I concur. I see all these startups where I know I can do much better on the technical side, but I'm just not enthusiastic enough about the subject matter to actually put the time in to do it.

It seems like a lot of these start-ups are the founders' first tries at something big, so they make a lot of mistakes; but since it's new and exciting to them, motivation wins out and they actually accomplish something.

I really admire their enthusiasm and stick-to-it-iveness.
