If you are an entrepreneur, why?
Serendipitously fell into it...

What's most frustrating and rewarding about entrepreneurship/innovation?
Most frustrating are the limitations imposed by financial restrictions.
Most rewarding is the freedom to build something you're passionate about.

What's the No. 1 mistake entrepreneurs make?
Try to do too much and make decisions based on their gut and not qualified data or analytics.

What are the top three lessons you've learned as an entrepreneur?

  1. Pace yourself and don't try to grow too fast.
  2. Managing people is an art and not a science.
  3. Never take anything in business personally...even when it's personal.
