Inventors
Throughout the invention process an inventor must push aside the
"no" men and doubters who clog every pathway. The adage 1%
inspiration 99% perspiration is true. Rugged persistence is a
necessary ingredient for success.
Each proceeding step in the invention process requires geometrically
greater investment in time and money. The inventor should listen
attentively. Why does this person like this invention? Would she
actually buy it. Would he actually use it? What price? What
features?
There is no room for
emotion when analyzing a project's merits for the marketplace. If at
any point the inventor concludes that the market will not support
the invention then either a) the invention must be changed or b) the
project should be stopped.
Even when every signal is a bright green "go", the road is hard and
uncertain. Don't be afraid. Be informed.
