I never thought 4 years ago that I would be the owner of a company that makes visual schedules. But one day as a stay at home mom two things happened simultaneously and I think they are a good start to knowing you are onto something. First, the best ideas are born out of necessity. I only came up with my idea because I was trying to solve a problem with my daughter. I never went into it thinking “I am inventing something”. Secondly, it has to work. From the very first moment I put an Activity Clock up in my daughter’s bedroom her behavior transformed. I saw first hand that this thing was miraculous. It was a big aha moment. Next was to search online and see how many of them there were out there. Lucky for me, there were none.
I started showing my mom friends and found myself getting lots of requests to make them. But there is one thing I will warn you about, EVERYONE will tell you you have a great idea b/c you cant count on anyone else to be critical. Therefore, I think it’s key to judge other people’s actions, not words. From there I just trusted my gut. I saw my daughter transform so I knew this had to be helpful for other moms. It took many years and lots of research but I finally made it to the point where I have a storefront and a product. I am still growing and marketing is my big challenge right now. But because I experienced the effect of my product in my own household, I lean on that memory and the feedback of my paying customers to keep me going forward.
