The #1 Reason Why Most Inventions Fail (It's Not What You Think)
A great idea isn’t enough. History is full of brilliant inventions that never made it because execution—not just innovation—determines success. The real question isn’t “Is this a good idea?” but “Can I bring it to life in a way that works?” Market validation, strategic planning, and persistence matter just as much as the invention itself. Ideas are common—what you do with them is what counts.

But before you pour your heart, soul, and savings into development, you must validate your idea. This crucial step separates a promising dream from a potential disaster. Idea validation isn't just about asking your friends and family if they like your idea (though that can be a starting point). It's a systematic process of testing your core assumptions about your invention and the market.
