Great distinction that is often overlooked. Could you / anyone elaborate on the key skills required in building a company? (aside from the oft-mentioned virtues of hard work, focus, and perseverance)


There are just a few general things:

1. The ability to curate a clear vision for the company and its path to success;

2. The ability to take that vision and turn it into an an actionable, real-world plan, with clearly defined roles for any staff necessary to execute it; and

3. The ability to sell the company's vision to others - investors, employees and customers/users.
