Today, I want to share some thoughts with you regarding your mindset.
One of the things that really sticks with me is about one of my favorite books telling a story about a guy with the last name of Barnes. Most people probably don’t even remember him. He was the right-hand man of Edison. All of Edison’s stuff states, “Invented by Edison, installed by Barnes”.
The story of Barnes started whenever he was penniless. He had absolutely nothing. He went blind-baggage. We don’t know what that even means anymore. He traveled with the livestock, crates, and stuff on the train. He was in this car where the doors and windows are shut.
He goes the whole way without anything. He barely had the money to buy a ticket. He shows up at Edison’s doorstep. Edison was famous at this point. He said, “I’m here to see Edison.” They finally let him through because he wouldn’t go away. He told them that he would wait.
He goes in and sees Edison. The guy had nothing. He smells bad and was horrible. He went in to Edison and said, “I’ve come here to work with you.” He didn’t say that he was there to work for him. He told him that he was there to work with him.
