Although informational, it appears to be vague and misleading at times.
The passion, and optimism should be shared by anone who wants to bring a success to the endeavor she/he is about to engage in.
The can do attitude is exhibited not by only the entrepreneurs, but people of of different dispositions other than business.
The "what do you care what other people think" is one of the ways of pushing your thoughts into actions.
As far as the the factor of risk is concerend, this is borne by any person/organization that is going to embark on some different objective that is not in line with the much comfortable route that can be taken. To assess risk by money lost/gained is certainly a criterion.
But, the risk should be assessed based on the opportunity cost of forgoing a possible "easier" alternative ,and heading on to a more riskier one. I think, business people ,as well as others can be seen do operate with this attitude.
To classify that only entreprenuers have this skill, and others are more risk averse ,might be a vast generalization.
To follow one's instinct without worrying much ABOUT the consequences and getting troubled by what others say/THINK, probalby, falls more in line with becoming a leader ,rahter than just an entreprenuer.
