These are Lessons from Thomas Edison-Edwin Barnes Partnership, as adapted from 'THINK AND GROW RICH Napoleon Hill.

YOU CAN THINK YOUR WAY THROUGH.

Thomas Alva Edison was an American inventor and businessman.
He developed many devices that greatly influenced life
around the world.

He invented the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and the long-lasting, practical electric light bulb.

Edwin Barnes was a young man from Midwest.
He was poor with little education. He had a burning desire.

A desire that pushed him to make history
fame, and wealth for himself.

Barnes' burning DESIRE was to be Edison's PARTNER,
not an apprentice or employee.

POOR Barnes with no money, no connection, No education, no experience wanted to PARTNER with a world-famous inventor, Edison.

With his burning DESIRE came OBSTACLES. Barnes KNEW his obstacles but wasn't DISCOURAGED by them.

He didnt have t-fare to travel to meet Edison. He neither knew Edison nor had any idea of what to offer to become Edison's partner.

DESIRE is a mere impulse of THOUGHT. But with PURPOSE, PERSISTENCE and DETERMINATION mere desire becomes a powerful propelling FORCE.

Barnes' DESIRE was DEFINITE. He wanted PARTNERSHIP with Edison

Barnes' PROBLEMS were DEFINITE
-POVERTY and lack of KNOWLEDGE

Barnes went RADICAL.

He wouldn't let his BACKGROUND put his back to the GROUND. He travelled by FREIGHT TRAIN to meet Edison.

What is that ODD BUT POSITIVE step you must take today to SURMOUNT your CHALLENGES? THINK, IDENTIFY and LIST them today!

Barnes met Edison. What he got was a TRIVIA TASK not a PARTNERSHIP.

Barnes was glad to have the chance to display
Edison's merchandise where potential buyers could see them

For over TWO YEARS Barnes display the merchandise without any outstanding success.

Barnes KEPT AT this till his OPPORTUNITY came.

What different story men would have to tell if only they would adopt a DEFINITE PURPOSE and STAND BY THAT PURPOSE until it had time to BECOME an all-consuming OBSESSION!

Edison invented a dictating machine NOBODY WAS WILLING to sell. Barnes OFFERED TO SELL ediphone. Edison gave him the chance.

Barnes didnt only sell the dictating machine but also
got a contract to distribute it worldwide.

Most times, OPPORTUNITIES come to us DISGUISING as
MISFORTUNE or temporary DEFEAT.

It takes PREPARATION and DETERMINATION to unveil POTENTIALS in all PROBLEMS and identify the SOLUTIONS embedded in all CHALLENGES we have.

'Made by Edison and installed by Barnes' finally brought the
PARTNERSHIP Barnes had always wanted. Barnes made up to $3m from the PARTNERSHIP between 1877-1900.
That's quite some fortune right there!

Barnes had NO MONEY
Barnes had LITTLE EDUCATION
Barnes had NO CONNECTION
Barnes had no PRIOR EXPERIENCE in sales

Think deeply, look within you right now
Do you have money to pursue your dreams?
Are you educated enough to reach the height you wish?

Do you have those contacts that can elevate you quickly?
Have you been rejected many times for lack of experience?

Regardless of what you have made yourself to believe
