Determination can be one of the key factors that …well, ‘determine’ whether you are going to fail, just get by, or see smashing success. It’s the ability to keep pushing through when things are tough, and then keep pushing upward when things get better.
Determination is much more than initiative. It is well thought-out, assertive action plan driven by a deep desire to succeed in your own business.
Determination generally makes the difference between actually starting a business and just talking about it.
Being goal-oriented is not enough; what you also need is the determination to make it happen.
Successful small business operators tend to believe strongly in themselves and their ability to achieve the goals they set.
They believe that events in their life are mainly self-determined and that they have a major influence over their personal destiny.
They possess an intense level of commitment to overcoming hurdles, solving problems and completing the job.
People with low determination will give up when the road gets tough. They get overwhelmed easily when things don’t go their way.
I work with women who are naturally determined types and have built resilience over the course of their lives. This helps them create a business and stick with it through the bad times. Determination is an attractive trait as they are able to get up after disappointment and take further action quickly to rectify and improve the situation for next time.
I recommend you look at yourself and determine how much determination you have access to, as this will be a major secret to your success in your business.
