Perseverance
Entrepreneurs have confidence in themselves and their businesses and carry on in spite of
setbacks, difficult situations and problems. They are able to take immediate decisions, but can
also exercise patience until a task has been completed and a goal reached. They do not lose heart
when they make mistakes or fail. Successful entrepreneurs have an intense determination and a
need to overcome obstacles, solve problems and complete a task. They are not intimidated by
difficult situations.
