Wow, that’s a lot of tips. Some good information. For me, the ideas just seem to hit me. Call it a flash of inspiration. I find it helpful to seed my mind with all kinds of different stimuli.

One day I saw a pizza cutter shaped like a shark. I showed it to my 12 year-old son and we stated to brainstorm at the breakfast table.

I designed my invention and sent it off to a major housewares company. I should have and answer in a couple of weeks to see if they are interested in licensing it.

Nice blog, I will be checking back often.

These are extremely valid points to consider when, how, why creating a business.

The other important point is to have fun in what you are doing.

Thank you

No one mentioned the classic text on that subject — Peter Drucker’s “Innovation and Entrepreneurship” — which is still available on Amazon.

I really agree with everything that was posted here. I especially like the fact that there needs to be a prototype made. This is very important. You can get the feel, function and design all done just by producing a prototype. In today's day and age it is very inexpensive to produce a working prototype. They have so much technology it would make it so easy to get this done! I also like the tip that says you need to be unique and also find a niche. Those are great tips! * DMLS – Direct Metal Laser Sintering
