One of the biggest issues in our nation with innovation is that many of the people who come up with some very cool contraptions, inventions and technologies are tinker types and they do not have much money, as they never really gave it a very big priority in their lives. Rather it seems their ideas and concepts that make the man, or woman and let me tell you there is no shortage of brilliant innovative women in this nation.

So what can America do to help these garage entrepreneurial innovative geniuses? Many do not have the budget to see their dreams, concepts, sketches or plans to fruition. This is a very common problem, the number of garage inventors in the US is huge and each of their projects needs to be considered and matched with capital, entrepreneurs and such.

As the operator of an Online Think Tank, I see this issue way too often. And although that is not our specialty, that is to say finding funding for such projects you never know maybe we should see who in the group is interested or has contacts?

Meanwhile, it is important that all garage inventors make sure that they are protected with either a poor man's patent and/or a non-disclosure agreement of some type. Perhaps a sketch book, which is signed and dated as they go? You see ideas and concepts can come from any industry sector, walk of life or garage.

I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.
