Hello Friends:

Are you a budding entrepreneur with ideas on how to revolutionize the world around you? You are? Well then you’ll probably know how hard it is to be a person that has an idea that no one else has had. You, one man or woman, has an idea for something different, unusual… something “outside the box”. You alone, on a planet of over 6 billion people!!!!!!!!!! I’ve been through this. It’s hard to find someone to believe in you when you first have an idea. You’re subject to ridicule, catcalls, and sometimes even national parodies.

My name is Mark, the “Madman”, Madson, and I’m here to tell you that your dreams are not impossible. No, not at all! I was once like you. I had ideas for things like a Big Block Mail Box, or a Pro Street Racing Lawn Mower. I was much like you. I was excited because I could see in my head, how my idea could change the world. I was the only one that was excited. But I didn’t let that get me down! I persevered, and I didn’t give up!

Some people have asked me – What are you “Mad” about? I explain that I’ve long been known as the “Madman” because my last name is Madson – and because I’ve been known to do so many interesting and unique projects over the years, people think I am MAD for trying, and for that matter even thinking about trying to accomplish some of the projects I have created! But, it’s been fun… and here are a few of my larger projects detailed in my book:

But, you really need to read my book to get the full story on everything I’ve done.

“This book really isn’t about me and what I have done. It is about ‘YOU’ and every other creatively innovative person that will be reading it! We have all done similar things in our lives, and the important thing is to share them with others. As you read this book, think of the things that you have done in your life and write them down so you can share them and relive them with others. This book is only a reflection of the things that ‘YOU’ have done, and should be sharing with the rest of the world. Our life is determined by what we have left behind. These stories are the legacy that we owe to our children, grandchildren and the rest of our own culture as we know it. My main purpose in writing this book is to inspire you to write your book!” “As I’m sure you have already noticed, that this book is written ‘Upside Down and Backwards’ which is actually frontwards!!!! That way you get two books for the price of one!!! These seeming unbelievable stories are true. Although if someone told me these stories, I wouldn’t believe all of them either!!! That is why I included ‘The Proof with the Pudding’… ‘Full Throttle Creations’ lists the yearly high lights as a quick and easy ‘Preview or Review’. ‘Creations of the Wisconsin Madman’ fills in all the details with the actual newspaper and magazine articles, along with in depth information on how it happened”.

“This book is a mechanical autobiography of the creations of a ‘Madman’ for more than five decades. It started when I took the engine off my lawn mower, put it on my bicycle and left home for a week. The book is written the same way I have lived my life, ‘Upside-down and backwards, which is actually frontwards’. Most people are just ‘hitching and hoping’ going through life in that direction, that’s why I’m going in this direction”. “The book has two covers so that it will attract two completely different markets. ‘Full Throttle Creations’ attracts the ‘Hot Rod’ market, and ‘Creations of the Wisconsin Madman’ attracts the rest of the naturally curious and innovative people. The book is laid out and designed so that it can be read from either direction. One way the book starts out as a yearly ‘Preview’ of each project and ends with detailed articles and informational proof of each seemingly unbelievable project. You can also flip the book over so it is ‘Upside Down and Backwards’. Then the book starts out as detailed stories with a yearly ‘Review’ of each project at the end of the book”.
