Ideas...

My grandfather’s brother Dr Ed Woldman an Internist, Invented a drip method for ulcers in the stomach.
As a child around the age of 7, I remember creating a gadget that I adhered to my bicycle to hold my AM Transistor Radio on the handle bars. So now while I rode my bike I could listen to my radio without having to hold it in my hands and steer. That day I knew i wanted to someday have a product that everyone used and loved as much as I did riding around on my bike listening to my hands free radio. Ever since, I’ve been coming up with a multitude of ideas for products and haven’t really had the fulfillment of my dream. It seemed like every time I came up with a idea I would see it on a store shelve 2 – 3 years later which told me my ideas were viable and my products ideas were on the track. The last Idea I had I won a National Great Idea Contest and ended up manufacturing the product. I had a few sales, but only to find someone did something similar and hit the jackpot with it. I love it when I get a new idea. There’s nothing like that feeling of coming up with something new. It’s been 50 years since that first idea and I’m still thinking of new ones most the time. I was accused of day dreaming as a child by one of my teachers. I now take that as a compliment wear as before my teacher made it seem like a bad thing to do. I realize now, what I was doing was exploring my imagination.
