Now if you have an example of someone that spent their money to open a business THEN went out and tried to find customers, lets hear it.
Igor Sikorsky who designed and built the helicopter
Thomas Edison who successfully designed and created the lightbulb
The Wright Brothers who successfully designed and flew the first aircraft at Kitty Hawk
Do you think that they sent out fliers, posted ads, or slapped down a stack of questioners to hand out to get someone's "opinion" before they thought it was a good idea? Imagine if someone approached you with the idea they believe they could create a machine that can fly like a bird, during a time when no such concept existed. Another with an idea to produce light without the need of wick and a flame, a task which was performed by only the lamplighters at that time? They each sought out private investors and simply followed an idea with no guarantee it would ever work or how it could be built. After their success stories and hard work, do you think anyone wanted to jump on that band wagon later and make use of that invention? Did innovation built from a simple dream actually create an interest among the people with possibilities that were never seen before? Did that interest in turn CREATE demand and a desire to mass produce it, thereby creating jobs? Do you want to try and reinvent the wheel by saying a business or an individual with an idea, can't possibly find customers and create a demand that would require the hiring of more people to mass produce a product?
