Scratching my head and wondering what to write about. 
 
Each and every day we have to figure out what to do, what to make, and how to make it. No one puts in an order or a request, and I like that. I have had my own business since I graduated college, except for my five-year stint with the legendary toy invention firm Marvin Glass and Associates, and working there was much like being self employed. 
 
Our work as inventors is all speculative. We make what we want, and create what we will. Then we hope that someone will have a need for it and get excited enough about it to invest their hard earned millions in development, production, and promotion with the expectation of getting a return of millions on their investment in our idea.              
 
It is a crazy concept for a business, but somehow we make it work year after year. It requires a degree of irrational optimism of which I have an abundant supply. I hope we have something for one of you reading this that will make you tons of money when you bring it to market.
