6. Persistence
Persistence is what separates successful entrepreneurs from those who fail.
It doesn’t matter what your education was, your upbringing, or how intelligent you think you are…if you give up, then you are out of the game.
Persistence is why we see so many successful entrepreneurs who were never good at school or not even considered to be intelligent by the academics around them.
They were just the ones that didn’t give up.
This is what Apple Founder Steve Jobs believed as he always advised doing ‘what you love’; otherwise, there will be a tendency to give up.
When opening up a business, it is possible that most of the attempts may fail or may not go your way.
Someone with an entrepreneurial spirit doesn’t give up – instead, they want to see their failures or shortcomings grow into success.
Many things may not go your way – even some things you had great hopes for may fail.
What distinguishes a successful entrepreneur from the rest is learning from previous mistakes and improving their businesses.
