Bringing good people together is always rewarding; and to have the pleasure of being together on the set of a TV show with one of our clients who had an idea for a new product, along with the president of the company that manufactured and brought it to market, was extremely exciting. Our host was wonderful at asking great questions and bringing out the story of how a new product comes to be from three different perspectives.

From the perspective of the producers of “The Balancing Act,” their goal is to tell a good, interesting story for their viewers. From ours, it’s trying to communicate to the world about a methodology that I’ve invented that brings idea people, the inventing process, the manufacturer and the sales process all together to create something that will benefit the end consumer

Our methodology is an invention itself, and trying to educate and inform the world as to how it works is nothing short of a great challenge. The old methods may work sometimes, but they’re old school now.

It was wonderful to hear the president of the company go on and on about the value of how Davison puts together real, packaged product samples that can be walked right into their major retail buyers so they can make decisions. It was a great moment for me to watch something I invented (my methodology) being so highly touted by the people it benefits – my inventor and my corporate customer. The word’s getting out, and that’s exciting!

The interview can be seen on July 28 and Aug. 11 on Lifetime TV’s The Balancing Act, which airs at 7 a.m.

Well, it’s official — 150 products and packaging solutions invented by our clients and our own company have sold in 500 separate retail outlets and online stores. To reach that milestone puts a smile on my face, because it’s just more fuel to boost our belief that we can and will accomplish our mission statement.

I can’t describe to you how it feels for us to go to stores today and see all these clients’ ideas and our ideas right there on the shelves, again and again, proving that every idea and pursuit of an idea is worthwhile. I know and study the history of how things came to be in this country, and it doesn’t matter if it’s an idea about our political system, or for a new movie or a new product; it’s that entrepreneurial spirit of people willing to chase an idea that makes this country great. So when I see 500-plus stores have carried our new items over the past 20 years, I am filled with optimism about the future because we as a people have what it takes to chase it.

I never expected my clients to inspire me the way they do, but with each and every item on the store shelf, I reflect on that very first thought of where that new idea came from and the story of what drove that person to want to do something about it. Today, to be able to look back at the 500 stores and see what has been created from all these ideas is just beyond belief for me.

I know we will accomplish our mission . . . 500 stores is just a drop in the bucket – we won’t stop there. I know our team, and we will chase higher and greater numbers. We won’t rest until that “D” on the back of packages is a brand that everyone in the country recognizes.

Well, folks, this is an exciting day! Our new coffee table book about Inventionland is now for sale. I feel great about the initial feedback that’s come in from people regarding “The World’s First Inventionland.” We put the book together to inspire creative people, and we seem to have done so; their responses have inspired me. They love the photography; they love the whole concept of what we’re doing. That’s very rewarding, so I’m real happy with it.

Our country’s history is built around turning ideas into reality; and I think it’s pretty appropriate, especially in these challenging times, that we know there can be an even better future ahead of us. We want to continue to build ideas and inspire people to move their ideas from their mind to the real world. I hope seeing what we’ve created with Inventionland can in some small way inspire people to continue to create all sorts of good things for our future.

The book reveals the concept sketch in the front and then the end result on subsequent pages, some of which open out to reveal the scope of our unique design facility, including a 4 ½-foot-long, four-page centerfold! It’s important for people to understand that everything that exists started out as just an idea in the mind of an individual, as did my idea for Inventionland.

The methodology of idea to execution; to ultimately walk through your dream or idea, as we’re doing here, is consistent with some of our historical leaders who created and built everything around us today, such as Ford, Disney and Edison. As we stand on their shoulders and build a better world, we have the obligation to inspire the next generation to take what we’ve built and build something even better.
