How long does it take you from idea to selling your product or service?

In the automobile business it is usually between 5 and 7 years.

Are you asking, ‘What does that have to do with me?’ The short answer is everything. The long answer is that unless you are thinking ahead and coming up with new ideas on a regular basis your business or industry is falling behind.

I can’t tell you what to do, but I can ask you this question;
Do you want to be first with new ideas or do you want to be playing catch-up all the time?
