of unholy terror on the movie going public.
.
The marketing 'gimmick' that I have in mind for the advertising campaign to promote these movies is the perfect 'vehicle' to insure that they are an unprecedented success. If handled correctly, because of it's novel/original concept(which to my knowledge has never been utilized in this form anywhere else before), it will not only be absolutely devastating in successfully completing it's 'prime directive' of luring tens of millions of people to the theater to see these movies, but it is also so powerful in it's premise that it would be well within it's ability to catapult even a mediocre movie into one of the biggest grossing of all time!!
.
15)A GUARANTEED METHOD FOR PICKING/WRITING A HIT
RECORD:
.
After analyzing pop, rock and country songs for many years to see if the 'hit' records in these 3 fields of music shared a common 'bond' that might contribute to their success, I made a very profound discovery indeed, which I refer too as(for lack of a better term) my 'ORG theory'.
.
Although there is no exact definition of an 'ORG', it can best be described as any mix/blend/combination of words/music/beat/rhythm/tempo/ harmony/arrangement/story line which produce musical 'sounds' that are compelling/captivating/ addictive enough in the nature of their allure/appeal that they are capable of 'inducing' a sense of 'pleasure' in the majority of those people who hear them.
.
My 'ORG theory' can best be compared, in basic concept/premise, to the analogy that 'all dogs are 4 legged animals, but not all 4 legged animals are dogs': 'all 'hit' recordings don't contain 'ORGS' but all recordings that contain 'ORGS' are 'hit' recordings'.
.
It is my intention to map the DNA of dozens of 'elements' comprising the 'genome' of thousands of 'hit' recordings from the past in an effort to come up with the proper 'DNA sequencing algorithm' to 'automate' the process of selecting these 'ORGS'(that presently can only be done by me) to enhance it's potential value a thousand fold, by NOT making it's ability to 'function' solely dependent on the unique ability of a single human being with a finite lifespan. This will be done by the creation of an EXTREMELY VALUABLE 'algorithm' that will 'automate' my present 'method'(with a 95 % success rate) of predicting the chances of recordings in the top music 'genres' to become 'hits', by utilizing a form of 'genome sequencing' to 'reverse engineer' and isolate the major elements/'components' that are COMMON to thousands of hit recordings in the top music 'genres' from the past.
.
The logical ultimate use of these 'ORGS' is to compose recordings that contain them, thereby guaranteeing their success(they must be, of course, promoted in the usual way)but the last 7 decades have left us with a legacy just overflowing with recordings that have captured the 'ORG' sound to the fullest extent, which have the potential to be 'hits' all over again, many of which will require modified/updated /adjusted lyrics/'story line'/arrangement.
.
16)When I first read about 'CROWD FUNDING several year ago(referred to in this 'description', from here on in as simply 'CF'), I said to myself(and even posted it on a few different 'discussion boards')something that I still stand by today: "When 'EQUITY CROWD FUNDING' becomes legal, it will eventually become THE BIGGEST SOURCE OF 'START UP' AND BUSINESS EXPANSION CAPITAL IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!!!"
.
I have been following 'CROWD FUNDING' pretty close since it's inception a few years ago, and I have even promoted 3 of my own CF campaigns, WHICH WERE ALL COMPLETE FAILURES, and the one thing I learned when creating and running/managing those 3 'CF' campaigns of mine is that CREATING AND MANAGING A 'CF' CAMPAIGN IS A FULL TIME JOB in itself that requires a good deal of various 'social' type skills/knowledge that your average person simply doesn't have--AND WHICH MOST OF THOSE CROWDFUNDING A 'PROJECT' simply don't have the time &/or other 'resources' to learn.!!!!
.
I have seen a lot of 'CF' campaigns that were trying to raise money for a good cause, product or service, but for whatever unknown reasons, failed anyway--there is no logical reason that they shouldn't have been a lot more successful than they turned out to be, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT MUCH LESS 'QUALIFIED' PROJECTS ended up making several times what their 'target' amount was.
.
When the SEC finally finalizes all of the rules and regulations of 'EQUITY CROWD FUNDING', in addition to all of the 'donation', and 'reward' type ones that are operating now, there are going to be a swarm of new 'EQUITY' CF 'management' websites offering there 'services' to all of those influx of new entrepreneurs that are going to be wanting to sell equity in their various 'start up' ventures, and therefore they will need someone to run their ENTIRE 'crowd funding' campaign for them.
.
The need for this kind of CF 'service' is especially needed in these cases when a 'start up' type of venture is involved. Most of the influx of the new entrepreneurs who will be seeking funding for their own particular product/service/technology business's are going to be rather naive/inexperienced individuals with no intention of making entrepreneurship their life's work by becoming 'serial' entrepreneurs, and are going be content to be 'one hit wonders' by making a big success out of their own particular venture, and so really don't need to take the extra time and effort away from concentrating solely on their core venture by learning things that they may never even need to use more than once.
.
If you want to be able to continually grow your business(rather than having them going to one of your many competitors), you are going to have to offer them SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN'T GET ANYWHERE ELSE--and although you are taking a 'calculated' risk by using the following 'business model', in the end, because if it's obvious appeal, I believe that you will come out way ahead if you do it right..
.
Although I know a little bit about what needs to be done in order to make these 'ideas' a success as a 'CF campaign', I don't have the necessary 'expertise' to do it THE RIGHT WAY myself, and don't have the money to pay one of the ever growing number of 'CF managers' to do it for me, AND BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE A LOT MORE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT FEEL THE SAME WAY THAT I DO, I came up with the following 'idea' for a new type of 'CF' website(or an 'addition' to an existing one) that might well end up becoming a 'new/better way' of 'CF' SOME kinds of projects!!!
.
Although most people don't have the 'upfront' money to pay a 'CF manager' to create and run a CF 'campaign' for them(as is the case with me)they could pay them possibly even more money than they presently charge as their normal 'fee' for creating and running/'managing' one, if they would simply agree to getting paid at the end of the campaign and have their 'fee' BASED ON A PERCENTAGE OF HOW MUCH MONEY THE CF CAMPAIGN TURNS OUT RAISING(in return for making this concession, they will charge 2 or 3 times more money than the other 'normal' 'CF' managers/websites do)!!!
.
In order for this idea to work for 'donation', 'contribution' and 'equity' 'CF', it would have to be on 'CF' platforms that allow 'flexible' campaigns where you get to keep all of the money you raise during the CF 'campaign'(even if you don't reach your 'target' amount)--this way the 'campaign manager' who has agreed to create and 'manage' the CF campaign for a certain amount of money(or for a percentage of the total amount of money raised--which is to be taken out of whatever funds are raised at the end of the 'CF' campaign and AFTER THE 'CF' platform gets their share) will virtually be guaranteed to get something for their efforts.
.
By doing it this way YOU WILL HAVE A BIG INCENTIVE TO MAKE IT AS SUCCESSFUL AS POSSIBLE(and realizing that you don't get paid unless a 'CF' campaign is SUCCESSFUL, will be a very positive 'selling' point that will not be lost on perspective customers)--AND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE YOU MIGHT JUST GET 10-15% OF A CF CAMPAIGN THAT RAISES A MILLION DOLLARS OR MORE!!!!!!
.
I believe that, in the end, IF DONE RIGHT, you have the potential to make a lot more money creating/managing 'CROWD FUNDING' campaigns by doing it this way than by charging a fixed amount--it doesn't take getting 10-20% of the CF campaigns that raise 50 thousand dollars or more, in order for you to make a nice profit. Also, by doing it this way(WHICH, ONCE AGAIN, WILL BE A BIG SELLING POINT FOR POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS TO CHOOSE YOUR 'SERVICES' INSTEAD OF YOUR MANY COMPETITORS), I believe that you will end up getting a lot more customers who will keep coming back to your website(and telling their friends about it) whenever they want to 'CF' something!!!
.
17)Several years ago I noticed how many people played the state lottery $1.00 'scratch off' game, and it only took them a minute or so in order to determine if they won or lost. It didn't seem quite fair to me that for a dollar they only got such a small amount of time to enjoy the fun/thrill/excitement(or whatever other type of 'feelings' that people get from engaging in this form of gambling). It was for this reason that I came up with a handheld game(this was before cell phone 'APPS'even existed)that would give it's players the same basic gambling 'game' for about 10 cents.
.
Unfortunately, at that time the gambling 'laws' made the implementation of this 'game' impossible. A lot of the gambling 'laws' have changed in the last few years, but even if it becomes necessary to 'headquarter' it offshore somewhere, this venture can be a very profitable one--even by giving those that play this game TEN TIMES A BETTER DEAL than they can get from any of the state lotteries in this country!!!!!
.
18)AN 'EQUITY CROWD FUNDING' WEBSITE:
.
THE FOLLOWING PROPOSED 'EQUITY' 'CROWD FUNDING' WEBSITE/PLATFORM ISN'T DEFINITIVE AS YET AS FAR AS THE EXACT DETAILS OF HOW IT'S VARIOUS 'FUNCTIONS WILL WORK, BUT THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION WILL GIVE YOU AN IDEA AS TO WHY AND HOW I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE 'CONSTRUCTED':
.
When the SEC finally finalizes all of the rules and regulations regarding 'EQUITY CROWD FUNDING'), in addition to all of the 'donation', and 'reward' type of 'CF' websites/platforms that are operating now, there are going to be a swarm of new 'EQUITY' CROWD FUNDING type websites offering there 'services' to all of those influx of new entrepreneurs that are going to be wanting to sell equity in their various 'start up' ventures.
.
MOST of these new entrepreneurs who will be seeking funding for their own particular product/service/technology business's are going to be rather naive/inexperienced individuals who don't have much, if any, experience in either starting or running a business enterprise--but feel to the very depths of their of their hearts, minds, bodies AND 'souls' that their 'idea' may indeed be 'THE NEXT BIG THING'!!!
.
IF THEY CAN BE MADE TO DEFINITIVELY UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FOLLOWING FACT, then this CF website has the real potential of being a huge success, AS IT WILL DEFINITIVELY PROVE TO THEM THAT THEY ARE GOING TO NEED AS MUCH HELP AS THEY CAN POSSIBLY GET IF THEY WANT THEIR VENTURE TO BE A SUCCESS--and that they must therefore be willing to relinquish a reasonable amount of 'equity' in it in order to give it the best chance to become successful. IF I CAN PARAPHRASE an 'old saying':"ANY AMOUNT of equity in a successfully operating business, is BETTER than ALL of the equity in a 'defunct'/non-existent one!!!!"
.
For as long as records have been kept in regard to the percentage of 'start ups' that end up being what is considered 'SUCCESSFUL', year in and year out, only about 10% of them make the grade--and this goes for those that have both tens of millions of dollars invested in them, and are headed by 'teams' that are meticulously 'vetted' for competency by those 'experts' who put up those millions!!!
.
It doesn't take a 'rocket scientist' to understand the various implications of just what this above fact/statistic means when it comes to the various 'obstacles' that they will have to face in order to have any reasonable chance to be successful with their 'start up' ventures--I mean how much of a chance do they really have at being successful with no expertise/experience, when 'the best' ventures that are headed by fully qualified 'teams' and which are backed by millions of dollars of investment capital can't even be successful more than 10% of the time???
