I normally really like this blog, but this post is puffy and superficial. You could replace "Entrepreneur" with "Eagle Scout" and, apart from TJ Watson, the post would still make sense.
Your point is well taken. Not every post on the site is a "How To", which I tend to like better as well.
Some are more inspirational. I do agree that this one has less 'meat' than some of the others, but I still like the description of the characteristics shared by many successful entrepreneurs.

"Maybe there is a strong correlation between Eagle Scouts and Entrepreneurs?!"
For the record, I'm an Eagle Scout, one of my co-founders almost was, and one of my other few friends who is also starting a company is also an Eagle Scout. Anyone else out there?
I don't know much about Scouts, but isn't the idea to be useful and effective in serving the community, with an emphasis on initiative, and getting done whatever needs to be done?
Isn't that pretty much what a successful entrepreneur does?
The "BRAVE" one differs, because the article talks about such confidence and optimism that one doesn't experience fear. Courage requires fear, as the article says.
The Motto reminds me of: "One word sums up probably the responsibility of any Governor, and that one word is 'to be prepared'"
