Beware of CON guys, the one who tell you how to do things without demonstrating a track record.

Talk to the people who have preceded you with their ideas.

The hottest product this last Christmas was ice shingles Christmas tree light which two girls had a patent on. They made about $5,000,000 off of their idea but they estimate they lost $1,000,000,000 from pirated sales from big companies like Sears, J C Penny, Wal-Mart and others. They thought they had it covered with their patent but it proved to be worthless.

Best of Luck,
