Lesson #14 Perseverance
In business nothing is ever the same as in life. Employees come and go. Clients and customer come and go. Partnerships are built and they dissolve, etc.
It has been my experience that successful people are those that are comfortable being uncomfortable. They are willing to meet challenges heads on because they look at challenges as opportunities to become better. And if nothing else they know that if they don’t meet the challenges head on the consequences could be severe.
The ability to step into challenges and PERSEVERE on through to the other side is a trait required to be successful in business. -
