Entrepreneurs embrace being at the forefront of change. And, just by being there, they make a difference.
They often live unstable lives. But as they boldly take risks, they'll make several mistakes which become valuable lessons for the rest of us.
Just this year, we've created new profiles, specifically for innovators, to express themselves by sharing their interests, lessons learned, as well as bits and pieces of their unique journey.
Today's entrepreneur is Ari Jacoby, CEO and founder of Newsletters.com, VoiceStar, and Solve Media. According to his VEQ, he is good at fundraising, product management and he is a thought leader.

I thrive on trying to solve big problems, and the start-up environment allows us to build products and change things everyday. There's immediacy and control over innovation.

3) Measure everything and trust your instruments.
Long-term success requires founders to prioritize perseverance, dedication, and consistency
