Fort Myers, Florida is the home of the best inbound marketing agency in the country, Impulse Creative (hey, we're a little biased). It was also a home of someone whom I think has a lot in common with Impulse Creative. That person is the famous inventor Thomas Edison.
Thomas Edison and his good buddy Henry Ford would winter in Fort Myers and bought a property located on the Caloosahatchee River in 1885. Edison and his famous work ethic toiled way endlessly in the Fort Myers laboratory, trying to come up with a formula for synthetic rubber. That work ethic and his quotes about success are why I think Impulse Creative and Thomas Edison are cut from the same cloth. Here are some Edison quotes that I hope will inspire you, followed by a few modern day words of wisdom from the Impulse Creative team.
