I hate being a downer

I recommend you make one of those items and see if you can sell it online like on Etsy or something. I’d not borrow money and mass produce snd then no one wants it. You have to pilot it.

Also it’s very very hard to get a patent. You’d think you invented something unique just to find out someone already invented in Mozambique or somewhere else.

I’ve read this article about woman who invented poopuri of whatever that bathroom spray. Prior to that she spent her entire life on inventing things and building businesses and none stick. Until she came up with that. It’s life long work

I personaly only knew one person who actually had a patent. My grandfather had two patents. They were commercial industrial things that were used in chemical industry/chemical factories and not by regular consumers (he was chemical engineer mainly working in commercial paint production). One patent I remember was a device that helped to wash paint out of barrels in commercial paint production. But chemistry is something he spent his entire life on

Can you give us a hint what you invented? Please don’t borrow any money yet
