On: The #1 most important personality trait of an entrepreneur

> In her blog today, Penelope Trunk wrote that it really isn’t possible to know if your idea for a start-up is any good. I agree with her.

I think both of them are dead wrong.

Starting a company should come after the idea is evaluated from as many angles as possible and you have a confidence that the idea is good. Based on not just a gut feeling and a dream of being a founder, but on a research, planning and a feedback.

In this light the adaptability is hardly a #1 trait, the rationality, the sensibility and the patience are.

you can have a large degree of confidence that you idea is good, but you cannot KNOW it is good until you build it.

you cannot know anything for sure before it happens
