A writer’s battle map
Let’s learn how to build something that matters, starting today, right where you are.
It Starts With a Problem You Can’t Ignore
Every invention begins with a moment when something feels wrong or incomplete. Gregory Dockery didn’t accept “good enough.” When he saw flaws in tech and communication systems, he asked, “Why isn’t this better?” That simple question sparked ideas that pushed him to explore, sketch, and imagine solutions others overlooked.
Try, Test, and Fail
Great inventions aren’t born perfectly. They grow through experiments, mistakes, and messy trial-and-error. Greg spent long nights at crowded workbenches, building prototypes that often failed. But each failure taught him something new.
Build Again, But Better This Time
After every setback comes the rebuild. Try to find the flaw, see how you can fix it. Rebuild it again and again until it’s perfect. Gregory faced many technical failures and betrayal or rejections from powerful companies, but he still rebuilt better every time.
Share It With the World
An invention matters only when it reaches people who need it. Greg moved his ideas from the workshop into the world, challenging industries and improving everyday lives. Sharing, presenting, and defending his work turned simple prototypes into technologies that changed entire fields.
