I think, in order to succeed, you have to love the actual path to success and not the moment when you eventually hit the finish line.

That is a good piece of wisdom right there. The journey is half the fun.

One of the best definitions of an entrepreneur I have ever heard is,

an entrepreneur is someone who jumps off a cliff and builds an airplane on the way down.

They have a goal but don't over think things too much. They figure it out as they go and enjoy the journey. If they tried to think of overcoming each possible obstacle they may encounter they would never start to begin with. They tend to do things that add value knowing the rewards will eventually come when they get it right.
