BAD IDEA + $ = GOOD IDEA

The difference between a good idea and a bad idea is money. When you spend two years on a project that does nothing but cost you money, all those eye rolls from friends and family begin to ad up.

Take the pet rock for instance. This idea was conceived drunk in a bar in 1975 by a fellow by the name of Gary Dahl. He was sick of his friends complaining about their pets so he came up with the idea of a pet that didn't eat drink or shit. The pet rock was born. He sold 1.5 million pet rocks in a matter of six months. The Pet Rock was bought by the Mego corperation in 2009 and is still produced till this day. (Mego coincidentally was the creator of the most famous version of the KISS dolls from the mid-70′s. Speaking of KISS, I'm sure they were laughed at more than a few times when they told their friends they were going to paint their faces, wear 8 inch platform heels, and run around half naked playing Rock n Roll.)

On any given night in a bar we can each come up with dozens of ideas and forget all about them the next day. It takes real guts to turn your idea into a career.
