Glad you are Happy. . . Unfortunately, the Wright Brothers were not much of a success story. . . they spent the rest of their lives fighting for their dignity. . .as companies like Curtis Air took their work and really made it fly. . . the Wright Brothers were disrespected by the aircraft industry and died broke. They were terrific mechanics and engineers. . .but the single thing that would have changed history would have been if they had hired a business manager/attorney early on. Then they could have spun their ideas into useable products that could have made them money. . . .while their attorney fought to defend their patents. Let us learn from their lessons. . . it isn't enough for these hot new internet companies to have a fantastic new idea. .. . they also need the business savvy to carve their piece of the market and turn ideas into earnings.
