“There is a trait common to most successful people: perseverance. Success comes to people who have the fortitude to endure failure, the resilience to immediately bounce back and the ego to keep trying. Entrepreneurs must remain unfailingly focused and passionately pursue goals despite ongoing adversity. Startups are tests of endurance. Like champion boxers, your ability to take a punch is just is important as your ability to throw one. You need a high threshold for pain, the stamina to last multiple rounds and a single mindedness to win. Get into the mindset; see setbacks as merely a battle cry and rally yourself to fight for survival. Confront your challenges and confidently drive forward.”
