Rejection. We fear it, hate it, dread it. Whether it’s asking that special someone to the senior prom or submitting your idea to a company, rejection is both an unfortunate and inescapable occurrence.
But you can own it.
I can hardly begin to detail the loads of rejection I’ve received over the past twenty years - I’m certain I could wallpaper my entire home with all of the letters I’ve collected. But contrary to most people’s belief, rejection doesn’t have to equal the end, the finale. You CAN turn rejection into positive action.
I enjoy answering the question, “So, what do YOU do?” almost as much as my three children dread responding to it. Their dad’s nine to five defies any conventional answer - every fill-in-the-blank, every “circle the appropriate category” and “check the right box”. Hell, I’m not sure I know how to define what I do justly.
I dream creativity- I sleep, breathe, and eat creation, often to the detriment of my home life and the exasperation of my wife.
I am an inventor, a product developer and director. And there are few tasks
I haven’t undertaken to bring those creations to market and success.
You don’t always need a prototype, but sometimes you do. And in many cases you can make a protoype using just paper, an Xacto knife and a color printer.
Stephen hopes you get a little inspiration from his video and realize that you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars to make a prototype for many ideas!
