What in the world do I mean by this? Well, most of us arm chair inventors out there have felt at one time or another that we have come up with an amazing invention. -Yet never got up long enough from the recliner to do anything about it. That is me, that’s for sure.

But imagine this is a great time to bond with your kids or a loved one. Let’s say you already have an idea in your head. You think it’s brilliant of course, so now it is time to get a plan of action together and go for it. If you’re not going to need any outside help, feel free to skip the patent portion of the process first and go forward with the design and prototype stage.

Now that you have gotten your idea on paper, maybe some mock up drawings, it is time to build your first prototype. You need to decide, and it would probably be wise, to go ahead and file for the patent. You do not want anyone to steal your idea while you’re working on it or having various components out sourced.

This whole process can be a blast especially if you have a son or daughter that you would want to take part in it with you. So stop sitting around, turn off the TV and have fun trying to make you dream a reality.
