Pilot Your Own Invention Development
The first secret to success is to pilot your invention's development. You have to be in charge of your own dream. You can't turn it over to someone else and expect it to become reality. You will need help from experts along the way, but always maintain control of your invention's destiny.
This concept (and the team building one) exposes one of the elementary faults of the invention promotion companies. They want you to believe that they are part of the team. Frankly, that makes as much sense as putting the criminals in charge of the penitentiary.
Piloting your own invention makes you the team captain. No one knows the niche better than you. No one can ensure that the project stays on track like you can. No one can make your invention successful like you. So what's stopping you?
