Good question. One of the most common traits I noticed among successful people is that a lot of them think in mathematical ratios and efficiencies. For example, knowing how much the ROI is for each 100 or 1 mb block of bandwidth. In addition, they are able to extrapolate and come up with alternative "what if" scenarios. I think it is this ability that allows them to spot potentially profitable, not so profitable, and downright money losing opportunities.

Many also share the trait of not worrying about 'averaging' sunk costs that gets most people. They realize that for the loss it is and move on.
