It’s a painful truth, but the fact is that most businesses fail. 50% go under within their first five years, and by ten years, only 33% remain. What are the common behaviors that the survivors share?
They’re tenacious, stubborn, and unapologetically persistent.
These are entrepreneurs that refuse to lose. They look every challenge squarely in the eyes and forge ahead, undaunted. When they lack ability, they make up for it with dogged determination. When business sours, they make their own luck by chasing after every opportunity and turning over every stone.
So show up for yourself. The rest of the world might tell you to give up, but don’t listen. After all, if you fail, it isn’t the rest of the world that suffers — you suffer. Be persistent, pursue your dreams unashamedly, and your business can make it five years, ten years, and far beyond.
