what does it take?

ever wonder what is the thought process of an entrepreneur, who has actually walked the plank and put it all on the line to try to create their vision?

this is a great article by someone who actually did it - Paul Graham, a developer of web-based applications, who sold a company to Yahoo! (among his other successes)

it's a unique take - and there's poignant commentary on the role of "environment" in the mindset of an aspiring entrepreneur.

paul graham has many excellent papers
written on entreprenuershuip, the many great insights.

He has been getting a lot of press lately around his Y-Combinator early stage venture firm. His papers are especially relevant for tech startups.
