I've heard this expression used in the context of teams of people working on a project, but not in terms of entrepreneurship. I've heard a very smart principle engineer claim he would rather have a team of non-experts with the right attitude than a team of experts with the wrong attitude, essentially saying he'd rather work with a less knowledgeable team he likes than a team of very smart people he didn't. I'm not sure if this sentiment transfers to the realm of business management, where there are probably fewer opportunities to "learn on the job" and mistakes are more likely to be potentially ruinous to the overall enterprise. I think it's probably best to take this saying with a grain of salt. Is attitude important? Definitely, in the context of team cohesion and morale, but you don't want a bunch of dunderheads on your team no matter how loveable they are. In terms of business leadership I'm iffy on how much a good attitude can do for you in lieu of experience and knowledge.
