PROBLEM SOLVING

What bothers you so much that you have mentally invented a product or created a solution? If you have not created an actual work around, then how much would you pay for the solution if it existed?

This weekend, solve a common problem that would make your life easier. Write down the major issue followed by a big vision void of obstacles. Draw a quick sketch if it’s a product or write out the functional characteristic if it’s a process solution.

Name it and possibly take it further and price out manufacturing costs or hours needed to create and implement a process solution. (This is where you fall down the research rabbit hole.)

There you go! You are now a problem solver and possibly an inventor. Shark Tank, here you come!
