🎧 Episode 125 – The Power of a Burning Desire: Lessons from Edison’s Partner


Listen Later

What does it take to turn your dream into a reality? In this episode, I share the story of Edwin C. Barnes—the man who didn’t just want to work for Thomas Edison, he was determined to work with him.

With nothing but a burning desire and a train ticket, Barnes started small—doing odd jobs at Edison’s lab—but kept his vision alive until his opportunity came: to sell Edison’s new invention, the Edison Dictating Machine.

This real-life example from Think and Grow Rich shows how clarity of purpose and persistence lead to extraordinary outcomes.

🎯 I’ll connect Barnes’s journey to your own as a homestead content creator. You have to believe your homestead can become profitable and that your content has the power to bless others. But first—you need that burning desire.