.
THIS WEBSITE WILL BE FOR ANYONE WHO HAS AN 'IDEA' FOR A NEW PRODUCT, INVENTION OR SERVICE TYPE BUSINESS OF SOME KIND, AND REALIZE THAT THEY CAN'T MAKE IT A SUCCESS ON THEIR OWN, AND ARE WILLING TO GIVE UP A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF EQUITY IN IT TO ANYONE WHO SHARES THEIR VISION AS TO IT'S POTENTIAL SUCCESS, BY BEING WILLING TO PUT THEIR TIME, EFFORT & MONEY INTO HELPING IT REACH THAT POTENTIAL!!!!
.
THE THING THAT WILL BE UNIQUE ABOUT THIS CF WEBSITE IS THAT ALL 'IDEAS' CAN RANGE FROM BEING JUST AN 'IDEA', RIGHT ON THROUGH TO A COMPLETE 'PROTOTYPE', OR EVEN A FULL FLEDGED OPERATING VENTURE--AND CAN BE A 'BRICK-AND-MORTAR' ONE, AS WELL AS ANY TYPE OF 'CYBER' TYPE ONE!!!
.
HAVING SAID THE ABOVE, THIS WEBSITE WILL TRY TO DO WHAT TO MY KNOWLEDGE, NO OTHER ONE HAS EVER EVEN THOUGHT OF &/OR BELIEVED WAS POSSIBLE(AND EVEN SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE), AND THAT IS THE FOLLOWING:
.
LETTING HUNDREDS, THOUSANDS, OR POSSIBLY EVEN MILLIONS OF PEOPLE(WITH NO MANDATORY
'EXPERIENCE' NECESSARY) INVEST IN &/OR BECOME 'PARTNERS/CO-FOUNDERS' IN A VENTURE THAT HAS BEEN POSTED ON THIS CF WEBSITE/PLATFORM(ONE THAT THEY FEEL HAS POTENTIAL AND WHICH THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE A PART OF)AND THUS HAVE A SAY &/OR PART IN 'BUILDING' THE VENTURE INTO A SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISE!!!
.
ALTHOUGH THERE ARE A LOT OF 'NAYSAYERS' OUT THERE THAT CONTEND THAT A 'START UP' CAN'T BE SUCCESSFUL, WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING A SAY IN HOW THINGS WILL BE DONE, AS WELL AS THE DIFFICULTY IN GETTING FURTHER INVESTMENT CAPITAL WITH SO MANY 'INVESTORS' INVOLVED, I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT IF EVERYTHING/ALL POSSIBILITIES/SCENARIOS ARE THOROUGHLY CONSIDERED/ANALYZED WHEN 'ITEMIZING' THE 'RIGHTS' OF EVERYONE INVOLVED IN A GIVEN VENTURE, THAT HAVING EVEN MILLIONS OF 'INVESTORS'/'PARTNERS'/'CO-FOUNDERS' IN IT CAN BE FAIRLY & SUCCESSFULLY DEALT WITH!!!!
.
IF IT IS POSSIBLE, AS I CONTEND THAT IT IS, TO WORK ALL OF THE 'KINKS' OUT OF BEING ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY INVOLVE POTENTIALLY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN A 'START UP' VENTURE, AS ALLUDED TO ABOVE, IMAGINE THE 'EXPOSURE' IT MIGHT GET WHEN IT COMES TO SOLICITING NEW INVESTORS/'PARTNERS'/'CO-FOUNDERS' FOR IT, WITH EACH NEW 'MEMBER' PROMOTING IT ON THEIR VARIOUS 'SOCIAL SITES', AND DOING WHATEVER ELSE THEY MIGHT THINK OF TO GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT IT 'INVESTING' IN IT!!!!!
.
ONCE AGAIN, THIS PROPOSED WEBSITE/PLATFORM ISN'T DEFINITIVE AS YET AS FAR AS THE EXACT DETAILS OF EXACTLY HOW IT WILL ALL 'FUNCTION', BUT HERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT MUST BE ABSOLUTELY DEFINITIVE IN EXACTLY WHAT THEY SAY:
.
1)When a 'start up' is posted on this CF website, the 'founder(s)' must decide how much 'equity' they are willing to give up in order to give this venture the maximum chance to be successful. Once this has been established, then everyone who invests in it will get an amount of equity in it in either of two ways(or possibly more ways if you can think of them):
.
1)relative to what their investment amount is to BOTH the total amount of money that has been invested WHEN THE CAMPAIGN TIME HAS ENDED, and the amount of equity relinquished by the 'founder(s)'.
.
2)relative to an exact number of 'shares' that are to be issued for the amount of 'equity' relinquished' by the 'founder(s)'.
.
2)Obviously, even as 'liberal' as I am when it comes to the value of "the wisdom of the crowds", in order for a business to be successful, IT CAN'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE running it's day to day operations(this is especially true in the case of 'brick & mortar' ventures),
.
so in order to 'assemble' the 'team' who will be running those day to day operations, ALL of the 'investors'/'partners/co-founders' who care to will be allowed to submit their 'resumes' on the venture's website, which will then be voted on by ALL OF THEM.
.
4)IT MUST ALSO BE DETERMINED EXACTLY what all of the other 'investor'/'partner'/'co-founder' 'rights' will be in regard to how and what all of those who 'participate' in this campaign will be allowed to contribute to the venture, as far as voting and contributing ideas/advice/critizism is concerned.
.
3)Also when deciding exactly what each 'investor/partner/co-founder's' role/rights are in a given venture, it must be factored in that the venture in question might well be subjected too several 'series' of investment 'rounds' &/or 'mergers or 'buyouts'--all of which will no doubt bring into question how the current 'investors/partners/co-founders' role/rights may be affected/'diluted'(all of which must be precisely calculated ahead of time, so that there will be no doubt in anyone's mind who 'participates' in this venture in any way, shape, manner or form, EXACTLY WHERE THEY STAND relative to all of their 'rights' in all aspects of it.
.
In the end, based on the above alluded too statistic, most of the proposed 'start up' ventures that are posted on this website are never going to be successful in the 'marketplace', but JUST BEING ABLE TO KNOW THAT FACT, ALTHOUGH IT WILL OBVIOUSLY BE VERY DISAPPOINTING, WILL GIVE IT'S 'FOUNDER(S)' AN ELEMENT OF 'CLOSURE'/'PEACE OF MIND' KNOWING THAT, AT LEAST, IT WAS GIVEN THE ABSOLUTE FAIREST OF CHANCES BY BEING PUT OUT THERE FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE IF IT WAS SOMETHING THAT THEY WOULD WANT &/OR BE WILLING TO PAY FOR!!!!!
.
19)THE POSSIBLE 'NEXT BIG THING' IN THE ENTIRE RETAIL SECTOR OF THE WORLD ECONOMY!!!!
.
I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED that the basic premise upon which most 'chain letters', 'pyramid schemes' and 'multi-level marketing' type ventures are based on is an EXTREMELY POWERFUL concept--but they are all unsustainable ventures in that their entire success is based on the illegal/immoral process of enrolling for a 'fee', more and more people into a 'scheme' that has nothing of real value to offer, and which will consequently end up falling apart when there aren't enough 'new' members paying 'fees' to keep the whole thing together.
.
I have also always believed that if someone had something of a 'real/moral/'legal' and honest value' to base a business on that would be conducive to utilizing and capitalizing on all of the 'positive attributes' of the above 'pyramid' principle, that they would really be onto something with a lot of potential.
.
As I thought more and more about the 'anemic' global economy and unemployment being in the sad shape that it's in, it came to me that not only would most people like to save money on all of their purchases, and also have access to some kind of an extra 'revenue stream' to make some extra money, but there were also a lot of people out there with pent up entrepreneurial 'talent' who just needed the proper 'venue' to be able to 'showcase those talents' in order to be able to use them to make a decent living.
.
It was while I was thinking about all of the things alluded to above that I had an EUREKA/ 'ah-ha' moment with regard to the following possible 'start up' venture. After over half a century it hit me as to the perfect 'product'/venue that would be perfectly conducive to the 'pyramid' principle alluded to above--one which I don't think that you could find anything of anymore of a 'legal/moral and honest value' to base a business on THAN VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE RETAIL SECTOR OF OUR COUNTRY'S(and possibly even the worlds!!!)ECONOMY!!!
.
THE BASIC CONCEPT/PREMISE of the web based 'start up' that I am talking about will benefit the following 3 sectors:
.
1) those individuals who want to SAVE MONEY on all of their purchases(by taking part in participating companies 'customer loyalty' programs that have been created exclusively for those who choose to become a part of this 'venture').
.
2)those who want to make extra money IN SEVERAL WAYS by becoming associated with this venture.
.
3)for businesses of virtually every kind who want to increase their customer base by creating unique/novel 'CUSTOMER LOYALTY PROGRAMS' strictly for those associated with this 'venture'.
.
If I am not missing/overlooking something, this 'idea' has virtually unlimited potential as it will work as good for 'online' businesses as well as 'brick-and-mortar' ones--The number of individual and company 'dues paying' members could well be in the tens of millions just in this country alone, and in the hundreds of millions if it would work globally!!! Because nothing else quite like the premise of this 'start up' exists anywhere else, if there aren't any 'fallacies' or unresolveable issues related to this venture that I have overlooked, it may just be THE NEXT BIG THING in the entire retail sector of this country, and possibly even the whole world!!!!
.
11)THE INTERNET IS GROWING MUCH FASTER THAN IT'S PROPER ORGANIZATION IS, AND THERE IS REALLY NO EXCUSE FOR IT AS THERE ARE SO MANY EASILY DEVISED WAYS AND MEANS TO MAKE IT SO MUCH EASIER/FASTER/BETTER!!!! The listing/organizing of ALL BLOGS/WEBSITES ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB according to their particular 'genre' is a classic example. I don't know why it hasn't already been done(especially given how easily it would be to do so), but there is a big void existing on the WORLD WIDE WEB in the form of there not being a way to be able to easily/quickly find every blog/website that exists on the WORLD WIDE WEB, according to their particular category/classification/genre/'subject'/etc., etc.!!!!
.
12)There are a couple of relatively new 'start ups' based on the premise/concept of being able to 'transfer' smaller amounts of money(even a few cents, I believe)via the internet at virtually NO COST to the sender.!!!! If these 'startups' are successful in the major goal of what their 'business model' calls for, IT WILL OPEN UP THE DOORS TO A LOT OF POTENTIALLY PROFITABLE 'START UP' VENTURES!!!!
.
10)ADVERTISING, in it's many direct, indirect and 'ripple-down' forms & guises, is one of the biggest segments of our financial economy, AND IN THE END, it is basically nothing more than just letting the public know of a companies existence/'greatness', AND HOPING THAT THEY WILL BUY FROM THEM. If the above is true, then WHAT IF the public were allowed to VIEW various printed &/or video advertisements from countless companies/'venues'(and answer a few questions to insure that they really watched them), AND THEN, FOR EVERY GIVEN SEGMENT OF VIEWING TIME, they were awarded a 'unit' of time, which could then be used as a form of 'currency' to be 'traded' for money, &/or to pay certain kinds of bills--they might also be awarded a certain number of these viewing 'units' for forwarding a certain number of these video advertisements to 'friends' & family'??
