I confess...
I was reading through Gary Halbert's BORRON Letters and stumbled upon a thought.
What makes a GREAT inventor GREAT?
I have a few ideas that I'd like to share with you...
Perhaps I'm wrong. But I believe in this: a great inventor is only great if people know of his invention. As I heard somewhere: "there's no reason for your great product to exist if zero people know about it."
It makes me think that all great inventors had the following skills (and traits):
- They really understood the market
- They had a knack for selling
It's only logical that if you're not a student of the markets then it's hard to find the right invention people want and desperately need. If only you could tell what people really need, the problems they are facing and are already buying lot's of solutions for then you could find the product you could take and then improve.
But how do you become a "GREAT" inventor? If people know you and they know the things you've made you could be great.
To translate into current times:
- If you know how to find the problems lot's of people face
- If you can understand the reasons why they buy existing solutions
- If you could improve these existing solutions and source the product yourself
- If you could then efficiently bring awareness to your product
- If you could use effective selling skills to channel market's desire towards your product
- Then you could be a great inventor.

I feel like I'm stupid (kind off) a little.
What do you guys think?
