We get hundreds or thousands of ideas to make extra money every month. We think about and think about ways to make ends meet, pay the bills, and save the extra cash to do the things we love.
A select few of us, choose to take our ideas and do something, we figure out how to make the ideas work, take Thomas Edison, he had a great idea, electrically generated light...and 10 000 try's later, we have the incandescent light bulb, and then someone thought I could make this better, and we have florescent lights, then CFL, LEDs, and who knows what is next.
What great ideas have you had that you acted on, what rewards have you received, what challenges did you face, what kept you going?
What is the best idea, you ever had, but never got around to?
Sincerely and With Appreciation.

Hi there CJ
Well, I love innovating things, you know, just basically improving on things that are currently in the market. I once made myself a gadget to hang my headphone by using an empty Vitagen bottle and the hard cover of the foolscap. It worked out for me, as the radius of the bottle was big enough to hang it. So I consider this as successful.
Another gadget I made myself was something for me to hang some of my pens and pencils. Well, it worked out fine at first but after some time, it begin to tear and I can only hang 2 to 3 pens instead of 6. LOL! But, every failure is the route to success isn't it?

Just so long as we choose to learn from our mistakes friend. Like take me, I mistaken thought, I would just save up my emails for a few weeks, not it is a daunting task.
Good to hear of your innovations though, that is thinking with a desire to live an easier life. Perhaps you can use some kind of sturdier material for your pen hanger.
Sincerely and With Appreciation.
