Summary

It was that aha moment....

And it changed their lives forever.

What sparks the inventor’s mind?

Deborah Chester had a dream about two tornados hitting her house. Then, it happened and she became homeless. Then, her husband had a dream. In his dream, the idea for the Rim Pro-Tec came to him.

Now, they are millionaires.

We all get hungry. Snacking can be serious business. Dan Ferrara hated the messy hands from finger foods, so he set out to do something about it.

He created Trongs. They let you get your nom, nom, nom on without the mess.

And who knew there would be a market for spandex bodysuits? Colin Grussing figured it out and was a guest on Shark Tank with his invention Root Suit. When they asked if he had made any money, he said, “Hell yeah.” In the previous year, 10,000 units sold for a profit of $104,000.

Have you ever had an idea? Could it change the world? Where do you go first? What will be your invention journey?

The following are stories of invention written by their inventors because their paths to success just may show you the way. At the very least, they will entertain and inspire.

Hard to listen to

I found this book very hard to listen to. It felt like turning the TV on at 4am and watching infomercial after infomercial. I expected more 'war stories' from the invention process but it felt a bit like selling. There are much better books out there on invention. This really just felt like one long advertisement for the contraptions that folks came up with. Unfortunately, the reading/production of the book made it very hard to listen to as well, the "S" sound came across very harshly in the recording and was almost grating to hear.
