Your 2026 Start Button

HQ Weekly #55

Hello,

By the last week of January, most inventors aren’t short on ideas.

They’re short on clarity.

You’ve either just started…
or you started strong and hit resistance.
Or you’ve been circling the same idea, waiting for the “right moment” to move.

This week is about pressing START — with intention.

Not rushing.
Not guessing.
Not doing more than you need to.

Just getting aligned, then moving forward.

Tomorrow Night: KICKSTART 2026 — The Inventor’s Mindset

National Inventor Club presents a live-streaming event
All welcome · Free to attend

📅 Tuesday, January 27, 2026
🕖 7:00 PM ET / 4:00 PM PT
📍 Live Online

This is the primary event of the week — and one worth prioritizing.

Brian Fried, The Inventor Coach, is joined by David Meltzer for a focused conversation designed for inventors who are ready to move forward in 2026 — without spinning their wheels.

Whether you’re:

• Just getting started
• Stuck mid-process
• Rebuilding momentum
• Or resetting your goals for the year

This session is designed to help you re-anchor your mindset and execution.

What you’ll learn:

• How to set goals you’ll actually follow through on
• How to execute without waiting on others
• How to break through when you feel stuck
• How to set timelines and expectations that create accountability
• How mindset directly affects outcomes
• How classic Think and Grow Rich principles apply to inventors today

David Meltzer brings decades of experience as an entrepreneur, investor, and former CEO — and every conversation he’s part of delivers real value, not theory.

This is not a motivational talk.
It’s a reset.

This is where ideas turn into conversations.

You’ll have the chance to:

• Reflect on what stood out
• Ask follow-up questions
• Meet other inventors at similar stages
• Make connections that don’t happen during the livestream

If you’re attending the main event, plan to stay for this.

A Quick Perspective

Brian often reminds inventors:

Most inventors don’t fail because they lack effort.
They struggle because they try to move forward without alignment.

This week is an opportunity to reset your direction — and take your next step with confidence.

One Simple Reminder

You don’t need to have everything figured out to move forward.

You just need to start — with clarity.

We hope to see you tomorrow night.