.
11)THE INTERNET IS GROWING MUCH FASTER THAN IT'S PROPER ORGANIZATION IS, AND THERE IS REALLY NO EXCUSE FOR IT AS THERE ARE SO MANY EASILY DEVISED WAYS AND MEANS TO MAKE IT SO MUCH EASIER/FASTER/BETTER!!!! The listing/organizing of ALL BLOGS/WEBSITES ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB according to their particular 'genre' is a classic example. I don't know why it hasn't already been done(especially given how easily it would be to do so), but there is a big void existing on the WORLD WIDE WEB in the form of there not being a way to be able to easily/quickly find every blog/website that exists on the WORLD WIDE WEB, according to their particular category/classification/genre/'subject'/etc., etc.!!!!
.
12)There are a couple of relatively new 'start ups' based on the premise/concept of being able to 'transfer' smaller amounts of money(even a few cents, I believe)via the internet at virtually NO COST to the sender.!!!! If these 'startups' are successful in the major goal of what their 'business model' calls for, IT WILL OPEN UP THE DOORS TO A LOT OF POTENTIALLY PROFITABLE 'START UP' VENTURES!!!!
.
13)AFTER A HALF CENTURY OF OBSERVATION COMBINED WITH WHAT I SEE HAPPENING WITH THE CURRENT ECONOMIC/EMPLOYMENT SITUATION, I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE MANY PROFITABLE OPPORTUNITIES STARTING UP NEW 'BUSINESS MODELS' WITHIN THE FOLLOWING LONG ESTABLISHED BUSINESS SECTORS, BASED ON THE THE CONCEPT/PREMISE OF UTILIZING PART TIME/FULL TIME/'ON-CALL'/NO BENEFITS TYPE WORKERS---THE NEW "SHARING ECONOMY" if you will:
.
1)Using the basic premise/concept of the 'UBER' business model, I believe that the financial burden of several departments within the 'public sector'(such as the PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION & HEALTHCARE)can be lessened to enough of a significant degree to peek even the interest of those at the top who are in charge of these departments!!!
2)WITH THE PROPERLY DESIGNED 'DEVICE' ANY PERSONAL VEHICLE CAN BE MADE INTO A 'TOW TRUCK', WHICH WITH THE PROPER UTILIZATION/CO-ORDINATION OF 'ON-CALL' EMPLOYEES CAN FORM THE FOUNDATION OF A 'DISCOUNT' TOW SERVICE.
3)WITH THE PROPERLY DESIGNED TRAILER A PERSONS PERSONAL VEHICLE CAN BE MADE INTO A '16 WHEELER' FOR THE LOCAL/LONG HAUL DELIVERY OF RELATIVELY LIGHT WEIGHT MERCHANDISE, THEREBY PROVIDING, AMONG OTHER THINGS, both jobs for those who like the 'driving' lifestyle, as well as substantial savings for those moving their qualified 'goods' via the trucking route.
4)THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF INDEPENDENTLY OWNED AND OPERATED SINGLE UNIT BUSINESS'S IN THE FOLLOWING FEW CONSUMER RELATED INDUSTRIES THAT ARE BASICALLY 'FRAGMENTED' AND HAVE CHANGED THE WAY THEY DO BUSINESS VERY LITTLE IN THE PAST SEVERAL DECADES. THESE SECTORS ARE :BARBER SHOPS--RE-SALE SHOPS--PAWN SHOPS--'JUNK YARDS'--HOTELS/MOTELS--AUTO REPAIR PLACES.
CONCEPTS/PREMISE'S FOR RADIO/TV SHOWS:
.
The following concepts/premise's could have several variations and much consideration should be given to charging 'entry fees' as they could add a lot of revenue and possibly make a profit on their own:
21)a TV show almost EXACTLY like american idol but with ACTING as the basic structure rather than singing.
22)a TV show where people send in videos of themselves singing or acting and the winners will be voted on by the public, with 'appropriate' prizes awarded.
23)a TV show where aspiring 'song writers' send in videos of themselves(or someone of their choosing)singing songs that they have written.
24)a TV show where people pick from a list of companies who solicit TV commercials and then send in their videos of their 'version' of a given commercial. Possibly have a segment for RADIO commercials that won't work on film/video.
25)a TV show where people send in a 5 minute segment of themselves saying anything that they want to talk about.
26)I believe that there is a big market out there for a 'talk radio' type of program(possibly even a 24 hour format) where(possibly fee based?)people can have 5 un-interupted minutes to say whatever it is that they have to say--I have several ideas for variations on this premise.

MISCELLANEOUS STARTUP BUSINESS VENTURES:
.
.
.
THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF INDEPENDENTLY OWNED AND OPERATED SINGLE UNIT BUSINESS'S IN THE FOLLOWING 6 CONSUMER RELATED INDUSTRIES THAT ARE BASICALLY 'FRAGMENTED' AND HAVE CHANGED THE WAY THEY DO BUSINESS VERY LITTLE IN THE PAST SEVERAL DECADES. THERE IS A BIG OPPORTUNITY IN BRINGING THEM UP TO MODERN STANDARDS AND THEN BRINGING THEM UNDER THE 'UMBRELLA' OF A LARGE NATIONAL COMPANY WITH THE NECESSARY CAPITAL/CONTACTS/NAME RECOGNITION AND OTHER RELATED ATTRIBUTES THAT CAN HELP THEM INCREASE THEIR CUSTOMER BASE. THESE SECTORS ARE :BARBER
SHOPS/RE-SALE SHOPS/ PAWN
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A CHAIN OF RESALE TYPE STORES THAT LOOK LIKE REGULAR GENERAL MERCHANDISE STORES(IN ORDER TO TAKE AWAY THE 'STIGMA' THAT RESALE TYPE SHOPS HAVE WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE)WOULD GO OVER GOOD IN THIS ECONOMY. THEY WOULD GET THEIR MERCHANDISE FROM DONATIONS AS WELL AS PICKING USABLE THINGS ALONG PEOPLES CURBS AND PICKING UP THINGS THAT PEOPLE WANT TO THROW OUT.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A BLUE COLLAR 'DAY LABOR' AGENCY THAT PROVIDES IT'S 'WORKERS-IN-WAITING' A NICE CLEAN PLACE TO WAIT WITH A FEW INEXPENSIVE 'AMENITIES', AND THE ABILITY TO PAY THEM 2 OR 3 DOLLARS AN HOUR FOR WAITING(WHETHER OR NOT THEY GET CALLED)WHICH WILL BE TAKEN OUT OF FUTURE EARNINGS.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A WEBSITE WHERE FOR A REASONABLE DAILY/WEEKLY/MONTHLY FEE PEOPLE CAN POST THEIR PARTICULAR USER/OWNER GENERATED CONTENT, KNOWING THAT WHEN THE WORD GETS OUT ABOUT IT THERE WILL BE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WILL GO TO THIS WEBSITE FIRST (BEFORE JUST RANDOMLY SURFING FOR THE PARTICULAR CONTENT THAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR)TO SEE WHY THE OWNER OF THAT 'CONTENT' FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO PAY MONEY TO HAVE IT HEARD/SEEN.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A CHAIN OF BARBER SHOPS THAT CHARGED BY THE TIME RATHER THAN THE JOB.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE 'PAYDAY LOAN' SECTOR IS CHARGING EXHORBATENT RATES TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO CAN AFFORD TO PAY IT THE LEAST. I PROPOSE A NATIONWIDE CHAIN OF 'PAYDAY LOAN' STORES THAT CHARGES SUBSTANTIALLY LESS AND OFFERS THOSE WHO WANT OUT OF THEIR EXISTING LOANS THE CHANCE FOR US TO PAY IT OFF FOR THEM AT A MUCH SMALLER RATE.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AFTER A HALF CENTURY OF OBSERVATION COMBINED WITH WHAT I SEE HAPPENING WITH THE CURRENT ECONOMIC/EMPLOYMENT SITUATION, I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE MANY PROFITABLE OPPORTUNITIES STARTING UP NEW 'BUSINESS MODELS' WITHINS THE FOLLOWING LONG ESTABLISHED BUSINESS SECTORS, BASED ON THE THE CONCEPT/PREMISE OF UTILIZING PART TIME/FULL TIME/'ON-CALL'/NO BENEFITS TYPE WORKERS:
.
1)WITH THE PROPER UTILIZATION/CO-ORDINATION OF 'ON-CALL' EMPLOYEES USING THEIR OWN VEHICLES, A 'DISCOUNT' CAB COMPANY CAN BE PROFITABLY OPERATED.
.
2)WITH THE PROPERLY DESIGNED 'DEVICE' ANY PERSONAL VEHICLE CAN BE MADE INTO A 'TOW TRUCK', WHICH WITH THE PROPER UTILIZATION/CO-ORDINATION OF 'ON-CALL' EMPLOYEES CAN FORM THE FOUNDATION OF A'DISCOUNT' TOW SERVICE.
.
3)STARTING UP A LOCAL COURIOR/DELIVERY SERVICE USING THE PERSONAL VEHICLES OF THE EMPLOYEES THAT ARE 'RETRO-FITTED WITH THE PROPERLY DESIGNED EQUIPMENT &/OR TRAILER.
.
4)WITH THE PROPERLY DESIGNED TRAILER A PERSONS PERSONAL VEHICLE CAN BE MADE INTO A '16 WHEELER' FOR THE LOCAL/LONG HAUL DELIVERY OF RELATIVELY LIGHT WEIGHT MERCHANDISE, THEREBY GIVING, AMONG OTHERS, A HUSBAND AND WIFE THE CHANCE TO WORK TOGETHER.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
THE INTERNET IS GROWING MUCH FASTER THAN IT'S PROPER ORGANIZATION IS, AND THERE IS REALLY NO EXCUSE FOR IT AS THERE ARE SO MANY EASILY DEVISED WAYS AND MEANS TO MAKE IT A LOT FASTER AND EASIER TO FIND THINGS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BASED ON THE SAME BASIC CONCEPT/PREMISE OF MY 'ORG THEORY', I HAVE 'ISOLATED' SOMETHING(REFFERED TOO AS CINS)THAT WILL VIRTUALLY GUARANTEE THE SUCCESS OF MOVIES IN CERTAIN CLASSIFICATIONS. THESE 'CINS' ARE BASED ON THE REASON THAT IF AN ENTIRE MOVIE WAS AS GOOD AS THE 'TRAILERS' THAT ARE USED TO PROMOTE/ADVERTISE THEM, THEN THEY WOULD ALL BE BLOCKBUSTERS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BASED ON THE SAME CONCEPT/PRINCIPLE OF MY 'ORG THEORY', THERE ARE ALSO VISUAL 'ORGS' WHICH RELATE TO HUMAN FACIAL/BODY MOVEMENTS/EXPRESSIONS. IF PROPERLY 'CODIFIED' WITH THE NECESSARY 'ALGORITHM' THEY COULD BE VERY USE/VALUABLE IN 'SHORT' SUBJECTS SUCH AS, AMONG OTHER THINGS,COMMERCIALS AND MUSIC VIDEOS..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I HAVE LONG BEEN IN AWE OF THE MENTAL, PHYSICAL AND PSYCOLOGICAL MANIFISTATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VARIOUS MARTIAL ARTS FORMS. I BELIEVE THAT IF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES UPON WHICH THEY ARE BASED WERE PROPERLY 'ADJUSTED' SO THAT THEY COULD BE SUCCESSFULLY 'TRANSFERED' TO THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE SPORT OF BOXING, THAT THEY COULD PRODUCE CHAMPIONS IN ALL WEIGHT DIVISIONS LIKE NO OTHERS THAT HAVE EVER BEEN.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. POTENTIAL INVENTIONS:
.
