I just started working on a new idea. My plan is to use this blog to share and document my experiences, as they happen, while I explore the new idea from its early inception… I’d also like to make this blog more interactive to get –your- input and collaboration. Thank you again!

." -- Robert Fischell, Inventor (Holder of 200 medical device patents) It is easy to come up with ideas. Convincing others to believe in your idea is hard. Ive found that a lot of people are interested in hearing about new ideas. they listen, they smile and nod, they say nice things and tell you its a great idea.

I have found that if an idea is incredibly complex, it inherently requires more time to develop and is harder to explain to customers, users, partners, employees, etc. And if customers, users, partners and employees have a hard time understanding or explaining the idea, then it will eventually fail.

I setup a nice little home office for myself and started dabbling with a few ideas. I started an incubator/holdings company called Addante and Associates to be the umbrella company for my ideas and consulting projects.

To be honest, I don’t know where my response came from because the truth was that I was very intimidated and had no idea how we would beat them. Just because a company gets big, ideas get bigger and the employee and customer count grows – it doesn’t mean that things need to become more complex.
