I especially enjoyed your use of defiance to describe how successful entrepreneurs must push past the doubts of others (and sometimes self-doubt as well). Reginald - I think you include a great point...being teachable and one's resourcefulness are critical components to success as a creative entrepreneur! Charlie- great post!

Reginald – I think you include a great point…being teachable and one’s resourcefulness are critical components to success as a creative entrepreneur!

I would add being "teachable" as another important trait. Entrepreneurs must be able to learn from a lot of different sources. Insightful. I would add being “teachable” as another important trait.

Funny to see "the way I am" all listed out, and the subtext is brilliant ('comfort or excellence' to me reads: "you can be excellent without being perfect" since I'm comfortable putting things off until I can have them perfect.) Thanks for that. And for naming all the stuff that comes naturally, although you remind me that I need to improve at Lean-ness (an elaborate system when a start-up isn't busy becomes a huge burden when business ramps up), and Moderation, but, um, I may put off tackling that one until I can get it right ~ tee-hee~ ! Thanks, and keep up the good works ~ ~GirlPie Oh!

All the things you are saying have been things I've felt for years. This way of life is so rewarding, but can be very difficult too. It's hard to get support when people think you sit at home eating bon bons all day. I also totally agree with your E-Factor assessment. When I started, I didn't have some of those characteristics, but they develop after time. You really need to possess most of them in order to survive. I wish I had something more to add, but I think you really hit the nail on the head with this series.
