Blog by Kristen Ayres

If you want to be successful, you have to adopt the right mind set. Determine your goal, and then move forward with the necessary action to achieve it.

1. Can-Do Attitude
Success follows someone who works towards a goal to get things done rather than someone who waits for things to happen.

A Dreamer is someone who thinks of ideas.
An Inventor is someone who takes action on their ideas.

2. Persistence
The great successes are a result of tenacity and the mindset of never giving up. If you quit, you lose. Keep moving forward, big or small steps.

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” – Thomas Edison, inventor of the light bulb

3. Be Passionate
Your work is going to fill up a large part of your life. You need to enjoy it to perform at your best. You want to enjoy and have passion for what you’re doing.

If you love what you are doing, you’ll be successful.

4. Take a Chance
You’ll never know if your invention will succeed unless you try. Successful inventors calculate the risk-vs-reward; if it’s a winning equation they take a chance. Get involved and do the research.

“A ship is always safe at the shore – but that is NOT what it is built for.” – Albert Einstein

5. Be Boss!
This means you must go the extra mile. The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the effort you give. Effort leads to success!

“Innovation… the result of dreams and persistence!” – Edward Ayres
