My partner and I joked about the boats being nothing more than a hole in the water into which people poured money. This could result from the boat owner's having more money than sense, or from knowing exactly what they wanted despite what they wanted contrary to expert advice. Almost always it was because the boat owner did not have a well thought-out and written plan, operating instead by what seemed to look good at the time. Isn't it ironic that the very same holds true with an inventor? We will see the value of a carefully considered plan so we don't get sucked into that bottomless hole in the water.Have you ever played the game where several people get into a line and someone at one-end whispers a phrase into the first person's ear? What the last person hears often bears no resemblance to the initial phrase. How does this apply in out context? Have you ever tried to explain your idea and the person you are talking to just doesn't get it? You must be able to define your idea clearly, specifically, and in definitive terms that don't “get lost in the translation.”Exercise 0-1: Define your ideaWelcome to your first exercise. Let's keep it easy to cut your teeth. Answer the following questions as fully and completely as you can. Use sketches and pictures if you like.What problem in society does your idea address and solve?How does your idea solve this societal problem?What products result from your idea?”
