and must have the gumption to believe that you are the perfect person to be doing exactly what you’re doing. Well, if you are someone who enjoys work/life balance, values receiving a steady paycheck each month, isn’t self-motivated, isn’t comfortable with risk, and wants to become rich instantly, then perhaps entrepreneurship isn’t for you. But realize that building a business is like watching a new plant grow. If you’re obsessively measuring the growth of your plant every hour, you’ll be disappointed by its slow progress and might give up. By developing grit and gumption, practicing self-awareness, being humble, and remaining patient, you'll give yourself and your business the best chance at succeeding.
