Entrepreneurial Spirit –Polischuk

There's been a lot of news lately about entrepreneurs—from the movie "The Social Network" about the founding of Facebook to the premature passing of the legendary Steve Jobs.

Entrepreneurs seem to have a lot of traits in common, but several traits especially stand out to me—hard work, passion, and the willingness to "bet the farm." Many times, there's also a figurative, or even literal garage that serves as company headquarters. A reminder to us all is that, just like in sports, for every successful entrepreneur that hit the jackpot (or is making $10 million playing in the big leagues) there's maybe 100 others that lost the farm and are working in someone else's fields. It's the nature of the beast.
