Remember Carlson's 17-year efforts to make his copy machine (Xerox) a reality and
Thomas Edison's 10,000 experiments to invent the light bulb. The
powerful lesson from many great inventors and entrepreneurs in human history
is--Never Give Up! Even if everybody keeps telling you to give up and
to get a life beyond your dreams, you should remember that negative people
and negative reinforcements are only barriers
to transforming your new ideas and dreams into reality.
Many famous
innovators refused to give up regardless of how many times they failed
to sell their inventions. Many of them took a
great deal of risks in their personal and professional lives for the sake of
their creative endeavor.
In their endless efforts
to license or sell their inventions,
these innovators approached hundreds of companies, attended invention
fair or invention show
and made hundreds of telephone calls.
But, they
knew that one can never be sure of how long it will take to succeed in their
efforts. And so,
they never gave up their dreams. They smiled when friends and relatives would ridicule them and
say "how is that big idea coming along"? They were heart-broken when
some companies said that their new ideas or inventions were not worth considering.
But after the
initial disappointment they became more determined to prove that those
companies were wrong. So they worked even harder to market their
inventions and to transform their dreams into reality.
All the negative people and negative reinforcements could not destroy
their spirit of endurance, perseverance and resilience. They remembered the famous quote
"Most people succeeded just one step beyond their greatest failure."
They kept on
trying and did not allow the rejections and negative reinforcements to kill
their hopes and dreams. They took every obstacle as a
challenge to overcome. They picked themselves up after
every rejection and kept on working even harder.
They deeply
believed that one day, the right opportunities will present themselves and
will open the doors to their hopes and dreams. They sincerely felt that the
right company, investor or marketer would realize how their new ideas could be turned
into successful products, services or business entities.
In the
end, their confidence, perseverance and hard work helped them
market their
inventions and
turn their dreams into reality. They realized that they had been approaching
all the wrong people or companies who failed to see the possibility in their
new ideas. And then one day in a magical moment, the
right person or company had the opportunity to see their inventions and instantly recognized the vision of
greatness in their new ideas.
For many
industries, the best new ideas are not generated in-house, they come from
outside and from innovators such as yourself. Although all companies
engage in in-house product development, the smarter companies also search
outside to augment their resources of inventions. Investors, marketers and idea
commercialization firms also help innovators develop their new ideas for
market introduction.
Many such
companies and investors are regularly searching our database to locate
suitable new ideas for purchase, licensing or joint-venture deals. We
sincerely hope that one of these companies would license or buy your inventions and
transform your dreams into reality.
