Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

Hello. Almost 3 years ago I had a dream and the first place I went for information was the startupnation book and website. My dream is now a reality and I am the proud inventor with my husband Gregg of Thumball.
 
So I am back and I can offer words of encouragement to new inventors, share our experiences going from concept to company to patent to product to here.

Now we are poised for great growth and new challenges have arisen as they should. I am self teaching myself the world of social networking and blogging. Our website is slowly being revamped.
Our trade shows go well but we now need to connect with larger distributors. Our product Thumball is so diverse and multi-functional that it can be marketed as a toy, game, novelty, promotional product, educational tool, therapeutic method, gift and corporate trainer`s favorite thing.

So I hope to get some clarity from members on avenues to pursue or avoid in order to grow our company, share our story, spread the word about Thumball and enjoy this very cool community of creators.
Peace,

What a totally cool idea!!  For everyone who says "all the good ideas have been took," all they have to do is look at products like yours to see that inventiveness and inspiration are everywhere. 

Hello Rich,

Yes I am available on Monday to do radio with you!

My husband Greg is as well if that fits the bill.
Let me know the details and we will gladly share what we know
and what we hope to learn next.

Startupnation has expanded in so many great ways. Congratulations.

Thanks for the welcome and your invitation.

Hi Craig,

We too believe there are infinite ideas out there just waiting to be realized.
When you tap into that energy life becomes so fun and meaningful.
