What's most frustrating and rewarding about entrepreneurship/innovation?

Most frustrating = Balancing personal life entrepreneurial life. I'm so lucky to be living the life I'm living, but sometimes I forget that with the challenges of entrepreneurship.

Most rewarding = Having a vision of how I can make the world a better place and then seeing that become a reality.

What's the No. 1 mistake entrepreneurs/innovators make?

Waiting for something to happen on its own. Nothing happens on its own. It takes brute entrepreneurial force!

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

1. Keep going. The difference between success and failure may come down to persistence.

2. You need an amazing team. Trying to do it on your own is suicide.

3. You need a little bit of luck. Work as hard as you possibly can, but have the humility to realize your success wasn't all you.
