Welcome to Our First Newsletter!
 We're so excited to share ideas with you as you begin (or continue) your "inventing" journey. Maybe you have an idea but haven't acted on it yet. Or you have a great invention and need to know the "next" step. We hope to provide you with real ideas that you can use each month, so that you can get your dreams off the ground!
So, let's get started... |
 Are You An Inventor?
What does it take to be one?
Ordinary people are coming up with great ideas every day. Inventions are simply solutions to problems. If you ever had a problem that you solved, you have the potential to be an inventor.
I will bet that many of you solve problems in your lives every day. If you can solve a problem for yourself, that's great! However, if you solve that problem for others, they will pay you and that's even better. You can make the world a better place by developing an idea that will make someone else's life better and get paid for doing so.
Have you heard of Sara Blakeley? She had a problem: she didn't like how her backside looked in pants. She started looking for a solution and started by cutting the legs out of her pantyhose and just wearing the control top part of the pantyhose. Sara not only solved the problem, but she went further and developed the idea.
 It took some perseverance, because it wasn't easy to convince people that wearing the top part of pantyhose was a good idea. But she believed in her idea and got a patent for it. Sara spent her extra time and her $5,000 in savings to developing the idea out of her apartment. She got her product produced and begin to make cold calls to small boutiques until one day she got the call: Oprah loved her new product. "Spanx" was born! Her new little company is now making millions of women happy, and Sara's company is generating over $250 million dollars in sales a year.
Every good idea starts with a problem. What problem is in your life, waiting for you to solve it? You may find that your problem is a blessing in disguise. Is there an idea in your life that is begging to be solved? Can you persevere beyond the dream killers and doubts that keep most people from fulfilling their dreams? Are you ready to become an inventor?

family who will tell you it can't be done. Don't let the dream killer excuses keep you from realizing your dreams! Give it a good fight, and protect your idea. Sometimes you even have to keep your idea to yourself until you have gone further in the process so that your friends and family can't discourage you.
