Hi everyone
Firstly thank you for the inspiration and priceless information that you have all shared on this forum.

I have a job, it's not a bad job but I don't want a job.

I have an idea, I have come up with a product which is not available and would appeal to multiple markets.
I have drawn sketches, researched materials and read everything I could lay my hands on regarding inventing, prototypes and marketing.

Feel free to shoot me down if necessary, I literally sat up for 7 hours throughout the night when this idea entered my head. I couldn't sleep, I was so motivated to get this made and I do not want to lose momentum.
I don't want to be an idea person, I want to do it! I want to do it now!

Can anyone who has successfully thought up an invention, had a prototype made up and had successful sales please give me a bit of an idea about the steps taken and the correct order?
I don't want my hand held but I would really appreciate a bit of advice from those who have taken this path.
What do you think of these companies that "mentor" inventors, help with prototype production etc? Obviously they don't do it for free, I'd like to do it myself but is that wise?
Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks
