This week we circle back with Connie B. Tate, inventor of the all new 3-in-1 hairstyling finger comb, Kwik Fingers. Last episode we spoke with Connie and heard her amazing life's story and how important it was for her to always persevere, listen to that inner voice and finish what she started. Although she had experienced quite a bit, she worked through it all and became a successful executive in her field. But she didn't stop there. She recently brought a product to market that she felt solved a problem for her when doing her own hair and soon found out she solved a problem...or should we say found a need for many women and men with just one small 3-in-1 comb that can assist with more than a few hairstyling needs.

Connie has been able to again turn her innovative invention into a teaching tool and was now willing to sit with us for a second time to tell us about her journey of creating her comb and bringing it to life. Connie walks us through the steps she says, as a "solopreneur" she took to bring her product to market.

When asked about her "why", Connie says she recognized that she is a problem solver. She saw a need, and she "had the answer". She also wanted to create generational wealth for her family. Connie says, "when I see a problem, I research and I execute". She also says "no problem or solution is too small, but you have to be willing to do the work".

For those of you with a dream, or a vision in your mind about a product, listen as Connie takes us on her journey from the vision, to the drawings she made and the prototypes she created at home, all the way through to marketing and launching her product. Building a foundation, finding people she could discuss her idea with leading to NDA's. Terms like Non-Provisional Patents versus Provisional Patents, securing LLCs, creating logos, Trademarking, marketing, distribution, Connie discusses it all!

This episode is full of valuable information. Connie believes that sharing all she knows plants seeds, and for her that is immensely gratifying. Listen today as she encourages everyone to "see, seek and seize the moment".
