Determination

I am begginning to think that the single most important characteristic an entrepreneur can have is determination. Sure a great idea and team are fantastic, being visionary and having the ability to execute, pitch, and sell are fundamental, but when it comes down to it, simple determination may have more to do with your success than any other characteristic.

Just food for thought. Here's some more from one of my favorite companies, Despair.com.

Stupidity - Quitters Never Win, Winners Never Quit, But Those Who Never Win AND Never Quit Are Idiots.

Sacrifice - Your role may be thankless, but if you're willing to give it your all, you just might bring success to those who outlast you.

Procrastination - Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.

Persistence - It's over, man. Let her go.