.
1)a 'device' to aid those who for whatever reason have a hard time bending down far enough to put on their socks, so that they don't have to bend over at all!!
.
2)a 'device' to aid those who for whatever reason have a hard
time bending over far enough to take off their socks, so that they don't have to bend over at all!!
.
3)a 'device' to aid those who for whatever reason have a hard time reaching/washing various parts of their body while taking a shower, so that they can wash their whole body from the front--WITHOUT HAVING TO BEND OVER AT ALL!!
.
4)a 'device' to shield a persons face from the "pain' associated when walking on those cold, snowy, wintery days, so that you will never feel that
cold wind!!
.
5)a 'device' to help smokers from throwing away the unsmoked part of their cigarettes.
.
6)a 'device' that will be of use to those who like to bowl.
.
7)a small, simple, one piece 'device' made of strong 'extruded' plastic that has dozens of potential uses in stores, warehouses and anyplace that 'moves' any kind of merchandise on a regular basis.
.
8)a self-service 'device' that allows cats to get their own fresh running water--this is based on a
'phenomenon' that I have witnessed on many occasions with many different cats, which if further research proves it to be a 'common' trait among cats(and possibly even among dogs)will increase the value of this 'device' a hundred fold!!!
.
9)a 'power washer' that uses 'power air' as the main source of cleaning with various amounts of water 'merged' in with it for a variety of jobs/chores where water can't be used &/or would
be too messy.
.
10)alight weight 'device' about the size of a netbook to be used by those who have to sit in a seat/chair for long periods of time(long bus rides and plane flights for example)that can be used-without 'violating' anyone elses space-to serve as a platform to set/use your computer or read or write on, and then can quickly and easily be 'adjusted' to form a couple of relatively comfortable ways to take a nap on!!!
.
11)a host of new 'devices' and other pieces of equipment and equipment systems to
improve the speed, efficiency and productivity in the kitchens of all sectors of the food service industry.
.
12)a backyard device/game that mimics the 'sport' of log rolling.
.
13)a parachute that is big enough to be 'packed' by the owner and then shot out of a 10 foot high tube to gain altitude and then it can either float back to earth on it's own or be 'guided' via the use of wireless technology.
.
14)two equipment 'systems' that employ a novel/innovative way to keep score can give the 'backyard' versions of the olympic sports of boxing and fencing a significant resurgence in
interest/participation(I can envision local/regional/national 'tournamounts' in various age groups if promoted properly).
.
15)a small simple device about the size of a cigarette lighter for those who smoke and don't want to throw away a cigarette that is only half smoked if they don't have time to smoke it all at once--it has a 'clipper' on one side to cut off the end of the cigarette, and a 'storage ' compartment on the other end for putting the used cigarette in until they use it next time.
.
21)I don't know exactly how to proceed with the following 'start up' venture venture, but I feel that somewhere in it's basic premise is a promising 'start up'. I will give you a brief overall 'picture' of what the 'problem' is, and then, if you feel that it has promise, TOGETHER we can come up with the perfect 'business model' to insure it's success!!!
.
I believe that the following is a potentially very profitable venture that will also benefit the following three sectors of society:
.
1)those people who are participating in some type of 'outpatient' drug treatment.
.
2)those people who LEGITIMATELY need access to certain kinds of prescription drugs, but aren't able to get them because of the reluctance of many of those in the medical profession to prescribe them, due to their potential for 'ABUSE' by those who don't have a LEGITIMATE need for them!!!
.
3)LASTLY, this 'idea' holds the promise of alleviating a great deal of the national problem associated with the buying & selling of ABUSABLE prescription drugs!!
.
First of all, lets address those hundreds of thousands of people in every state in the union who are participating in some kind of an 'outpatient' drug program. The biggest 'outpatient' type drug program in our country is Methadone Detox, which are 'clinics'(both private and 'community' run) that dispense methadone(a cheap alternative/'synthetic' drug that those addicted to heroin take in it's place, so that they don't get 'dope sick')on a daily basis to hundreds of thousands of heroin 'addicted' people in virtually every state in the union!!!
.
The 'private' methadone clinics charge quite a bit more than 'community' operated ones do, but they are more lenient in their dosage amounts, and they don't require that their 'clients' attend daily/weekly 'group sessions' to discuss drug related issues(However, I believe that far too many of these 'private' clinics don't have their 'clients' best interests at heart, but, FOR MONETARY REASONS, are only interested in keeping them 'addicted' to methadone, as opposed to slowly 'detoxing' them, as was the original purpose of the 'methadone detox' program--but this is a discussion for another day).
.
The methadone clinics that are run by 'communities' don't charge very much to be a 'client'(virtually nothing compared to how much most of them spend on their daily heroin habits), but they are quite strict as far as making sure that their clients stay 'clean'--the hardest part about being on a methadone clinic program is the fact that those on it must come in EVERY DAY to get their 'dose' of methadone(except for Sunday when they are closed, at which time they are given a 'take home' dose), making it very difficult for a large percentage of them to get/hold a job, and many of them have to wake their kids up early every morning and take them along to the clinic(most methadone clinics only 'dose' for a few hours in the morning).
.
As far as those people out there who are in LEGITIMATE need of certain kinds of prescription drugs, but can't get them simply because many doctors are hesitant to prescribe any kind of ABUSABLE drugs for fear of the possibility of losing their medical license because of some kind of negativity coming back on them from the 'epidemic' of people out there who abuse them in a variety of ways from buying &/or selling them to others, or abusing them themselves.
.
The overall 'problem' in the above regard is:
.
1)a lot of people who need help in dealing with their heroin habits can't get it because they can't get to the methadone clinic 6 days a week(and until you have been there for several months, they won't give you a weeks supply at a time, for fear of you selling or taking more than one days dose at a time).
.
2)hundreds of thousands of honest, hard working people must live in varying degrees of pain &/or mental 'anguish' simply because their doctors are reluctant to prescribe them the prescription drugs that they LEGITIMATELY need to function in their daily lives, simply because there is an 'epidemic' of people out there abusing them.
.
3)Many people are getting addicted to prescription drugs because they are able to get them relatively' cheap off the street' from those who buy & sell them.
.
4)There are tens of thousands of people around the country who are able to 'fool' their doctors into prescribing them 'abusable' prescription drugs that they don't even need, and then are selling them to people 'on the street'.
.
My 'idea' to help solve this problem is to make it as difficult as possible for the type of prescription drugs that are prone to abuse, to be so easily available to those who don't have a 100% LEGITIMATE need for them--in order to do this, I propose designing a 'box' type recepticle with anywhere from 7 to 31 individual 'sections' in it, each with their own separate 'lockable' lid so that a person's weekly/monthly regimen of ABUSABLE PRESCRIPTION drugs CAN'T BE ACCESSED until the individual section containing their daily regimen is 'unlocked' by either some kind of 'electronic' means at some remote/central location, or by some kind of a preset 'timer' that will unlock it at a certain time.
.
As relatively simple as this 'device' is, if it is integrated with the proper 'dispensing' of a persons 'ABUSABLE' prescription drugs(or methadone, in the case of that 'detox' program), it has THE POTENTIAL to 'disrupt' the way 'ABUSABLE' prescription drugs are dispensed in this country!!!!
.
I believe that there is a way to address this problem that won't completely solve it, but it could well help out countless numbers of people in all of the above alluded to situations. There is also the possibility that this might end up being one of those 'start ups' that appear promising in theory, but, for various reasons, won't work in reality.
.
The main 'obstacle' that I feel may keep this 'idea' from seeing 'the light of day', is that you will need the permission &/or cooperation of several other related 'entities' in order for it to work--most of whom have some type of a vested interest in retaining the 'status quo', as it may otherwise endanger their job &/or lifestyle!!
.
.
THESE ARE A FEW OF THE EASIER AND LESS EXPENSIVE OF MY MANY 'INVENTIONS', AS WELL AS A FEW CONSUMER TYPE BUSINESS VENTURES:
.
.
Greetings, and welcome to my simple, 'no frills' website, where I hope that you will judge it not by the 'professionalism' of its makeup, but rather by the potential value/worth of its content. I would be eternally grateful to any of you who might be willing to take the time to email me at my personal web address(see above),with your opinion of the potential value/worth of the 'inventions' and other business ventures briefly described below(or at least the value/worth of the basic premise upon which each is based). I would also appreciate your opinion on my 'cure' for what ails America which is posted on the homepage of this website.
.
At the end of this list are the 'qualifications' that will qualify me to do my share in making everything mentioned on this website A SUCCESS!
.
Once again, thank you very much for your help.
.
.
.
All of the following business ventures are described in general terms, because except for certain areas of high tech, the basic concept/premise for any 'new idea' in any realm of human endeavor, can be explained fully enough IN ONE SINGLE PARAGRAPH so that anyone expert in that area(and more times than not, someone of even just average intelligence)will IMMEDIATELY have that EUREKA, AH-HAH MOMENT and fully understand exactly what it is that you have in mind(and possibly even be mad at themselves for not having thought of it long ago). In other words, if you provide the right person with nothing more than this ever so slight description of just the basic concept/premise of whatever it is that you have in mind, they now know EVERYTHING necessary to make it just as SUCCESSFUL as if they knew everything about it as you do--and consequently, they really don't need you anymore if they decide to go it alone.

.
.DISCOUNT CONVENIENCE STORES:
.
Have you ever been in a convenience store and asked yourself why the prices for
almost everything were so much higher than they are at the grocery store?
Perhaps you then asked yourself something like the following scenario:
.
Since the dawn of time human beings have been
'endowed' with a natural desire/instinct to want and seek out the lowest
possible prices whenever they shop for products and services(sales, deals and
bargains have been a 'staple' of the marketplace down through recorded
history--a factor, by the way, whose relevance is quite obviously still alive,
well and thriving in every single segment of todays marketplace as well)which
suddenly, for some magical reason, simply ceases to exist and becomes a complete
non-issue when the consumer walks through the doors of a convenience store to
shop, at which time cost consideration means absolutely nothing at all to them
and they are ready, willing and content to pay whatever price is posted without
ever giving it a second thought!!!
.
You may have wondered what 'magical' force could the convenience store industry have that would give it the power to completely nullify an ageless instinct that has existed in the
hearts of the human species since the dawn of time!!! Of course the answer is
that it doesn't have any such power, and a better explanation of this
'phenomenon' is that convenience store customers would love to pay lower prices
if they were provided the opportunity, but the convenience store industry has
done such a good job of convincing the public that convenience stores and low
prices can't go together, that they simply accept it as being that way--and up until
now nobody has challenged them on it, AND CONSEQUENTLY, THERE AREN'T ANY
DISCOUNT CONVENIENCE STORES ANYWHERE ON EARTH!!!
