Success in entrepreneurship is rooted in self-creation rather than self-discovery. Founders should focus on developing their identity through daily habits, decisions, and the pursuit of knowledge, rather than waiting for a moment of enlightenment. Key traits sought in founders include intelligence, which entails a deep and practical understanding of their industry; energy, crucial for enduring the challenges of startup life and maintaining perseverance; and integrity, essential for establishing trust and ethical standards.
