About the Book:
For as long as you can remember, you’ve had a dream. You’ve longed to see your product idea come to fruition so you never have to work for anyone else again.
Stephen Key has been living this dream for 30 years. The developer of such lucrative products as Michael Jordan’s WallBall®, the Spinformation® rotating label, and HotPicks® guitar picks, he knows better than anyone how to make a great living as an entrepreneur. Key develops ideas for new products, licenses them out, collects royalty checks, and doesn’t look back. You can do it, too. All you need is One Simple Idea.
In this book, Key reveals the secrets that helped him and thousands of his students—including bestselling author Tim Ferriss—turn their creativity into a passive income generator by “renting” an idea to a company, which takes care of R&D, production, marketing, sales, accounting, distribution, and everything else you don’t want to do.
You’ll be amazed at how simple the process of licensing an idea for profit actually is. Key explains how to:
- Keep your ideas safe—without spending time and money on a patent
- Be your own boss—without formally opening a business
- See your product go to market—without footing a dime in expenses
- Make potentially big money—without quitting your day job
The age-old business assumption that ideas must come from within organizations has been shattered. From global corporations to small businesses, companies have become so confident in outside entrepreneurs that licensing is now a $500 billion industry. Businesses need “freelancers” like Key—and you—to provide creative, marketable ideas for new offerings.
With One Simple Idea, there’s no prototyping, no patents, and, best of all, no risk. You can make the system work for you—rather than the other way around.

Product Description
When childhood friends Eric Ryan and Adam Lowry decided to go into business together, they realized they didn’t just want to design a new version of someone else’s product. They wanted to reinvent an entire category-one that had hardly changed in decades. After months of searching for the right idea, they settled on, of all things, cleaning products.
If any consumer goods category needed a makeover, this was surely it. The dominant companies had been on top for more than a century and had bamboozled consumers into believing that the smell of bleach is the smell of clean and harsh toxic chemicals are the only means to a healthy home. And because cleaning is a chore, products should come in ugly, bulky packages – difficult to use and unpleasant to look at.
But what if people had products they actually enjoyed cleaning their homes and doing laundry with? What if those products not only worked great but also smelled nice and were safe for the environment? What if they came in beautiful bottles? What if doing chores could actually be fun?
Eric Ryan and Adam Lowry used $90,000 in capital (their combined life savings plus some loans from friends and families) to launch Method in 2001. In the early days, when they were selling surface cleaner out of the trunk of their car, it seemed crazy that they were competing with global conglomerates. But despite those modest beginnings and the overwhelming odds against a newcomer in this category, Method caught on to become a thriving, beloved company.
Ryan and Lowry attribute most of their success to their seven “obsessions”-the principles at the heart of Method’s business philosophy and culture. They include:
* Kick Ass at Fast: use small size to your advantage. By bringing innovations to market faster than your large, bureaucratic rivals, you can always stay one step ahead.
* Inspire Advocates: Rather than fighting costly battles for market share by trying to appeal to everyone, foster deeper relationships with fewer (but more loyal) customers.
* Win on Product Experience: Beyond satisfying your customers’ rational needs, try to design experiences that touch them on an emotional level.
The Method Method captures the irreverent attitude that makes people love the company. Ryan and Lowry don’t hesitate to tell stories about their failures as well as their successes. And they show what happens when giants realize that some scrappy startup is daring to do things not only differently but better.
