Author and life coach Tony Gaskins once said, “If you don’t build your dream someone will hire you to help build theirs”. This mantra undoubtedly echoes in the heads of all entrepreneurs.
But is this motto all it takes to succeed? For the lucky few maybe, but for most, it’s all about trial and error.
Former Chief Executive of Public Trust and author Tim Sole addressed the issue of persistence in his book Make Success Your Friend, “Laziness is the habit of resting before you become tired and success is often found between tiredness and exhaustion. If you give up a goal knowing that there is something you could have tried but did not, then you gave up too soon.” However, persistence alone cannot get you to where you need to be.
