I always thought that it would be cool to be an inventor like Ben Franlin was. Being an inventor that solves the world’s problems is a very noble profession. Especially back then when inventors were discovering many new things.
In order to become an inventor, you need to definitely look at things a bit differently than everyone else. You need to think of problems and how to invent things to solve these problems. It is amazing when you think of things like an inventor does and realize that a lot of things can be reinvented and made better or more efficient.
Also, being an inventor this day and age means that you need to be a good business person as well. Knowing the in’s and out’s of marketing your ideas and inventions to the right people, like investors, is a must to get your invention and name out to the masses.
The best inventors solve problems. What problem are you going to solve?
