It is amazing how many innovators and inventors are busy trying to strike it rich, rather than to put in the legwork and the hard work ethic it takes to bring their products or innovation to market. One thing I have found as the coordinator for a think tank is that we are constantly learning about new concepts, ideas, and inventions.
Many of the people that come up with these great new revolutions are so busy trying to score venture capital to launch the next great big company (to get rich) that they aren’t willing to do the legwork in the beginning. Not long ago, I was hit up by just such an innovator for a couple of million dollars, perhaps, they saw me as a piece of red meat or an Angel Investor.