.
The only segment of the economy that has shown double digit growth for the last several years has been in the DISCOUNT sector of retail, and yet the convenience store business is the only retail sector of the economy that hasn't as yet gone DISCOUNT in some form or another,
as for whatever reason, ‘convenience store’ & ‘discount’ are just two
things that have never been associated with each other. It’s possible that
the main reason for this is that anyone who may have thought about it never
looked past the several daunting surface problems standing in the way of how one
might profit from selling convenience store products/services at discounted
prices. After working for the guy who owned the ‘prototype’ store from which I
got this idea for opening up a national/global chain of them, I was able to
successfully discern the reasons why conventional convenience stores
couldn’t sell for discounted prices and how these reasons might be
overcome.
.
When considering whether or not you believe that this
venture can be successfull, ask yourself the following question: If all other
things are equel(i.e.,service, cleanliness, parking, etc.) what percentage of
those people who frequent a convenience store at least 3 times a week, do you
believe would go an extra 3 or 4 blocks to save 2 dollars on a 10 dollar
purchase? If you said at least 25% would go that extra 3 blocks to save 2
dollars, then, whether you are aware of it or not, you believe that this venture
will be successful!!
.
A very wise proverb from antiquity succinctly says: "NO POWER ON EARTH CAN STOP AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME". Without exception, all of the current relevant economic indicators point to the fact that our society is on the verge of ushering in the birth of a
new GLOBAL ECONOMIC MODEL, whose direct, indirect and 'ripple-down' effects,
ramification, repurcussions, consequences and implications, will, by necessity,
mandate that the American people will have to make certain changes in their
current lifestyles, as well as make other concessions in areas of their lives
that, up till now, they have simply taken for granted. Having said that, never
in modern history have the TIME, OPPORTUNITY AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS ever
concurrently come together in such perfect alignment as to virtually guarantee
the success of starting up a nationwide chain of retail stores based on the
concept/premise of the one described on the website alluded too above. The
complete absence of a retail chain of stores like this one leaves a big empty
void in this segment of the retail market that can be successfully exploited by
someone with the wisdom and foresight to see it for the virtually unlimited
ground floor opportunity that it is.
.
Despite what you believe , &/or what the government is telling you, the economy of this country is
NEVER AGAIN going to be able to sustain any kind of long term growth, UNTIL
THOSE LEGIONS OF GREEDY/EMPTY-HEADED/CRY-BABY/SELF-CENTERED BUFOONS that we have elected to represent us in Washington begin to use logic/facts/truth/common
sense when devising and implementing the laws that affect all of us in every segment of our society!! Although the following business venture will be just as successful in a good economy, it sure doesn't hurt to have it's beinning in an economy that will virtually guarantee
its success.
.
Conservatively, there is a potential market worldwide
to support 30-50 thousand stores of this kind, with each doing in the vacinity
of 2 million dollars a year in gross sales, thereby making this a potentially
50-100 billion dollar a year business!!! Therefore, based on the 7 year success
of my friend’s store, as well as my own observations of the industry for those
years, it is my contention that there exists in this country, and possibly even
worldwide, a vast potential market in the retail sector of our economy for a
chain of NEIGHBORHOOD DISCOUNT CONVENIENCE / MINI-GROCERY STORES that sell
convenience store products & services, as well as a few dozen other key food
/ grocery items, at prices REASONABLY CHEAPER than they can be purchased
anywhere else.
.
It is also my firm belief that if we seize this
moment in time, where EVERY RELEVANT factor affecting it, both economic and
otherwise, are in such perfectly synchronized alignment, it is easily within the
realm of realistic possibility that this retail concept will appeal to a large
enough segment of the cost conscious consumer to generate the kind of volume
that will be necessary to successfully overcome its slim profit margin and allow
it to sustain the projected rate and extent of growth in order for it to
achieve, in less than a decade, the same kind of phenomenal success in its
sector of the retail marketplace that has taken WAL-MART 60 years to do in
theirs!!!
.
Having said the above, I believe in my heart, mind, body
and soul, that, with the PROPER LEADERSHIP, this chain of stores-which in the
light of our new GLOBAL ECONOMY- will be ones that the public WON'T BE ABLE TO
AFFORD NOT TO SHOP AT!!!!
.
1)The operation from which I
originally got the idea of opening a chain of full service convenience
stores- which would sell all of it's products/services at discounted prices-
operated profitably for 7 years until it was forced to close down due to a
bitter divorce between the husband and wife owners.
.
2)It is extremely
'low-tech'.
.
3)It is based strictly on proven
concepts/premises.
.
4)It can become profitable in as little as 3 or 4
months.
.
5)It has universal need/appeal.
.
6)It is highly
scalable.
.
7)It is relatively inexpensive to finance.
.
8)With the
dismal present economic situation(and no relief in sight)never has the time and
opportunity ever been more conducive for a chain of stores like
these.
.
9)Because of it's universal appeal,it will only be
necessary to open a handful of these stores in order to get a solid indication
of how successful they would be if expanded on a national/global
basis.
.
10)It fills a potential multi-billion dollar a year ignored/unmet
'niche' in it's sector of the marketplace whose basic concept/premise has
appearently eluded the best entrepreneurial minds in that sector,as a thorough
search of the internet confirms that THERE AREN'T ANY OTHER STORES LIKE IT ON
THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!!!!
.
11)Lastly,these stores are tailor made
to utilize the territoral method of franchising,which the early pioneers of
franchising utilized so effectively in the early 1950's,that they were able to
manage 1500 units with only a handful of executives in the home office!!! The
beauty of this method is that the franchisee not only pays a big upfront 'fee'
for his exclusive territory(city,county,state or multi-state territories),but he
also pays for all the costs to open and operate all of the units in his
territory!!!
.
It is extremely rare that a definitive determination
of the chances for SUCCESS of a business opportunity of this magnitude can be
decided for the relatively small amount of money that it will cost to determine
this one. Because the basic premise for this venture is one of universal
want/need/appeal it will only be necessary to open up a half dozen or so
units/stores to get a definitive idea on how others that might be opened will
fare. I read routinely about promising new business ventures without half the
potential of this one on which millions of dollars have been spent that, either
were ’flops’ or on which more money is still needed to determine if it will even
work much less whether or not any money can eventually be made on it!!! For a
few hundred thousand dollars (maybe even less), by using the less expensive of
the two ’business model’ methods associated with this venture (as opposed to the
more expensive one of remodeling acceptable new storefront locations) of
’partnering’ with a business owner of an already open/operating store who is
willing (for a mutually agreed upon percentage of the new business‘ ) to remodel
and operate his business to our specifications, you can get a reliable idea in a
few short months whether or not the concept/premise of this promising new
business venture has the kind of potential that I claim it does.
.
Once again, because this promising new business venture is offering a product/service
that has universal want/need/appeal you can be pretty certain that whatever
happens during the 6-8 month‘trial’ run with that store will be the same result
that you will get wherever you open one up. Because there is room for at least
20,000 stores nationally and another 30-50 thousand globally you can multiply
your profit / expenses for that 6-8 month trial period by this total number to
get a ’ball park’ figure of the yearly revenue potential of this promising new
business venture to help you decide if it is worth investing in

THE ULTIMATE PERSONAL PROTECTION ALARM SYSTEM
.
.
Almost every day off the year you read/hear literally dozens of stories in
the news about about robberies, rapes, kidnappings, personal attacks and
shootings of all kinds, making SECURITY something that I believe most people
would consider a very important area of not only their lives, but that of their
loved ones as well, and, consequently, will to do everything possible to make
them as safe as possible.
.
.
When you couple the dismal economic conditions that are plaguing not only the citizens of this country, but those of the rest of the world as well(with no relief in sight in the forseeable
future)with government's global 'push' to make it unlawful for anyone to carry a
personal firearm of any kind, NEVER HAS THE GLOBAL WANT/NEED FOR A DEPENDABLE,
HI-TECH PERSONAL SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM EVER BEEN MORE NECESSARY THAN IT IS TODAY!!
.
.
I have been watching for the last few years as more 'personal security' type systems are being
introduced, both in the form of cell phone 'apps' as well as 'pendants' worn around
the neck(mainly for the sick and elderly)which when 'pressed' in the case of an
emergency, they notify a call-center via 'wireless technology' that someone
needs help. For a 'system' like this to work properly, SPEED AND RELIABILITY are
key components that it must possess, and having to get to either your cell phone
in the event of an 'attack', or to the 'pendant' around your neck, a person
might not be able to get to them in time even as accessible as they obviously are.
.
.
My 'idea' in this regard(and the most important aspect/feature of this system--WHICH, FOR BREVITY, WILL BE FROM HERE ON IN REFERED TO AS SIMPLY PSAS) is to transfer the cell phone 'triggering' method/mechanism and the 'push-buttton' pendant technology to a
'system' that employs an alarm system that can be easily and quickly
triggered/activated by 'pushing' on a ring worn on the finger. For several
obvious reasons, in almost any projected situation, sounding the alarm for help
would be much more practical in every way by 'pushing' on a ring on your
finger(using the thumb on the same finger that the ring is on to push it) as
opposed to having to reach for your cell phone or push a pendant around your neck.
.
.
The 'heart' of this system will be a cell phone size 'device' that can be worn anywhere on the body(but I suggest wearing it on a belt in the 'small' of your back making it almost
impossible for a 'perpetrator' to take it off the owner). When 'accosted' be
someone, the owner simply pushes on the ring, which in almost every situation of
being attacked, because of the easily/quickly accessed 'ring' feature, the
'perpetrator' will find it virtually impossible to stop the owner from being
able to sound the alarm. Once the ring is 'pushed' it both sets off the
ABOLUTELY LOUDEST POSSIBLE SOUND that is possible to come up with using todays
'sound' technology, and it also notifies a 'call center' of some kind where GPS
technology can pinpoint the owners exact location. Once this loud alarm is set
off the 'perpetrator can't 'silence' it without tearing if completely apart(assuming he can find it and get it off the owner in the short time before help arrives)and he will also know that the authorities have already been summoned and are on the way.
.
.
In order for a product like this to actually become the ultimate in PERSONAL SECURITY ALARM SYSTEMS, it must be one which has been designed with enough dependable, hi-tech 'pro-active' type deterrent features that the person who purchases it can rest assured that they will seldom, if ever, even have to 'trigger' it's alarm because the kind of personal attacks and other sinister type encounters/confrontations that they purchased it to be 'protected' from won't even happen in the first place, as once any potential muggers/robbers/rapists learn about these 'pro-active' features, they will be so 'intimidated' by them that they will move on and,
unfortunately, prey on someone who isn't 'protected' by this security system!!!!!
.
.
Although THE PERSONAL SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM that I propose(which
doesn't require the use of any new or untried technology to be fully functional)
will be designed primarily for individual personal attack type situations,
because of it's 'modular' design it can be easily adapted for use in other
harrowing type situations, such as to summon help if your alone and in
distress, or if your possibly involved in a HOME INVASION, or in a BANK or
CONVENIENCE STORE ROBBERY, or it CAN ALSO POSSIBLY BE USED IN HELPING TO
PREVENT SCHOOL MASSACRES (as well as those in other places)where it will
INSTANTLY, via GPS technology, notify authorities of your exact location while
sounding the loudest alarm that is possible given existing modern day 'hi-tech'
sound technology.
