The beginning! Every story has a beginning, yesterday my blog began, but the inspiration behind the blog began three weeks ago and the man behind the blog was born in the 80’s. My blog titled “The natural path of innovation - my road to becoming a billionaire” has been created to help track the progress of my ambition to become a billionaire and the innovative product that will get help me achieve this and the natural path I will have to progress up. This is not the first blog of its kind and it certainly won’t be the last. The truth is some will find it interesting and some won’t, FACT.
Why the title? Probably one of the many questions any visitor to my blog will ask. Well firstly my start-up business is all about innovation and business enterprise now, and the statement or phrase “the natural path of innovation” is something I have coined recently as I embark on getting my product idea from concept stage right through to distribution stage and hopefully become a billionaire, whilst doing it.
Yesterday my blog title was “necessity is mother of all invention”, how true could that statement be. History has shown us that all great inventions came about in one form or another because it was necessary for the inventor i.e. they were looking for an easier way to do something personally for them, or the inventor saw a need for the invention. I could start listing several inventions of our time that we all take for granted today, but I wouldn’t want to bore you with it all, my point simply being take a look around and reflect for a moment . . . . humans are one of the most innovative species on this earth and through technological advancements some amazing products have come into existence, and they all have a beginning story. Mine quite simply came about from a news piece about how UK households throw out more than £10 billion of good food in the bin each year. £10 BILLION!!!!! If food waste was on the Sunday Times Rich List 2008 it would be No. 3 right between Roman Abramovich (£11,7 billion) and The Duke of Westminster (£7 billion). Now not only that if we think of the under privileged and impoverished nations out there (sob, sob), how that wasted food would benefit them you have to think for a second and say “What a waste!!!!”. This news article led to a “eureka” moment and before I knew it was spending several hours research various solutions and then “eureka” moment no 2 hit! Why not have a “…” (wouldn’t you like to know!). Basically my product concept sounded good to me, further research indicated and confirmed there was a market for it, and low and behold, the innovation process begins.
What an educating process the last three weeks have been. I would not call my self the most academia person, but the amount of information I have learnt in the last three weeks, would be unlikely to be taught in a 3 month semester at Uni. I completely understand why Robert Kiyosaki talks about “street smarts”. What a learning curve it has been, and what a continued learning process it is going to be. The ups, downs, victories, losses, successes, failures, the joy and pain, agreements, disagreements, encouragement, scepticism and this my friends is all part of THE NATURAL PATH OF INNOVATION.
I wish you wealth, good health, peace and happiness
