In the event that you were squeezed to depict the cliché business visionary, which words would you use? Enthusiastic? Devoted? Hopeful? Without a doubt, those apply.

OK, that was a little harsh. But really, it’s a valid and oh so important question. As entrepreneurs, we can so easily get derailed. The temptations are many, and they center around one thing.
