Innovation

Once there was a guy named David. He loved cars and innovation. Innovation has to do with lots of things in life including buildings and cars. It means a new way of thinking of something or something brand new (Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary). One day David wanted a new car, so he went out and bought one. He bought a Tesla Cybertruck but there were a lot of problems with it, inside and outside of the car. David went to work using innovation to make it better.

He found out that you can put all new parts in it to make the car better and easier to use. David put a new V8 engine in it. David added leather seats with red stitching. On the outside of the car he added rainbow stripes to make the car vibrant and colorful. He took out the back two seats and added a couch and a roll down window in between the driver and the back seat passenger. In the back seat he added a mini fridge, a tv and a phone. In David’s eyes he thinks this is a good example of innovation.

After a while David connected with his friend Jacob. Together they started a car customization shop. Using their innovation skills they took old cars and fixed them up using innovation. People go far when they put creativity to innovation (de Jong, Martson and Roth). The first car David customized sold for almost two million dollars.

David and Jacob always try to make their cars as safe as possible. That is a big part of why they sell for so much money. Some examples are seatbelts, airbags and self-driving. They have contests and bring people in and see who has the best innovation skills to make the best car. The winner always gets a lot of money donated to a charity of their choice.

After two years in the same shop, they wanted to add another shop to their collection. They wanted to go big, so they decided to “go big or go home.” They hit the road to find somewhere out of state to build another shop. They went to five different states and still couldn’t find a good place to build a car shop. So they decided to go to California to find a place to build, knowing that people in California have lots of expensive cars and are always going to want them customized. They could also charge more expensive prices there because they know that people will pay it to make their car look cool. They finally found a place and built the biggest car shop anybody has ever seen, right in the middle of Chino Hill, California.

After a few weeks they were hitting it off. David and Jacob were making millions of dollars. They hired more people to run the business and work there for them while they sat around spending their money. David and Jacob’s innovation skills paid off!

They later expanded their business to more states. Five years later they are rich with more than one hundred shops world wide. David and Jacob now have mansions all over the world. They even have more money each than Tom Brady and Lebron James combined. They now have a legacy with their names engraved into it. Their shops are called David and Jacobs Customization Shop. If you were amazed by this go look up some other innovations.
