In my ealier post , I said that fearlessness is one of the traits that Dr Nandini mentions in her article in the "Entrepreneur".
I believe it is the ability to overcome one's fears, to not let fear cloud one's thinking, and not the absence of fear, that is important. And that requires training. And faith in one's capabilities developed through training.
Fearlessness is doing a trapeze act, without having trained for it.
As Andy Grove's book title says, "Only The Paranoid Survive". But it is paranoia that is under control, as he explains in the preface.
You need fear, "kyunki", as the ad for a soft drink has it, "Dar ke agey jeet hai" - because success lies on the other side of fear.
