Inventors – Make Your Passion Pay

Description

The book covers the top 10 areas that anyone considering a career in inventing needs to fully understand, before taking that next step.

1. Pay Rates: of course, you’re curious about what kind of money we’re talking about. Everybody’s got bills. Everybody has a dream home. We’ll help you reach that.
2. Agents: you may have never considered this for yourself, but you’ll likely need to hire an inventor’s agent later in your career. An inventor’s agent can play a crucial role in the growth of your networking, marketing, and overall success.
3. Unions: yup. The inventing industry has unions, and you should consider joining one. Why? Because you have no idea what you’re doing in the beginning.
4. Patents and Prototypes: you will need to develop a fully functional prototype in the later stages of the inventing process.
5. Use of Technology: You, my friend, have a lot of options when it comes to collaboration. Why? Technology has significantly expanded what is considered the workplace.
6. Business Questions: nobody is a professional overnight, even when conducting yourself with others. Missteps and mistakes are bound to occur.
7. Courses/Qualifications: inventing is not your typical career trajectory. Most parents don’t like hearing their kids say they want to be an inventor when they grow up. It just doesn’t seem viable to them. Where is the guaranteed income that other jobs offer?
8. Branding and Marketing: as an inventor, you, your business, and your invention are your brand, whether you know it or not.
9. Financing and Funding: it would be awesome if your invention became viral almost instantly, with massive lines at stores as soon as it drops. However, this success rarely happens overnight. It takes a lot of growth, hard work, and lessons learned from mistakes before your invention shoots you to the top.
