I could make a really long list of the attributes, attitudes and actions it takes to become an inventor or to continue as an inventor, but let’s start with my top ten:
- Tenacious or persistent
- Enthusiastic about innovation
- Calculated risk taker
- Good listener
- Not reactive/defensive
- Open to criticism / feedback
- Able to keep ideas to yourself
- Not afraid to fail / not afraid to succeed
- Generally optimistic
- Analytically minded / able to understand and author highly complex info
I plan to refine this blogpost over time. In the mean time, please leave me some comments or questions and feel free to take a look at the first patent I’ve worked on which is in patent pending and viewable on Google patents here:
