I am among the 3% of successful independent inventors that chose to take on the challenge of developing an idea and making it a reality. I left a secure job, benefits, and retirement to pursue a new career based on my invention. At the Inventor Mentor Blog I intend to share what I learned along the way. It is not the only way; in fact my story is quite unconventional. But my hope is to inspire and support you in pursuing your idea and help you with the nuts and bolts of taking your invention to market.
An independent inventor is like a conquistador, exploring and navigating through uncharted waters. Are you a conquistador with the passion and drive to explore, but not sure where or how you will get there? Are you determined, committed and patient? Will you sail the rough seas and not take no for an answer? Do you give up or go the distance?
Have you done your homework; do you have your vision and dream in line? Are you ready to take some calculated risks and to overcome obstacles along the journey?
Some inventors possess entrepreneurial spirit and will take their inventions and turn them into a business, while other inventors are happy inventing and try to find someone else to take their ideas to market. Which one are you?
Please let me know where you are in the journey. Are you embarking or coming into port or have you wandered off course?
In future posts, we will be exploring and navigating the inventor journey together.
