What are the 3 most important qualities to have to be an entrepreneur?
I was thinking:
1. Drive (motivation)
2. Skills (expertise in field)
3. Experience (managing people or projects)

1.Time(you have to be willing to sacrifice all free time to make your idea work)
2. Patience (realizing that it may take a long time is virtue)
3. Creative ( make the best of any situation, good or bad it will help you in the long run)

You also need to be in touch with reality. Know when to shut it down and move on to something else.

Experience and skills are irrelevant. You can hire talent. The 3 most important are:
1. Long term vision – You must know how you want you company to look in the long run.
2. Ability to communicate well with others – employees, vendors, customers.
3. Leadership abilities – Inspire confidence in your employees and stability with your customers.
