  1. Hi Don,
    I once again wanted to compliment the ingenuity behind your idea that you developed. It reminds me a lot of the BMW I8 and it's gasoline assisted electric motor. I agree that in this venture, the intellectual capital is the top resource. If you are able to get the license to use the idea and use it proprietorially, then you are set.

  2. Hi Don!
    I think you put together a great chart in this venture. The 10 resources you pick go along great with the idea you came up with. Intellectual capital would be the top resource because you want your own idea.
