Q. Entrepreneurship Imagined: What Makes A Good Entrepreneur?

Entrepreneurship Imagined: What Makes A Good Entrepreneur?

Another installment of our weekly discussion - please weigh in with your thoughts:

This last week brought us the passing of one of the world's greatest visionaries: Steve Jobs. His creativity and ingenuity were legendary but what set him apart was that he always thought like an entrepreneur, something that all the members of the ImagineNations Network share in common.  

To get this week's conversation started, let's hear from all the entreneurs out there: what makes an entrepeneur successful? What sets a successful entrepeneur apart from everyone else? And lastly, why was Steve Jobs so successful?

I'll add two things to our discussion:

1 - A great article from tthe Wall Street Journal from almost a decade ago about how to solve the biggest problems that entrepreneurs face:

2 - Steve Jobs' famous Stanford University 2005 commencement speech - which is an inspiration for entrepeneurs out there who never give up and give it all they have:
