If you're an entrepreneur or corporate innovator, why?

I want to invent something cool.

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

Having the clean piece of paper to work with. You work hard to envision something no one has delivered before, build it, and then watch as others not only use it, but cherish it. What could be better.

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

Not building "optionality" into their plans. Leaving yourself multiple viable options in pursuing your agenda is very valuable in an entrepreneurial situation.
