manufacture your idea
into a product

I have not failed, I havefound lO,OOO ways that don't work.
-HT OMAS EDISON

When people tell you how they brought a product to the market­
place, no one seems to discuss in detail how they actually got it
manufactured. Everybody has a unique way of finding their manu­
facturing sources; often their journey takes one step forward, two
steps back, over and over, until the issue is figured out. To find a
great manufacturer, you'll need to do research, test materials, make
phone calls, and be resourceful. There is no one formula for finding
a manufacturer-you will have to find your own way through that

maze based on your particular needs. But I'm here to say you will be

able to do it and it will be a rewarding learning experience.
