Seven Tips For Everyday Inventors


Seattle Times:

1. You gotta believe: “The main thing is, when you have an idea, act on it, and it can start snowballing.”

2. Hit a trade show: “Get yourself to a trade show in whatever your industry is. It’s eye-opening. You can see what’s out there, how ordering works, who the key players are.”

3. Know the SCORE: “We found them online [www.score.org]. It’s an association of retired businessmen and women willing to help new business owners.”

4. Take your time: “Take it one thing at a time, one project at a time. Each part is a stepping-stone to the next. If you try to do it all at once, it’s overwhelming.”

5. Get legal help: “Don’t skimp on paying a lawyer who’ll file your patent and get everything right.”

6. Keep that day job: “The statistics are nine out of 10 businesses fail in the first year.”

7. It’s patent-ly obvious: For basic patent info, see the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
