The long, ardous and lonely road to success.

I've always been a very creative person that came uprnwith some excellent ideas only to lose interest at not receiving immediaternrecompense. This made me give up and continue working at a steady job untilrnanother great idea got me up and running again. I ended up being 39 years old with a steady job but without my own company. I also saw many of my ideas come to fruition via other entrepreneurs with the same idea years later.
I never had the attitude to believe so much in my idea that I would stick to it until the world would also become convinced of my great idea; until "Phrazzle ME!"...

While teaching and learning languages I came to the realization that languages have definite rules and in many cases, regardless of being very different languages, such as Spanish, French, Greek and English for example, these all had the same rules. I decided to concentrate on the English language. I came up with a game that was very similar to Scrabble but uses words instead of letters. English as a second language students could learn the rules of the English language while having fun playing a game. I did my research, perfected it, made a few games and took out the necessary intellectual rights for it.
I have actually stuck with the idea for 6 years now, although I only launched it on February 17, 2009. Since then I have sold it in 29 countries, received achievement awards from the Chilean Government and have gotten approved for sale to the Ministry of Education of Nova Scotia, Canada.

By having a positive attitude towards what I intended on achieving, and having perseverance, I have met my short-term goals. There is still a long way to go but I have gotten past the loneliness stage (not many people give you a pat on the back along the way)and have stuck to an idea past the initial learning-to-walk stage as well.
I think the most important thing you can have is the attitude that comes from knowing that you have a great idea on your hands and not giving up on it. A great idea can take many years to reach the mass-market acceptance level. Keep believing in yourself and the idea and they will come...
