Things to remember
  • Many inventors think of a great idea and immediately see a pot of gold. This is NOT the case.
  • You need a huge commitment in time, skills and effort.
  • Be prepared to learn more about yourself — including your strengths and weaknesses.
  • There are many steps and each step must be completed, you can’t miss any.
  • Set goals and make sure you keep track of how you are going.

Do…

  • start reading up on what is involved in developing your invention.
  • surf the Internet to broaden your understanding of the marketplace.
  • consult and share your plans to get the support and commitment of your family.

Don’t…

  • Give up and don’t think that this is too hard! This is a challenge and an exciting one!!
  • Tell the world about your invention, keep it to yourself until you have protected it appropriately.
