Entrepreneurial success is somehow related to character. There are many books/blogs defining, or trying to figure those things out. I distributed a game called "Button Masher" on the TI-83 to class mates in the 8th grade. You hook up two calculators.... and mash the "Up" button as fast as you can to see your bar reach the top. I didn't make any money because I didn't charge, but the thought crossed my mind. I think it comes down to a couple of things, whether they are all/some sufficient/necessary probably depends on experience or personal anecdotes. That said, here is what brought me to it: 1) The unbound desire to create something without a rubric. 2) The internal joy one receives when that created something makes someone's day. 3) The motivation to act when you see something and say "I could totally do that better." So to me, 'making money' comes down to: wanting to prove to myself + desire to help others = profit. edit: formatting.