.
.
Once again, because of it's 'modular' design, this product/system has
'applications' well beyond what the average person might ever want/need, and
will thus have some extra added 'features' that, depending
on the situation and/or the degree of protection that a company or organization
may want or the amount of money that they want to spend, can be easily 'added
on'!! Once the alarm has been 'triggered' on this PSAS, there can AUTOMATICALLY
be set into motion several possible 'senarios' as described below(which, once
again, when potential perpetrators learn of the existence of these
alarms/features, it will keep them from ever bothering any person or place that
is 'protected' by this system--one of whose 'pro-active' deterrent features, by
the way, will make them well aware of who is and who isn't being 'protected' by
this system!!!) :
.
.
1)with the addition of an audio/video 'app', this 'system' can also
possibly aide in actually identifing the robbers/rapists/gunman in a given
incident;2) When it comes to possibly preventing SCHOOL MASSACRES, by
INSTANTLY notifying teachers and other school employees( as well as the
authorities) that a gunman is on the premises, an 'add-on' feature could be
co-ordinated with the locks on the class room doors to automatically lock them
when the teacher 'triggers' the alarm on his/her PSAS, thereby keeping the
gunman from ever entering the classrooms;3)In the event of a 'holdup' type
situation, this system can be co-ordinated with various 'independent' alarms
that mimic the sounds of police sirens, or even a 'synthetic' voice telling the
perpetrator that he is completely surrounded. In certain situations, it can also
be co-ordinated with door locks to lock the perpetrator in, and in other
situations it might instantly turn off all the lights in certain areas. Should
'unique' situations/circumstances arise, compatable, 'custom-made' APPS can also be designed to be integrated with this PSAS as well!!

THE 'HI-TECH' WAY TO KEEP THE FAMILY TOGETHER FOREVER
.
.
The premise for this business venture is still in it's infancy but has a lot of potential,
although the travel industry won't like it as it will really cut into their
business, but it will REVOLUTIONIZE the way families interact with each other.
.
.
Although there are several possible areas where this concept will
work, I believe that the following one has the greatest potential. The basic
idea is to use webcams, 'monitors' and 'skype' type technology to it's FULLEST
by bringing families together that are separated from each other by distance.
This company will set up everything for those who either aren't computer 'savy'
enough to do it themselves or simply don't want to take the time and effort to
do it, in order to make the following scenario a reality:
.
.
Once the general public becomes aware of(making them aware will be
a big part of this venture's success) the almost unbelievabley fantastic
possibilities that this audio/visual system can make a reality when it comes to
keeping a family united/together dispite the fact that great distances might
'physically' keep them apart, it will spread like wildfire around the world,
making it possible to bring down both the purchase price and the operating costs
to a price that even 'poor' families can afford at least one 'hook-up'!!!!!
.
.
Imagine an elderly father and mother living in arizona who are to
sick to travel to see their son and daughter-in-law and their 3 children who
live in New York, who can't afford to travel to Arizona to see their elderly
parents. This company sets up webcams and audio 'skype' speakers in both the
dining room and the living room of both residences. When the video monitors are
positioned properly in both dining rooms, the elderly parents can actually be at
the table eating dinner with their family who are in New York!!! They can talk,
listen and interact with each other about the days activities or anything else,
just as if they were right there in the same room, with the only differance
being that they will be 'live' on TV type monitors rather than in person.
.
.
After dinner they can all go to their respective living rooms and watch TV together or
actually play games with each other. Grandpa & Grandma can take their
'mobile' webcam outside and show-off their new car or the tree that they just
planted in the front yard--the possibilities are endless!!!!! Although their
will be many 'players' in this field, The company I envision will not overlook
ANY POSSIBILITIES to make it the Leader!!!
.
.
Depending on how far you want to go with this you could do this
same thing with several homes if you want to 'connect' an entire big family with
each other so that they can always be together on birthdays, holidays and the
birth of new kids in the family!!!! THE POTENTIAL FOR THIS CONCEPT IS VIRTUALLY
UNLIMITED!!!!!!!!
.
.
It will also be possible to have a 'set-up' so that they can be together if one or both families are away from their homes for an 'outing' that can't be done from their homes such as a
graduation ceremony or visiting a mutual friend in the hospital. It will be very
important to make sure that potential customers are made aware that this system
isn't something that will have to be 'set-up' each time they want to get
together with far away friends/loved ones, but a 'permanent' system that they
only need to turn on in order to be 'intouch'.
.
.
There will be a lot of competition in this sector, but the company I envision will have it all together
to the max and will definitely be the leader.
.
.
.
POTENTIAL INVENTIONS:
.
1)a 'device' to aid those who for whatever reason have a hard time bending down far enough to put on their socks, so that they don't have to bend over at all!!
.
2)a 'device' to aid those who for whatever reason have a hard time bending over far enough to take off their socks, so that they don't have to bend over at all!!
.
3)a 'device' to aid those who for whatever reason have a hard time reaching/washing various parts of their body while taking a shower, so that they can wash their whole body from the front--WITHOUT HAVING TO BEND OVER AT ALL!!
.
4)a 'device' to shield a persons face from the "pain' associated when walking on those cold, snowy, wintery days, so that you will never feel that cold wind!!
.
5)a 'device' to help smokers from throwing away the unsmoked part of their cigarettes.
.
6)a 'device' that will be of use to those who like to bowl.
.
7)a small, simple, one piece 'device' made of strong 'extruded' plastic that has dozens of potential uses in stores, warehouses and anyplace that 'moves' any kind of merchandise on a regular basis.
.
8)a self-service 'device' that allows cats to get their own fresh running water--this is based on a
'phenomenon' that I have witnessed on many occasions with many different cats, which if further research proves it to be a 'common' trait among cats(and possibly even among dogs)will increase the value of this 'device' a hundred fold!!!
.
9)a 'power washer' that uses 'power air' as the main source of cleaning with various amounts of water 'merged' in with it for a variety of jobs/chores where water can't be used &/or would be too messy.
.
10)alight weight 'device' about the size of a netbook to be used by those who have to sit in a seat/chair for long periods of time(long bus rides and plane flights for example)that can be used-without 'violating' anyone elses space-to serve as a platform to set/use your computer or read or write on, and then can quickly and easily be 'adjusted' to form a couple of relatively comfortable ways to take a nap on!!!
.
11)a host of new 'devices' and other pieces of equipment and equipment systems to improve the speed, efficiency and productivity in the kitchens of all sectors of the food service industry.
.
12)a backyard device/game that mimics the 'sport' of log rolling.
.
13)a parachute that is big enough to be 'packed' by the owner and then shot out of a 10 foot high tube to gain altitude and then it can either float back to earth on it's own or be 'guided' via the use of wireless technology.
.
14)two equipment 'systems' that employ a novel/innovative way to keep score can give the 'backyard' versions of the olympic sports of boxing and fencing a significant resurgence in
interest/participation(I can envision local/regional/national 'tournamounts' in various age groups if promoted properly).
.
THE FOLLOWING WILL QUALIFY ME TO DO MY PART IN MAKING ALL OF MY IDEAS A SUCCESS:
.
.
Due to a lifelong childhood malady, and other LEGITIMATE REASONS beyond my control, I don't have most of the traits, characteristics and expertise that an entrepreneur should have in order to have a reasonable chance to become successful on their own. However, EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT PERSONALLY QUALIFIED TO MAKE A SUCCESS OF ANY OF MY OWN 'IDEAS' FOR INVENTIONS OR NEW BUSINESS VENTURES, because I do possess the following two 'unconventional' type of skill sets, I believe that all of my 'ideas' can become successful if, IN AN 'OVERSEER'/CONSULTANT type of position, I am on the 'team' charged with making that success become a reality!!
.
.
1)I believe that I may have a '6th sense' type of attribute that allows me upon being made aware of certain people, places, things processes, concepts and any number of other particular 'sets of circumstances', to see them, not necessarily as they are in their present state, but rather how they might become in an 'expanded' way that would give them more value/worth than they are now--and then in an 'consultant' type of position, with the co-operation and utilization of other people's wisdom/knowledge/talent/traits/expertise, I am able to make the necessary 'changes' to make these things reach their highest state of being.
.
2)I am fully aware of all of the following, what I refer to as TIMELESS, ETERNAL AND INFALLIBLE TRUTHS, VALUES AND PRINCIPLES, and am fully qualified to COMPLETELY BENEFIT from the wisdom and knowledge that they impart:
.
.
0)NEVER DO ANYTHING TO OTHERS THAT YOU WOULD NOT WANT THEM TO DO TO YOU.
.
.
1)No individual person, no matter how much fame, fortune, power, wisdom, talent, courage or any other attributes that they might have, can do more than make a small dent in all that needs to be done to make this a better world. However, collectively, as THE FAMILY OF MAN, our accumulative attributes will allow us enough of whatever we need to be able to do anything that is technologically possible!!
.
.
2)If someone is fully aware of all of their 'limitations' in every aspect of their lives, and realizes the limitless value of the proper 'relegation' of certain jobs/tasks, it isn't necessary for the skill, ability, expertise or knowledge that is needed for them to accomplish something to be in their actual 'possession', just as long as they are both aware of which of these attributes will be necessary to successfully get the job done, and know how they can best be used to do so, and then have at their disposal those people who do actually possess those needed attributes...
.
.
3)In much the same way that the 26 letters of our alphabet are used to form an unlimited number of words and phrases, all 'new' ideas(those which don't require any new knowledge/technology to make them to make them fully functional)are only 'new' in the sense that the various 'components' that make them up have never before been put together in exactly the particular way/shape/manner/form that they are now being combined so that they can form this new use/purpose!! .
.
.
4)THE STATUS QUO is the biggest hindrance to progess in all areas of society, and, consequently, can no longer be held up as the unquestioned standard by which the who, what, when, where & why of ANYTHING is to be determined/done.
.
.
5)FACTS, LOGIC, TRUTH, COMMON SENSE AND 'OUT-OF-THE-BOX' THINKING WILL ALWAYS BE INTEGRAL TO THE INNOVATION PROCESS.
.
.
6)because of all that there is to know in this life, in the relatively short amount of time that a person has to try and learn it all, NONE OF US INDIVIDUALLY, knows very much at all.
.
.
7)When considering the merits of possibly investing in any NEW INVENTION/BUSINESS VENTURE/'CONCEPT' that doesn't require the use of any NEW technology(or technology that is 'untested' with regard to its use in the 'venture' in question)to make it fully 'functional', it isn't necessary in these early stages of the 'due diligence' process to have either a 'prototype' &/or business plan. The ONLY TWO THINGS that needs to be found out in the beginning about these kind of ventures-once their 'premise' has sparked your interest-are:1)is there a big enough POTENTIAL market out there to make this a worthwhile investment?;2)will the public/end user readily accept the price that they have to be charged in order to cover ALL the costs associated with making it available to them?...
.
.
