You know you're an innovator when...

• You have your best ideas in the shower.
• People describe you as tenacious and you're never sure if it's a compliment.
• For you, good enough is never good enough.
• You talk a lot but you listen more.
• You bookmark web pages, favourite tweets or tear out pages of magazines obsessively.
• You're regularly exhausted from the battle (but you get up and do it all again the next day).
• You think of ideas for everything (and it annoys you that you haven't got time to put them all into practice).
• Your friends are all cleverer than you.
• You keep snacks in your desk drawer.
• You praise other people's ideas rather than claiming them as your own.
• You're willing to take the hit if an idea doesn't work out.
• You share your successes.
• People ask you for advice and you end up learning from them.
• You wake up in the middle of the night and email or text yourself.
• Your favourite question is 'what if...?'
• You love change.
• The harder you work the luckier you get.
• You never feel like you've reached the top.
