What are the characteristics of a successful inventor?

Answer 1

Externally a successful inventor is defined by LUCK and GOOD TIMING.

Internally an inventors DNA is spawned of an unbridled CURIOSITY.

To turn an invention into a success an inventor needs to display a healthy dose of SELF-DISCIPLINE before CLEAR VISION is gained and STRONG COMMITMENT TO A GOAL is developed.

FINANCIAL SMARTS and a measure of PRACTICALITY must be at the basis of every decision.

Then a "CAN DO IT" ATTITUDE, supported by DECISIVENESS and PERSONAL INTEGRITY, helps propel the project toward completion.

Finally, FOCUS ON THE GOAL and PERSEVERANCE, based on STRONG MOTIVATION and innate LOYALTY, must kick in, to see it through.
