1308: Having an Idea That Sparks Your Fire with Kenny Kelley Founder and Owner of Silent Beacon LLC
Silent Beacon founder and CEO Kenny Kelley started his entrepreneurial career as a thrill-seeking Hollywood motorcycle stuntman and founder of Adrenaline Crew LLC, producing wildly popular videos and leading teams of daredevil riders in risky on-road hijinx that captured an enthusiastic worldwide audience both online and at high-profile events. When Kelley made a mistake on his motorcycle — while popping a wheelie, with his feet out over the windshield, going 70 mph on a public interstate — the resulting crash sent both his body and his life careening in a new direction. The idea for a wearable emergency-button device came to him as he was lying incapacitated on the side of the road. Kelley’s near-death-inspired appreciation of safety’s importance led him to form Silent Beacon LLC and create the namesake Bluetooth® wearable device that can contact any number, including 911, with a single button push. Kelley’s entrepreneurial life has gone from wowing crowds to protecting them, and he now lives for creating products that help people lead safer lives. “you really just need to put your head down and dive into it and make it an obsession. If you have an idea and it’s not an obsession and you just think of it as oh geez, I don’t have time to look that up, oh geez I don’t have time to make this, oh geez that… Then that’s the wrong idea for you. You need to wait until you have an idea that sparks this fire that Neil and I were talking about, this obsession that just makes you want to fight through everything to see it succeed. So you just need to find what works for you that you can spit as you speak and it just comes out as poetry”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-79C

The formula for fortune that’s a formula for failure. And the formula for success FFS is when you have an idea is put in the discipline of thinking about what product or service you have, your idea that people respond to and see how they respond to the price and service and listen carefully. And then make pivots, make your adjustments, test it, nail it then scale it, and then launch your product. Once you have real confidence in what you have done its you start out with a rifle shot on your testing, and once you got your formula down then use the canon and then execute….
