Learn From Edwin Barnes, A True Rags To Riches Story

By Gavan Wall

“There is but one thing in this world that I am determined to have, and that is a business association with Thomas A. Edison. I will burn all bridges behind me and stake my entire future on my ability to get what I want.”

Are you determined as Edwin C. Barnes? For those who aren’t aware, Barnes achieved this goal if his-he could work the greatest investor of all time. From nothing, he could get where he wanted to be. There were doubts and rejection from people around him, but he didn’t let them distract him. He persevered, saved up some money, grabbed the opportunity, mustered the courage to pitch to Thomas Edison, and finally partner with him. Very inspiring. Discover more about Edwin C. Barnes’ story when you tune in!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Edwin Barnes wasn’t rich and didn’t have any established network who can help him. But he said to himself that he’ll be working with Thomas Edison, the greatest inventor, whether or not he likes it.  “Massive action put you where good luck will find you.” Barnes was very determined to make this happen. When the opportunity finally knocked on his door, he instantly grabbed it. He’s got nothing, but he saved up all his earnings just to aid in selling Edison’s Dictating Machine.  “I do not wear thirty-one suits of clothes entirely for the impression they make on other people; I do it mostly for the impression they have on me.” – Edwin C. Barnes Edison’s dictating machine sold thousands of pieces. It grew rapidly that he had to establish his own business, Edwin C. Barnes and Brothers, to keep up with the demand.

BEST MOMENTS

“How many of you have one foot in commitment and the other foot in the safety of land?” “You can’t achieve anything of significance if you don’t have a plan and a made-up mind just like Barnes’.” “We all have this ability inside us. The big question is whether we wish to go all in for our desire.”
