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

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

Frustrating is getting the attention of the right people and receiving sponsorship and/or funding. However, the rewards are that if applied, it will make a change in the way people use, spend, advertise and educate from family to business. If more attention was given I believe the consumer would make smart decision on how to eliminate waste and generate savings.

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

Rush to market, I believe if you have the right product that the market will open the door and if prepared you will be able to generate a benefit for the environment, economy and your family.

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

Patients, organization and research.
