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

Working on a shoestring budget without a lot of resources is the most frustrating thing about entrepreneurship. However, the people that you work with, the lessons that you learn, and the hope of success makes it all worthwhile.

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

Fail to adapt (or pivot, as it is so famously called now) and give up too quickly.

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

- It is all about execution.
- Persistence pays. If it aint working, adapt.
- Learn from your competitors. If they are doing better than you, it is for a reason.
