Hello Everyone,
I just want to spread a little motivation. One of the biggest challenges you will face when creating something you want to take to market will be time. I am a married man, 3 kids, house, car, 9-5 job an hour away and work part time for 2 other companies on my computer at home. I still found the time to get my idea 3d printed and social media and website set up, patent sent out and contact friends and family to help endorse my idea. Its not impossible but you just have to push yourself to do it!!
Find any space you can and wherever you can. The first and best place to find the time is at home.
Yes the wife and kids will be upset that you're coming home from work and working all over again once you get through the door but they will understand if you explain how passionate you are about your idea. Try and find reasonable hours to work on things that won't seriously interfere with your home life. Once everyone goes to bed, get working!
Try and make time during your work day, either at lunch or during a smoke or bathroom break. Take those small breaks to let people know on social media or make little alterations here and there to your site or your invention, make any calls you have during lunch hours. Send emails the night before to talk with your 3d printer or manufacturer during lunch.
The weekends are your time to shine!! You have two full days to take some time and work on what you want to, use this time to the fullest extent!
Again, you'll have to find a balance, your boss won't want you sneaking away to take time for your own endeavors and you family will want to spend time with you as well. I'm here to tell you that your dream is achievable, even if your days seem super jam packed and it will get stressful at times, you can do it!!
To see how far i am now ( a year later) check it out here -
Thanks Everyone
Justin Greenough
