My idea was a pacifier that lights up when it falls out of a child’s mouth. Currently my patent is pending and I am writing a business plan for it.

Thanks for you insightful blog and book. I have learned allot from you!

It would be much more valuable if their were business experts or seasoned entrepreneurs weighing in or weeding out ideas.

By the way my idea did make it to the finals last month.

But an idea, in and of itself is worth little to nothing. It is only after execution has been put on top of an idea that value is created. Think of legally protectable IP. Trademarks are worth nothing until a brand is built. Patent likely involved a great deal of work to get idea to something concrete, even if just on paper. Copyright is protection of the written idea only.

Besides, especially if it’s on the Internet, it is more or less instantly replicable. Your advantage must come from something beyond the idea.

Put your ideas up on whatever the site is, but don’t but up your competitive advantage.
