Ok, folks, it’s story time.
Like him or hate him, you can’t deny that Thomas Edison is one of the most famous inventors of all time. Throughout his career, he held over 1,000 patents for his inventions, ranging from the phonograph and motion picture camera to the electric light bulb, arguably his most famous invention.
Edison was almost as well known as a businessman as he was as an inventor, and many credit his aggressive business tactics as much as his creative mind as the reason for his success. Whether you view him as a visionary genius who transformed the world or a shrewd businessman who wasn’t afraid to muscle out the competition, one thing is certain: he had tenacity.
And this is the story of Edison I’d like to focus on today.