8)if a company wants to separate itself from its competition and remain at the forefront of its industry, it must always be properly, carefully and thoroughly searching out and implementing / combining ALL OF THE INNOVATIVE COST & LABOR SAVING MEASURES with other SALES PRODUCING AND ENHANCING METHODS from across the entire spectrum of all business ‘disciplines’. Additionally, it must always be on the lookout from across the entire spectrum of the business world for ANYTHING from which the premise, concept or principle upon which they are based can be successfully ‘adjusted’, adapted and then ‘transferred’ for successful implementation in any of their particular areas of need.
.
.
9)THE MANAGEMENT TEAM that is in charge of making a success of any given venture is the singularly most important 'element' in determining it's success orfailure--and just how successful it becomes is,in turn,directly proportional toboth the amount and degree of original,'out-of-the-box' type of entrepreneurial expertise that is possessed/exhibited by that team, AS WELL AS, their ability to properly discern which parts/aspects of the prevailing status-quo that affects their particular venture in any way,will no longer be accepted/held up as theunquestioned way that the who,what,where,when and why of how things are to be carried out in the future.
.
.
10)the birth/dawning of the 'computer age' opened up unprecedented and virtually unlimited possibilities for the human race with the 'spawning' of the internet. The potential of the awesome and virtually unlimited capabilities of the proper combining and utilization of both crowdsourcing and the internet provides society with something brand new in the human experience by allowing ME/YOU/ US/WE, for the first time in the history of the world to be able to have COMPLETE access to the unlimited benefits of the GREATEST HUMAN RESOURCE IN THE HISTORY THE WORLD, which is of course, THE LIMITLESS POTENTIAL OF THE HUMAN MIND, which manifests itself in a myriad of different ways, not the least of which is THE LIMITLESS SUPPLY OF GOOD IDEAS, IN EVERY REALM IMAGINABLE, THAT EXISTS IN THE HEARTS, MINDS AND IMAGINATIONS OF HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF 'COMMON ' PEOPLE THE WORLD OVER.
.
.
11)DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE PREMISE OF THE FOLLOWING 'METHOD' OF GETTING TO THE TRUTH OF ANYTHING/EVERYTHING IS BOTH VERY SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE, IT IS RARELY, IF EVER, USED IN EITHER THE PRIVATE OR PUBLIC SECTORS OF OUR SOCIETY, AND IS THE PRIMARY REASON THAT OUR COUNTRY(AND, INDEED, THE REST OF THE WORLD AS WELL)IS IN THE SAD SHAPE THAT IT IS IN TODAY!!!
.
.
The following method/procedure, if followed to the letter, will provide the best DEFINITIVE determination of the exact nature of any problem, and will then lead to the BEST OF ALL POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO IT:
.
First of all, EVERYTHING(within reason)that's ever been written/recorded about this subject needs to be gathered together in one place(which won't be as hard as it sounds considering the number of people that we will have working on it). Then EVERY SINGLE point on EVERY side of the 'argument' must be debated and then continuously examined and cross-examined by ALL sides until THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS LEFT unanswered with regard to EVERY SINGLE POINT on all sides of the argument. All 'contentions' and answers on all sides of the argument must be accompanied by DEFINITIVE facts, figures, studies and other collaborating proof/evidence obtained from universally recognized AUTHORATATIVE sources only.
.
Once a problem has definitively been identified, the following procedure will lead you to to it's best solution, PROBLEMS in all sectors of society are, on the one side, caused by certain things, and on the other side result in a lot of negativity in a variety of different ways. All to many solutions to problems end up addressing the negative results of these problems, as opposed to what it is that is causing the problems in the first place. The following 'method' of finding the solutions to problems will not only produce the best of all possible solutions to the problems in question( that are feasibly possible within the limits of existing knowledge and technology ), but will give you a perfect overall view of the entire problem/solution picture as far as knowing where each new solution stands relative to it's eventual 'final' solution!!
.
Instead of advancing forward from the existing solution to any problem, instead retreat backwards from the ABSOLUTELY BEST OF ALL possible solutions to that problem IF ANYTHING AT ALL WERE POSSIBLE (no matter how impossible or far fetched it may seem) until you meet the solution to it that, within the limits of existing knowledge and technology, is the most feasible one that will work.
.
.
12)The 'birth' and subsequent proliferation of the computer/Internet/'social media' has spawned many business validation/evaluation 'algorithms', along with 'wisdom of the crowds' types ones as well, that make it virtually unnecessary for any proposed new inventions &/or business ventures(those that don't require the use of any new &/ or untried/untested technology to make them
fully functional)to be accompanied by a working 'prototype' &/or business plan.
.
.
In much the same way that the 26 letters of our alphabet are
used to form an unlimited number of words and phrases, all 'new' ideas(those
which don't require any new &/or untried/untested knowledge/technology to
make them fully functional)are only 'new' in the sense that the various time
tested 'components' that make them up--which have been used millions of times in
the creation of everything in existence--have never before been put together in
exactly the particular way/shape/manner/form that they are now being combined
so that they can form this new use/purpose!!
.
.
The basic concept/premise for any 'new idea' of the kind alluded to above, can be
explained fully enough IN ONE SINGLE PARAGRAPH so that anyone expert in that
area(and more times than not, someone of even just average intelligence)will
IMMEDIATELY have that EUREKA, AH-HAH MOMENT and fully understand exactly what it
is that you have in mind(and possibly even be mad at themselves for not having
thought of it long ago). In other words, if you provide the right person with
nothing more than this ever so slight description of just the basic
concept/premise of whatever it is that you have in mind, they now know
EVERYTHING necessary to make it just as SUCCESSFUL as if they knew everything
about it as you do.
.
.
When considering the potential merits/value/worth of any NEW INVENTION/BUSINESS VENTURE(that doesn't require the use of any new technology &/or technology that is 'untested'
with regard to its use in the 'venture' in question to make it fully
'functional')it isn't necessary in these early stages of the 'due diligence'
process to have either a 'prototype' &/or business plan. The ONLY TWO THINGS
that needs to be found out in the beginning about these kind of ventures-once
their 'premise' has sparked your interest-are:1)is there a big enough POTENTIAL
market out there to make this a worthwhile investment?;2)will the public/end
user readily accept the price that they have to be charged in order to )cover
ALL the costs associated with making it available to them?
.
.
13)Does it make any logical sense to pass over a potentially
good new invention, business venture or solution to a problem SIMPLY BECAUSE THE
PERSON WHO CAME UP WITH THEM--for any number of LEGITIMATE reasons(see a list of
them on my website)--CAN'T, WON'T, OR IS INCAPABLE OF DOING ANYTHING OF A
POSITIVE NATURE WITH THEM, even though there is a
very easy/realistic 'remedy' for this 'dilemma?
.
.
IT IS AN ACCEPTED FACT among the various 'entities' that invest in new business ventures, that it is the 'implementation' of an idea, rather than the idea itself, that is the most
important thing in it's potential success. THEREFORE, THE VALUE/WORTH OF AN IDEA
ISN'T ENHANCED OR DIMINISHED SIMPLY BECAUSE THE ONE WHO THOUGHT OF IT--for
any number of LEGITIMATE REASONS--CAN'T/WON'T OR IS INCAPABLE OF DOING ANYTHING OF A POSITIVE NATURE WITH IT, THEREFORE IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE TO DISREGARD ONE SIMPLY FOR THIS REASON ALONE.
.
.
In a perfect world those people with ‘ideas’ for something would also have all of the necessary
qualities/attributes/expertise to make their ‘ideas’ a success, and conversely,
those people with the qualities/attributes/ expertise to make a success out of
any kind of an ‘idea’ would also be able to come up with the ‘ideas’ that
they need to be able to make a success out of. Unfortunately, this is not a
perfect world and never will be.
.
.
Having said the above, there are literally millions of people out there who have potentially good ‘ideas’ for promising new products/services/businesses in every realm of human endeavor but
PERSONALLY lack the qualities/attributes/expertise to make them a success. On
the other end of the spectrum, there is vast pool of eager, hungry
‘entrepreneurs’ out there, who, although they might not be able to come up with
a good ‘idea’ for anything if their life depended on it, do have, collectively
among them, every skill, trait, ability, talent, attribute characteristic or
other expertise that it would take to bring to successful fruition any kind of
an ‘idea’ that anyone could possibly come up with in any realm of human endeavor
whatsoever.
.
.
If the necessary time & effort were taken to somehow get
these two diverse groups of people to work together for their
common welfare you would then have the basis for the perfect ‘venue’ to provide
every funded promising new business venture THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHANCE IN THE
WORLD TO HAVE EVERY POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL!!!
.
.
This ‘venue’ would now make it possible to make some
concessions in the ’unwritten law’ among investors which requires that, in order
to get funded, the founders of a proposed new business venture must
PERSONALLY have the necessary expertise to make it a success. Now, rather than
possibly compromising a funded venture’s chances for success by letting its
‘founders’, SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE ITS ‘FOUNDERS’, be in charge of it (unless,
of course, they are fully qualified to do so), you would now be able to do the
much more sensible thing of assembling a hand-picked, 'tailor- made' management
team for that venture from that vast pool of eager, 'hungry' entrepreneurs who have all of the EXACT qualifications that you need (and in the exact degree of expertise required) in order to give that venture THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHANCE IN THE WORLD TO HAVE EVERY POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL!!!
.
.
Another added benefit, which is now denied them, would be available to those who invest in promising new business ventures if they used this ‘venue’, in that a whole new world of investment possibilities would now be open to them by not now having to limit their search
for promising new business ventures to only those whose founders must PERSONALLY
have the necessary expertise to make them a success!!!
.
.
14)There are hundreds of millions of people in this world that for any number of LEGITIMATE REASONS--none of which are any fault of their own--keep them from ever even getting the chance to just start to 'be the best that they can/might be', much less have the opportunity to bring their various talents/attributes to any kind of successful fruition.
.
These LEGITIMATE REASONS run the entire gamut of the 'human condition', ranging from physical, mental, psychological &/or psysiological concerns, to a vast array of of possible social, family, religious, educational, racial, governmental &/or environmental beliefs/restrictions/regulations. Other of these people, aside from possibly not having the time, money or education, may lack other skills, abilities, traits, talents, attributes or other characteristics that it would take to be successful in their
lives. Lastly, some of them may have been born with &/or are being forced to face, encounter, endure or live with any number of other possible negative situations, circumstances or obstacles that may inhibit them in some way or another.
.
Due to the negative effects, in their many and varied forms and guises, resulting from any of these various 'deficiencies', any of which, either directly or indirectly, depending on how &/or to what degree these people might be affected by them, can DEFINITELY be partially or completely responsible for denying them the success that, without those 'IMBALANCES' in their lives, they may well have achieved.
.
Unfortunately, due to the circumstances alluded to above, because the 'mainstream establishment' doesn't understand this 'phenomenon', they more or less shun these people, and then, not only do they never get the chance to 'be the best they can/might be', WE, AS THE FAMILY OF MAN, are denied the many benefits that they may have offered is in every realm of society imaginable.
.
Tragically, these people have no recourse but to simply continue to live out their daily lives while the relentless march of time slowly but surely erases their potentially good ideas, talents and other attributes, from their memories, until eventually all of the hopes, dreams and aspirations that they may have had in their regard finally wither away and die, possibly lost for all time, along with all of the money that they could have made for investors and all of the good that they may have done for mankind.

