Success comes from perseverance

We have all done it - sat for hours reading the autobiographies of the world’s leading entrepreneurs, trying to glean all those invaluable insights into how to achieve success in business and in life. I was reminded of this recently as I was doing some research for an article I was writing, and I went back to read the story of Steve Jobs and the global business phenomenon that became Apple - now there is a success story constantly worth revisiting! He said something really interesting on the subject of what makes some entrepreneurs successful and others not that stuck with me, and it is something I have noticed myself over the years when meeting so many women entrepreneurs who have achieved success in their lives. He said, ”I’m convinced that about half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.” I think he is right - the women entrepreneurs I have met who have achieved success have persevered despite all the challenges they have encountered, all the failures they have experienced, all the hardships they have endured - they have persevered until they realized their vision. Success is hard to achieve, that’s why perseverance is such a necessary trait to help you get there.
