I've thought about this and i think it's analogous to becoming a performing artist. You have to either have a burning passion for something, possibly because you werent loved enough as a child, or a huge ego that makes you think anything is possible. Starting a start-up is mostly about taking a leap into unknown and hustling together a team and a funding. Correlated with sales know-how rather than technical know-how. And sometimes, if they are smart enough, they recruit to fill their deficiencies and survive to profitability. Sometimes their ego get the best of them and they cant see past their own lies and crater into ground. Nevertheless, you have to have ego. Due to supeority-complex or because you actually know what you're doing. Or something in-between.
