Entrepreneurs: A Mix of Determination and Flexibility
Submitted by admin on Wed, 02/17/2010 - 00:31
In my experience, entrepreneurs are driven, passionate people. They are willing to run through brick walls to make something happen, if they believe that’s the best way to get it done. They have a vision of a successful business, and they will do whatever is necessary to make that vision a reality. That determination sets them apart from the majority of people, who quit after experiencing a setback. It’s easy to confuse that determination for stubbornness, but the two are not at all the same. A stubborn person is unwilling to change, even if the course they are taking proves to be the wrong one. Someone who is stubborn will often follow a path for years even after it’s been proven unfruitful.
To say that entrepreneurs are determined is much more accurate, because although they have a goal that they want to reach, they are flexible enough to try different ways of reaching that goal until they succeed.
It’s that combination of flexibility and determination that enables an entrepreneur to succeed, even when others have failed. Their flexibility gives them the ability to try new methods to reach their goal, while their determination gives them the strength to keep going after a setback.
