You will have problems to solve day in, day out, every day you are in business. You must keep searching for a solution that is not just for the moment, but which is strategic and generic and forms a permanent solution to the problem. You should also realize that success itself is about persistence. Not genius or inspiration, or even abundant financing can take the place of persistence. The workplace is littered with failed geniuses or yesterday's stars who are today's old news.
Persistence is the fuel which keeps the engine chugging up the hill.
In the long run, it also helps to have integrity, to stick by your word with your employees and cllients, who will then stick by you and your company, in both the peaks and the valleys. But to keep chugging ahead, and get past those many speed bumps, you will definitely need a large dose of persistence. Whether it's a one person shop juggling a dozen outsourced tasks, or a multi-million dollar enterprise setting new profit records, thousands of women today have made the decision to call their own shots, take the heat and make the payroll. You are not alone. So, if you're ready, take the plunge.
