Re: Cash up front ... or Royalties?
- There are so many amazing stories here.
Most my inventions were created on the job and are the property of my employer.
Cash up front if you are out of options is what some people must do.
These people may consider a 5 year contract.
This would allow them to renegotiate another license when they are stronger financially.
Truth is most people that are in financial trouble today are still in trouble 5 years later.
Discipline and control of your own life is priceless.
An example of cash up front versus royalties is "Star Wars"
Harrison Ford (Hans Solo) took cash up front. He needed the money.
Alec Ginness (Obiwankonbi) took royalties. I believe the force is still paying.

- And the Top 50 Entrepreneurs of all time are…
(In no particular order)
Hugh Hefner – Obvious.
Oprah – Born to a single mother in rural Mississippi, did what she loved and never let up. Popularized and revolutionized the tabloid talk show genre.
Simon Cowell – Guy made millions off Karaoke.

Hans Christiansen – Partners with Adrian Block.
Adam Osborne – Creator of the 1st personal computer.
Howard Hughes – Say what you want about him the man had a vision and stuck to it.
Madame C.J. Walker – 1st Female African American Millionaire…and she did it in early 1900’s. Safe to say she had a lot of obstacles, but persevered and prospered. If you think you have more working against you than Madame C.J. Walker did, think again.
Mary Kay Ash – The woman behind Mary Kay cosmetics. Redefined affiliate marketing.
Howard Schultz – Who’s gonna’ pay $4.00 for a cup of coffee? With $2.5 billion plus in total revenue the answer at Starbuck’s is a lot!

King Croesus – Minted the world’s first coin in 6th century.
Benjamin Franklin – Author, printer, inventor, businessman.
Ray Croc – Where do you go for dinner when you spent all your money on $4.00 Starbuck’s coffee? McDonald’s! Franchising and national expansion (both stores and waistlines) would never be the same.
Sam Walton – Speaking of saving money and expanding like crazy. Sam Walton found a niche and filled it, regardless of what you think of the extra traffic Wal-Mart brings to your neighborhood.
Ernest Gallo – Took what was once an exclusive product and repackaged it for the masses. I was 20 years old before I knew wine came in anything but a “jug”.
William Middlebrook – Giving William the nod for inventing the paper clip, although some debate remains. However, you have to include the inventor of the paper clip in this list since we’ve all said, at one time or another, “and whoever invented the paperclip is rich, and I’m still working in this crappy office!”
Bill Gates – Took a risk and was a first mover in a market that exploded.
Steve Jobs – Make your products easy and people will love to use them…making a dead sexy laptop doesn’t hurt either.

Russell Simmons – Worth $325 million, and started as a teen street hustler. A hip hop pioneer and visionary who has shaped the hip-hop scene of the early 80’s, has branched off into fashion, television and film. And I don’t care if you grew up in Brooklyn or Beverly Hills you remember “Russell Simmons Def Comedy Jam”.
Ron Popeil – Net worth in excess of $100 million dollars. A consummate salesman, he had us believing we NEEDED a food dehydrator and spray paint to cover our bald spot!
