Entrepreneurship

What’s one thing you wish you knew about entrepreneurship?

How hard it is. I know this might sound obvious, but as a society, I think we make entrepreneurship seem really glamorous. You hear stories of people who started from nothing and made it big, and it’s not as common to hear about all the entrepreneurs who failed, not to mention how the sacrifices and tough decisions you have to make can take a toll on your personal life.

Know who to listen to and be very careful about the advice you take. Everyone wants to give advice, but you have to know whose advice you’ll take.

That entrepreneurship is not a job, it’s a career and it’s a life choice. Once you go down that path, you are making a decision that could impact the rest of your life.
The Most Important Traits for Entrepreneurs:

What is the most important personality trait for entrepreneurs to have and why?

1. PERSEVERANCE.
Being an entrepreneur has a lot of ups and downs—maybe even more downs than ups. It’s a roller coaster. I try to remember that every hour presents a new opportunity to keep moving forward rather than dwelling on what happened in the previous hour.

2. A GROWTH MINDSET.
Every day as an entrepreneur is different than the day before. You need to be OK with trying something new and learning something new. When my co-founder and I started the company in 2014, it was just the two of us and no customers. Now we have more than 500 customers worldwide and the journey to get here has made my role very different.

3. HUMILITY.
Starting something of your own means you have to be not only the boss, but the safety net. No one wants it to succeed more than you. There are going to be nights when you get to do really fun things, but more often than not, you are going to have to miss them to clean the bar mats. Having a realistic view of one’s self makes those moments more rewarding and less of a sacrifice knowing there is a bigger goal to achieve.

4. RESILIENCE.
Without this characteristic, one will not last long enough to prove a business productive. By nature, startups require failure daily. When pioneering a new process or product, finding out what not to do is just as critical as defining what to do. Being able to recover from failure often and well is what distinguishes many successful founders from those with the best intentions.

5. RELENTLESSNESS. 
You have to keep pushing the ball down the court. Not only does this increase your chances of success, it also inspires those around you to do the same.
