One of my investors told a story about a company he invested in because the guys were Navy SEALs, and seems like they'd stick to their guns through the startup life. They caved after a little over a year... I tend to see a lot of the stick-to-it-tiveness in athletes, but a lot of times I see them doing a bunch of "reps" while essentially spinning their wheels. Good entrepreneurs are a perfect storm of many things, and they rarely start with all the pre-reqs. I think "Know thy self" and having a willingness to keep improving yourself is a big part of being an entrepreneur.
