What is essential for entrepreneurial success according to Steve Jobs?

According to Steve Jobs, passion and perseverance are essential for entrepreneurial success. He believes that about half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from unsuccessful ones is pure perseverance. Without genuine passion for your idea or problem you're trying to solve, you won't have the necessary determination to overcome the challenges. Jobs emphasizes that building a startup is extremely demanding—an '18 hour day, seven days a week' commitment that consumes your life. The entrepreneurial journey contains many rough moments where most people give up. Unless you're truly passionate about your venture, you won't survive the inevitable hardships and will likely abandon your efforts before achieving success.
