    This is the time of year when our thoughts turn to ringing out the old and ringing in the new. It’s the time for wiping the slate clean and starting over; a time for new beginnings; a time for making New Year’s resolutions that, while spoken with the best of intentio
    According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
    ns, are usually forgotten by the time the black eyed peas are gone.

    It’s the time that we look back at the carnage left in our wake over the past year and vow to do things a little different, maybe even a little smarter, in the year to come... yeah, right.

    lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

    While I’m a firm believer in goals, I’m not a big believer in New Year’s resolutions; mainly because it has been my experience that most resolutions are repeated year after year a

    As entrepreneurs, our resolutions often lean toward the busines

    One of my resolutions/goals for 2007 is to start a mastermind group. Starting a mastermi
    easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi
    nd group doesn’t mean that I am assembling a team of super villains to plot world domination (that comes in Q3).

    A mastermind group is a collection of entrepreneurs who meet on a regular basis to talk about their businesses. They discuss problems, resolutions, marke
    nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically
    ing, customers, trends, products - anything and everything to do with their businesses. The point is to listen to each other and offer input wherever possible, with the thought being that advice and ideas from other entrepreneurs will help you think of new things, so
    and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ
    lve problems, and grow your business faster than if you were doing all the thinking yourself.

    So how do you start a mastermind group? How do you choose whom to invite into your group? Let me detail the formation of my own mastermind group and you can use that as a
    ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi
    uideline for forming your own.

    I started by making a list of those entrepreneurs that I did business with in 2006 that had the most impact on my business. For example, Paul Finley of FINS Marketing, has been my marketing consultant for a couple of years now. He not

    only handles all of my traditional marketing, but has also become my manager of sorts. He works to promote my columns and radio shows on a national scale and will be the point man for promoting my new book when it comes out in the spring. Naturally Paul was my first
    dd to the challenges in developing combination products:

    Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
    Which combination prod
    choice for the group.

    Then there’s Jim Houk of DreamMaker Entertainment. Jim is my go-to guy for video recording and editing. Jim managed two large projects and several small ones for me in 2006 and proved himself to be an invaluable part of my team, so asking Jim
    cts are meaningful and rational?
    Which therapeutic categories to select?
    Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?
    Do combin
    o join my mastermind group was a no-brainer.

    Next was Darin and Marianne Windham, of Windham Entertainment. I met the Windham’s when they were students in my entrepreneurial class at Biztech and we knew our businesses perfectly complimented one another. Windham beca
    tions increase the patient compliance?
    What would be the developing cost?
    How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen
    me the booking agent for my speaking and public appearances and I can even book my travel through their website. Again, a no-brainer.

    Then there was Robert Lutrick of VectorSuite Studios. Robert is who I rely on for graphics and photography. And Paige Rucker of Du
    t?

    As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel
    ham Advertising. Paige is an expert at media placement and one of the best marketers I know.

    Do you see the thread that runs through here? These are all people who proved to me that they were true experts in their fields and that I could rely on them without hesita
    ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

    Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust
    tion. Each of these businesses also compliments the other; they are different cogs in a common machine.

    Part of my goal in bringing these diverse businesses into the mastermind group is that they could also work together on projects that do not include me and thereb
    y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products
    increase their own contacts, portfolios, and bottom line.

    When forming a mastermind group start with those entrepreneurs you know well and do business with on a regular basis. Choose businesses that are complimentary (not competitive) to your own, that service the
    .

    As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de
    same markets and customers.

    And just for fun you can add a little diversity by inviting in entrepreneurs that are not in your industry, but are seasoned business vets who are full of good advice on business topics in general. The point is to help each other, to get
    elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.

    Companies that provide selfless information through particip
    ultiple brains thinking on one topic, and in the end to make everyone’s business stronger and more profitable.

    So add starting your own mastermind group to your list of New Year’s resolutions for 2007. And if you only manage to keep one resolution, this should be it


    tion in industry events and feedback to regulatory authorities would be able to face the challenges and will be successful in developing combination products
