The Journey of An Inventor & Patenting Ideas – Part 2: Attributes, Attitudes & Actions

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:

1. Tenacious or persistent
2. Enthusiastic about innovation
3. Calculated risk taker
4. Good listener
5. Not reactive/defensive
6. Open to criticism / feedback
7. Able to keep ideas to yourself
8. Not afraid to fail / not afraid to succeed
9. Generally optimistic
10. 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:
