The Single Most Important Trait for Any Successful EntrepreneurYou may not be as technologically brilliant as Jack Dorsey or Aaron Levie, but you can adopt their intense competitiveness.

Case in point: Los Altos, Calif.-based Aaron Levie, the 28-year-old co-founder of online data-storage companyBox, now valued at more than $1 billion.
