For Drew Baldwin, perseverance is the most important element of entrepreneurship.

Baldwin is the founder and CEO of online video curatorTubefilter, as well as the creator and executive producer of theStreamys, an awards show for online videos and internet talent. Starting a business is no easy task, and Baldwin had to overcome feelings of self-doubt throughout his entrepreneurial journey. "I knew that what I was accomplishing wasn't all left up to chance, but hard work," he says.
