‘Medium Hanging Fruit Challenge: 499 Business Ideas / Inventions Inside…*’
In 2024 I set myself the challenge to come up with 500 ‘New’ Business Ideas/Inventions and it has taken me 2 years to produce the goods!
In this book you can read about my inspiration for the challenge, an example of a typical process, the challenge outcomes + of course 499 of the ideas are listed and categorised for you to enjoy.
(A.I was not used to come up with these ideas)
What to expect:
Whilst working at an American summer camp almost 20 years ago I read a campers book about crazy Japanese inventions - things like putting butter in a glue stick to use on toast… needless to say I was thoroughly entertained!
The book I’ve written is to some extent a British take on that as many of the ideas are listed to entertain - like my foot pedal deodorant dispenser! - It’s brilliant I tell you! (Not!) or the weighing scales built into the shower tray (Actually not bad if I do say so myself!)
Inside the book there are ideas that as well as perhaps not existing yet, might just make your life 20 to 30% better! - Like the goal setting bracelet - one goal/reminder that loops around and around on a digital bracelet all day…
You can use these ideas without renumeration or offering credit to me (However do check for existing intellectual property!)
In a nutshell this is a book of 499 business ideas/inventions, many of which you could quite possibly start!
Who is this book for?
Those looking for inspiration and direct ideas to start their own businesses.
The curious person who would also read a joke book left on a coffee table - for the novelty, the new perspective and just for a giggle.
Those looking to set themselves up for a passionate debate with friends on subjects including product design, marketing strategy, the consumer landscape and evaluating the best speculative spin off idea.
