The first step toward becoming a successful entrepreneur is to take a personality test, a managing partner of the company in other words bringing cellphone service to New York subway platforms told a group of NJ Tech meetup members at the group's most recent meeting.

"In my view, you cannot cheat your personality,” Alex Mashinsky -- an entrepreneur with Governing Dynamics, which founded Transit Wireless -- said at the March 22 meetup at Stevens Institute of Research in Hoboken.

Mashinsky was an early proponent, he said, of Voice over Iinternet Protocol technology however “got thrown out of some conferences” during promoting his idea because the voice service companies didn't want anyone disrupt their "cash cow.”
