It takes a lot to be a successful entrepreneur. The article focuses on perseverance whereas the original comment mentions charisma. And there are many more, including availability of money. My experience is that charismatic entrepreneur can accomplish a lot with very little money (hence empty gas tank) if he/she has the right vision and the ability to organize and motivate (hence fume which by the way is incredibly combustible).
