- Passion. There is an overwhelming desire and belief in the product and the vision.
- Clarity. They see in detail what the product and company will look like.

- End Result. They have a vision of how the product and company will look like one, three, and five years from now.
- Overcoming Obstacles. There were challenges that they had to overcome such as lack of money, disbelievers, and the amount of work to be done.
- Drive. They have an insatiable force that moves them forward every day.
- “Ah-ha” moments. There were moments or thoughts that made them realize that this was a good idea.
- Encouragement From Others. When they presented their idea to others, there was an agreement it was a good idea.
