I am a(n):
Entrepreneur
If you're an entrepreneur or corporate innovator, why?
I want to invent something cool.
What's most frustrating and rewarding about entrepreneurship/innovation?
Most rewarding is when a customer gives you an unsolicited testimonial about how great your product is. Most frustrating is when everything is going to hell and nobody seems to care.
What's the No. 1 mistake entrepreneurs/innovators make?
Thinking that if you invent a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door.
What are the top three lessons you've learned as an entrepreneur?
Persistence, patience, and something else that starts with a "P".