1)DROWNING PREVENTION DETECTOR:
.
YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT IN THIS COUNTRY ALONE, SEVERAL HUNDRED CHILDREN DROWN IN UNATTENDED SWIMMING POOLS--this 'invention' is designed to address this issue(if something like this already exists, it's 'owners' are doing a very poor job of marketing it, WHICH IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS IS COMING UP WITH LIFE SAVING IDEA ITSELF).
.
Based on the 'Principle' described below, and dispite the ABSCENCE of a 'prototype', the following 'description' is all that is necessary for those knowledgable in the required/necessary 'technologies', to bring this 'idea' to successful fruition:
.
Using the latest in 'board technology/accelerometers/gyroscope technology, create a device that will float on a swimming pool, which when it detects any unusual/out of the ordinary 'movement' as far as any 'splash' movement(someone falling into the pool)will sound any number of possible 'alarms'--how many 'alarms' can be determined by the owner of the pool, and can include video of the pool/pool area. This 'product' can be simple or more complex, BUT IT ALL DOES THE SAME JOB, WHICH IS PERFECTLY UNDERSTANDABLE WITH JUST THIS SIMPLE DESCRIPTION!!
.
2)LIFE SAVING 'BEEPER' OR CELL PHONE 'APP':
.
The following proposed startup business venture doesn't require the use of any new or untested technology to make it fully functional and ready to implement, and therefore, DISPITE THE ABSCENCE OF A 'PROTOTYPE' OF ANY KIND, the following description of it will make it easily understandable to anybody as to what I have in mind in it's regard:
I just heard on the radio for the 5th or 6th time in less than an hour, a 'public service' safety warning that gave me an 'idea' for something that might save lives and become a profitable business venture as
well(assuming that it doesn't already exist, in which case that public service advertising money would be much better spent directing the public to the solution to the 'problem' as opposed to just warning them about it!).
In any case this 'warning' was about the hundreds of infants and pets that die each year of heatstroke from being left in the backseat of a car with the windows rolled 95% the way up. It seems to me that an inexpensive cellphone 'app'(or small 'beeper' type device)could easily solve that problem by having a small 'sensor' permanently attached to the inside of the car, and when the driver gets out of the car and gets 2 or 3 feet away from the 'sensor' the 'app'(or 'beeper' device) will 'beep' to warn the driver to check the back seat. For those who don't believe its a problem to leave infants/pets alone for a few minutes, for a little extra money they could have the 'app'(or 'beeper)alert them if the temperature in the car gets near the danger zone..
.
.
3)PREVENTING ABORTIONS:
.
.
A website that connects/introduces girls/woman who are contemplating having an abortion with the millions of couples worldwide who are waiting long periods of time to adopt newborn babies by waiting their turn in line at adoption agencies. These couples will pay for all of the girls expenses while she is waiting to have the baby, and then will give her some some money at the time of the adoption. If this website is set up properly and in a 'dignified' manner, and 'MARKETED' properly, it can save the lives of countless babies every year!!
.
.
4)PERSONAL SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM:
.
.
Every day of the year you read/hear literally dozens of stories in the news about about robberies, rapes, kidnappings, personal attacks and shootings of all kinds, making SECURITY something that I believe most people would consider a very important area of not only their lives, but that of their loved ones as well, and, consequently, will to do everything possible to make them as safe as possible.
.
When you couple the dismal economic conditions that are plaguing not only the citizens of this country, but those of the rest of the world as well(with no relief in sight in the forseeable future)with government's global 'push' to make it unlawful for anyone to carry a personal firearm of any kind, NEVER HAS THE GLOBAL WANT/NEED FOR A DEPENDABLE, HI-TECH PERSONAL SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM EVER BEEN MORE NECESSARY THAN IT IS TODAY!!.
.
I have been watching for the last few years as more 'personal security' type systems are being introduced, both in the form of cell phone 'apps' as well as 'pendants' worn around the neck(mainly for the sick and elderly)which when 'pressed' in the case of an emergency, they notify a call-center via 'wireless technology' that someone needs help. For a 'system' like this to work properly, SPEED AND RELIABILITY are key components that it must possess, and having to get to either your cell phone in the event of an 'attack', or to the 'pendant' around your neck, a person might not be able to get to them in time even as accessible as they obviously are.
.
My 'idea' in this regard(and the most important aspect/feature of this 'system'--WHICH, FOR BREVITY, WILL BE FROM HERE ON IN REFERED TO AS SIMPLY PSAS) is to transfer the cell phone 'triggering' method/mechanism and the 'push-button' pendant technology to a 'system' that employs an alarm system that can be easily and quickly triggered/activated by 'pushing' on a ring worn on the finger. For several obvious reasons, in almost any projected situation, sounding the alarm for help would be much more practical in every way by 'pushing' on a ring on your finger(using the thumb on the same finger that the ring is on to push it) as opposed to having to reach for your cell phone or push a pendant around your neck.
.
The 'heart' of this system will be a cell phone size 'device' that can be worn anywhere on the body(but I suggest wearing it on a belt in the 'small' of your back making it almost impossible for a 'perpetrator' to take it off the owner). When 'accosted' be someone, the owner simply pushes on the ring, which in almost every situation of being attacked, because of the easily/quickly accessed 'ring' feature, the 'perpetrator' will find it virtually impossible to stop the owner from being able to sound the alarm. Once the ring is 'pushed' it both sets off the ABOLUTELY LOUDEST POSSIBLE SOUND that is possible to come up with using todays 'sound' technology, and it also notifies a 'call center' of some kind where GPS technology can pinpoint the owners exact location. Once this loud alarm is set off the 'perpetrator can't 'silence' it without tearing if completely apart(assuming he can find it and get it off the owner in the short time before help arrives)and he will also know that the authorities have already been summoned and are on the way.
.
In order for a product like this to actually become the ultimate in PERSONAL SECURITY ALARM SYSTEMS, it must be one which has been designed with enough dependable, hi-tech 'pro-active' type deterrent features that the person who purchases it can rest assured that they will seldom, if ever, even have to 'trigger' it's alarm because the kind of personal attacks and other sinister type encounters/confrontations that they purchased it to be 'protected' from won't even happen in the first place, as once any potential muggers/robbers/rapists learn about these 'pro-active' features, they will be so 'intimidated' by them that they will move on and, unfortunately, prey on
someone who isn't 'protected' by this security system!!!!!
.
Although THE PERSONAL SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM that I propose(which doesn't require the use of any new or untried technology to be fully functional) will be designed primarily for individual personal attack type situations, because of it's 'modular' design it can be easily adapted for use in other harrowing type situations, such as to summon help if your alone and in distress, or if your possibly involved in a HOME INVASION, or in a BANK or CONVENIENCE STORE ROBBERY, or it CAN ALSO POSSIBLY BE USED IN HELPING TO PREVENT SCHOOL MASSACRES (as well as those in other places).
.
Once again, because of it's 'modular' design, this product/system has 'applications' well beyond what the average person might ever want/need, and will thus have some extra 'features' that, depending on the situation and/or the degree of protection that a company or organization may want or the amount of money that they want to spend, can be easily 'added on'!! Once the alarm has been 'triggered' on this PSAS, there can AUTOMATICALLY be set into motion several possible 'senarios' as described below(which, once again, when potential perpetrators learn of the existence of these alarms/features, it will keep them from ever bothering any person or place that is 'protected' by this system--one of whose 'pro-active' deterrent features, by the way, will make them well aware of who is and who isn't being 'protected' by this system!!!) :
.
1)with the addition of an audio/video 'app', this 'system' can also possibly aide in actually identifing the robbers/rapists/gunman in a given incident;
2) When it comes to possibly preventing SCHOOL MASSACRES, by INSTANTLY notifying teachers and other school employees( as well as the authorities) that a gunman is on the premises, an 'add-on' feature could be co-ordinated with the locks on the class
room doors to automatically lock them when the teacher 'triggers' the alarm on his/her PSAS, thereby keeping the gunman from ever entering the classrooms;
3)In the event of a 'holdup' type situation, this system can be co-ordinated with various 'independent' alarms that mimic the sounds of police sirens, or even a 'synthetic' voice telling the perpetrator that he is completely surrounded. In certain situations, it can also be co-ordinated with door locks to lock the perpetrator in, and in other situations it might instantly turn off all the lights in certain areas. Should 'unique' situations/circumstances arise, compatable, 'custom-made' APPS can also be designed to be integrated with this PSAS as well!!
.
8)A line of shoes whereby with a single 'base' pair of specially designed shoes(which themselves are designed to last much longer than a normal pair)and dozens of quickly interchangeable 'add-ons', you will be able to 'mix and match' to make dozens of different style and color shoes WITH THAT SINGLE PAIR OF 'BASE' SHOES!!!!
.
9)A line of 'casual' clothes that can be worn by people in their everyday outdoor activities whereby they can get an 'all-over' tan with out having to spend countless hours laying in the sun or a
tanning booth(i.e.,they tan right thru the clothes!) .
.
10)a simple, inexpensive one piece 'device' of extruded plastic for use in millions of business's worldwide--this 'idea' is so simple that it's almost unbelievable that nobody has ever thought of it before.
.
11)a company that oversees/implements the entire spectrum of everything that provides an opportunity for the average person to make a decent living by using their own vehicle(with possibly minor changes/'add-ons' necessary at times) and becoming an 'independent agent'/contractor in the areas of taxi cab/local courior/pickup-delivery/tow truck driver/bus driver/long haul delivery.
.
5)IDEA FOR A WEB BASED STARTUP VENTURE:
.
There are millions of people worldwide like myself, who on a regular basis, have 'ideas' for new products/inventions &/or the basic premise/concept for a potential new startup business venture of some kind or another--way to many 'ideas' to be able to take the time to evaluate all of them with regard to even a few elementary, but EXTREMELY important aspects that will give you at least some kind of an indication if they are even worth following up on. If the following 'service'--which to my knowledge doesn't exist ANYWHERE--can be PROFITABLY offered to the public at a reasonable price, I believe that It would be an overwhelming success!!!
.
My idea in this regard, is to offer a 'service' to people like myself who have an 'idea' for a new product or invention, or for the premise for some kind of a 'service' or other type business venture that they want to be 'evaluated' in a few key areas in order to get some kind of an idea if it is even worth spending anymore time, effort or money on. This 'service' will, for a REASONABLE price(probably from $100 to $1,000, depending on the degree of the 'complexity' of it's makeup)offer to provide these people within a reasonable amount of time(2-4 weeks, if possible)an elementary but definitive 'evaluation' of their 'idea' in a few 'key' areas'(see below).
Although this 'service' business will only be providing a very few answers regarding these proposed new product/inventions, or the premise for a 'service' business of some kind, these answers will give that person a very good idea as to whether or not their 'idea' may be worth going forward with. This 'service' could actually be done without having many 'in-house' employees, as all of the required information can be 'outsourced' to any of the many websites on the internet where information of this kind could be acquired. It is imperative however, that the information provided to those paying for it, is as definitive as is possible..
IDEA FOR A WEB BASED STARTUP SERVICE:
For a one time fee of (between $100 & $1,000, depending on it's 'complexity'), our company and it's vast array of companion resources, will provide you with the following information with regard to your 'idea':
