"successful innovators" lol. I have this idea that it takes more than one person to be successful. I think you rarely find the guy with the revolutionary idea and the guy that is the determine hard worker to be the same person. The ideas person is normally a dreamer and likes to change ideas quickly while the determine hard worker is diligent and hates change. According to Meredith Belbin - "NOBODY'S PERFECT - BUT A TEAM CAN BE" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meredith_Belbin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meredith_Belbin Although on the surface one person gets all the glory, it takes alot of persons to be successful.

>I think you rarely find the guy with the revolutionary idea and the guy that is the determine hard worker to be the same person. I disagree. The only way to arrive at a workable revolutionary idea is to iterate aggressively until you hit on a model that works.

  Absolutes... words like only...Successfully Entrepreneurs. Be reasonable and say for some workable revolutionary idea. You'll are creating a dogma about entrepreneurship. It only takes one counter example to brake your false notion of entrepreneurship. Facebook - when it came out was a hit. Google Search - they were good from the start, the interface rarely changed eBay - Unexcepted hit. [The majority of their iteration was done after they were successful] -There is something called luck. For people that arent superstars maybe you are right. All am asking is to be reasonable and say some, not all.

    You can't warn credibly against absolutes right after writing a generalization like this: > I think you rarely find the guy with the revolutionary idea and the guy that is the determine hard worker to be the same person. The ideas person is normally a dreamer and likes to change ideas quickly while the determine hard worker is diligent and hates change. These are caricatures that reinforce the false dichotomy between creativity and hard work.

      Rarely is not an absolute.Rarely leaves room for outliers, And before rarely, i added i think, making it clear i have no evidence to back this up. Only - is an absolute. You made no effort to indicate it was an opinion but you present it as an absolute truth.

      The main point of my rely was to go down with certain cliche phrase like 1% and 99%. And with the notion one person builds a company.
