Winning once is easy, doing it through adversity is the real test of an entrepreneur
By Jon Gillespie-Brown | July 28, 2008
Spotted this great video on failing and risk on Brad’s excellent blog and every aspiring entrepreneur should take this video to heart – they will need a ton of courage and persistence to make their life a success.
In my book “So you want to be an entrepreneur” the no.1 trait for entrepreneurial success is persistence and this often comes through many failures – small one’s along the road on the current project or bigger one’s in your past. The key is to accept the risk of failure and to try your best and focus on your outcome – then triumph through adversity!
