While working hard, an entrepreneur also needs to think about improvement and growth. Perseverance doesn't
mean doing the same process over and over again. It means finding different and creative ways to overcome
difficulties and always thinking about achieving the goal no matter what happens along the way. Confidence
means believing in yourself and your approach. Confidence helps business owners take the first step to start a
new business, and then try new things to grow their business. It encourages entrepreneurs to continue even if
they fail. Confidence also encourages business owners to visit customers and seek feedback on their products
or services. Feedback helps entrepreneurs further improve and grow their businesses
