Marcy has two passions. One is female inventors, the second is how we can help grow the success rate of inventions/products–she firmly believes that a major reason so few products/inventions ever make any money is because as inventors we spend 90% of our time and energy on the invention itself–and very little, if any, time and energy on getting it out there and building awareness for our product–and this true whether you’re planning to license your product or manufacture it yourself. Be sure to catch this show to learn what she does to make all the difference between success and failure.
