It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter Proverbs 25:2
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. 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. |
