Michigan Engineering has produced a parade of successful entrepreneurs. Their ideas and entrepreneurial passion have put people to work, supported families, enriched education, inspired thinkers and doers, affected governments and bolstered economies – they’ve made an impact on the world.

We asked three of them to answer four questions relevant to entrepreneurship and their success:

1  What’s the most important question you ask yourself  before attempting an entrepreneurial venture?

2  What is it about entrepreneurship that gets you most excited?

3  What’s the most important thing you’ve learned about being an entrepreneur?

4  How do you measure your success as an entrepreneur?

Here's what they had to say.
