How hard are you really working to call yourself an inventor? Do you work on your inventions every day? Is inventing your job, or is it just a hobby? My point is this. About five years ago my wife said to me, “your’e a good inventor, what if you invented full-time?” God, I love this woman! It was on, and I ran with it all-out. I was so excited, I only slept about four to five hours a day. On the third or fourth day, I realized that every two days that I slept only 5 hours, I would pick up an extra half a day of inventing. So, for every week of sleeping four to five hours per night, I picked up two full days of working on prototypes. I turned a normal week into a nine day work week.
I have been working a nine day work week for about four years. Yet, this post is not about the time I have invested in inventing, it’s about a woman that invested in me. How can you let someone down that believes in you like that? YOU CAN’T.
I wish every inventor had a wife just like mine. Dorothy is truly AMAZING! She is my biggest fan sent from above, and all those PB&J’s were so special because we ate them together. Thanks for believing I could do it. I love you babe, InventorMan.
