Just want to add one more to it. so, 10.5.  Persistence I believe a lot of people aren't persistent enough when it comes to the start up. They aren't willing to do the grind it take to really be successful. In a society that has a lot of "get rich quick" stuff, many people want just that...to get rich quick. They aren't willing to go the extra mile it takes nor do they enjoy the journey. As you stated, it's not about the money, but the sad truth is that people really feel it's all about the money. Nice top 10 list. Just want to add one more to it. so, 10.5. 

Persistence

I have many years of experience with these type of stocks. I would like to comment about the start up of a new business and the high failure rate. I believe that one of the biggest mistakes that individuals starting a business can make is not trying to find ways of saving money. Saving money on rent advertising labor. Thinking up creative ways of conducting your business or promoting it that cost far less than most of the conventional ways of doing business can greatly increase your odds of succeeding. When small business owners inially begin their business adventure running out of captial or money is very often the biggest reason that many of these businesses fail after of course lack of knowledge about the business they are starting. Another thing to consider is starting a business that does not require a large start up cost. If you can find a business that requires little money to start up and if it fails then you will not have lost a very large amount of money' and remember their are lots of businesses out their that started out with just hundreds of dollars not thousands.
