Hi, my name is Jim DeBetta.
Over the past few years, I have been approached by thousands of entrepreneurs who had a common problem. They were unsure of the proper steps of developing a product and bringing it to market - despite the numerous websites & books that were available. This took me by surprise, since I thought that with all of those resources it should be easy to get accurate and current information. I WAS WRONG! Since so many people were longing for one place that could provide critical accurate knowledge they needed to succeed, I decided to take everything I have learned in nearly 20 years of business and put it in one place - right here.
Realizing I am not an expert in all fields of product development, I sought out the leaders in everything from patent protection to public relations and formed my Inner Circle. Today you can have access to top experts and myself and learn nearly everything you need to succeed in one place - the Academy for Entrepreneurs.
I created this site in order to share what I learned while bringing my products to the market place. It was hard work and I figured there had to be people out there from whom I could have gotten information that would have made the whole process so much simpler. Once I learned all the ins and outs I decided to become that person for everyone else. To learn more about me read my bio.
When I started years ago, we didn't have the technology we have today, but let me tell you the "rules" haven't changed. The game is still played the same and perhaps a bit more ridged because there is so much more competition between the retailers themselves and the products they put on the shelves. This is why...
The Academy for Entrepreneurs, which is an exclusive "members only" club, takes you inside the exciting and often mysterious world of building a consumer products business for maximum success. Are you ready to learn what you need to be successful?
I have done it all. Made the mistakes, fumbled, got back up, shook it off and got back in the game. Today, I am proud to say I am a recognized expert in the field of sales and marketing to major retail stores and catalogs. Because of my tough lessons, I can give you special access to strategies, tactics, and information that people pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars for.
I know you are looking for success...whatever success means to you. I know I did. What it meant for me was having the time to spend with my three sons and my incredible wife. I have worked hard to get to this moment, but it was worth it. I get to walk my boys to school every day and be with them when their day ends. What is success for you?
Your success will come soon enough, but it doesn't come to those who sit still. It is time to hustle! I want to help you on your journey. I have created tools to keep you motivated, templates and strategies to keep you moving forward in the steps of inventing, and the information that will save you money, time, and energy.
