Entrepreneurial Drive: 7 Traits of a Truly Entrepreneurial Mindset (#1 TENACITY)

The first characteristic that successful people possess is tenacity. What does tenacity mean?

When someone has tenacity, it means that they don’t take failure personally and they will keep working, sometimes for years, to get the things that they want in their life.

When you have tenacity, you will never give up and will always bounce back when things get in your way and not quit when you run into obstacles or experience setbacks.

Instead, when you possess tenacity, you always try something that is new, or you try to find another, more straightforward, way to do something.

When others get frustrated, they often just give up and return to their old, comfortable way of doing things. This is not the case with successful entrepreneurs.

When entrepreneurs get frustrated or fail, they merely shrug their shoulders and continue to move forward with their plans.

You may be thinking that that’s because successful people don’t fail.

However, it’s not that successful people don’t experience failure in their daily lives; in fact, they are much more likely to have a continuous failure because they continue to try and try again, even after experience setbacks and failure.

The difference is that those who are successful have an understanding that failure is a fundamental part of the game and not something to warrant giving up on their dreams.
