Thinking about being an entrepreneur? Having a great idea, finding the right location and acquiring enough capital are the tangible requirements, but you also need the ability to be a cut above the fray. Competition is too keen to allow for mediocrity. Whether you are an artist, an attorney, a scientist, a restaurateur, a baker, or a candlestick maker, your product or service must be exceptional. This month Bill Lulow writes about Bagel Nosh, an exceptional startup founded by a Jordanian immigrant in Livingston, New Jersey. Barbara McMichael’s article about the Graphite Arts Center, located in the small city of Edmonds, Washington, is a compelling look at artists as exceptional entrepreneurs. We also have a few recommended books that capture the essence of the entrepreneurial spirit. –Patricia Vaccarino
