You have to think of the old saying "I am not trying to reinvent the wheel". What you want to do is make the best wheel you can make. It may have already been done similar but has it been done right? Once you have made this wheel, you now have to sell this wheel. Will someone want to buy this product or does your consumer already have a wheel they use? All of these questions need to be asked when coming up with your idea. Remember even if you are in innovator, you in fact are a inventor.
Try to think of these steps before you want to invent something. Your invention could be anything. It could be a type of meal, device or service. This mindset can be successful for any product or idea. Don't dwell on the creating something new, think about creating something brilliant.
