About The Author
Eileen L Durfee
Eileen Durfee isn’t just an inventor. She’s a force of nature in steel-toed boots. She started as a nuclear quality engineer and built a career in America’s most technical, least forgiving spaces. But that’s not the whole story.
Severe health issues pushed her towards self-healing and wellness research, which lit the spark for a new life and dozens of product ideas. From detox devices to posture correctors and air purification systems, her creative and innovative solutions didn’t just stay on paper. They made it to shelves, patents, and even homes worldwide.
Today, she’s the holder of 10 U.S. patents and 6 international patents. Nearly all are in commercial use. More than a technical mind, Eileen is a mentor for those who think differently, solve obsessively, and build without waiting for permission. Her mission is to help others, especially women, claim their space at the table of invention.
About The Book
Invent It and Be Your Own Boss
Not every idea becomes a product—unless you know the steps that make it real. Invent It and Be Your Own Boss gives you a proven framework to take your idea from concept to commercialization, based on real experience and repeatable results.
Written by someone who’s lived every stage of the invention journey—from spark of an idea to design, patents, rejections, and finally successful commercialization—this book delivers the real-world roadmap no one else provides. No fluff. No complex jargon. Just a clear, actionable guide to help you take your idea out of your head and into the marketplace.
Inside, you’ll learn how to navigate the U.S. and international patent systems with confidence—without overlooking critical details. Discover how to avoid the costly mistakes that derail most inventors, collaborate effectively with patent attorneys, manage prototyping and production deadlines, and create a product truly worth protecting.

BOOK CHAPTERS
Chapter
Every idea is only as strong as its protection. This chapter sets the groundwork for why patents matter, not just legally, but strategically. Eileen walks you through the role of intellectual property, the cost of exposure, and the silent killers of good inventions: poor timing and loose lips.
Chapter
Ideas don’t arrive fully formed. They start as frustrations, half-solutions, or midnight “what-ifs.” This chapter shows how Eileen transformed her own health struggles and customer feedback into practical inventions. You’ll see how the Sauna Fix®, Enema Fix™, and Tri-Oxy® were born based on everyday problem-solving.
Chapter
Before you build, you verify. Eileen dives into the importance of originality. What does it really mean, how do you test it, and what happens when you skip the research (spoiler: it gets expensive). This chapter gives you a no-nonsense roadmap for patent searches, cross-industry validation, and practical prototyping.
Chapter
This is the inventor’s crash course in patent law, minus the law school. Eileen breaks down the three core pillars of patentability: novelty, non-obviousness, and usefulness. Real examples from her own patents show you what examiners look for, what qualifies as “unexpected,” and how a well-documented back roller or ozone diffuser can pass the most rigid scrutiny.

WHAT OUR READERS SAY'S
I’d been sitting on a product idea for two years, and this book made me act. Eileen doesn’t sugarcoat anything, and that’s what I needed. After reading her detailed patent breakdown and seeing her own prototypes, I realized I didn’t need a giant budget, just a solid plan and the will to start
The only book that actually showed me how to file a patent. I don’t wanna think what I’d be doing if I hadn’t gotten it.
Finally, a book that talks to women like we belong in the room. As a female engineer, I’ve often felt like the odd one out. This book made me feel at home. It didn’t just show me how to protect my ideas, but it also reminded me that my voice and perspective matter. And my designs are needed.
