The entrepreneur is his own boss and must be motivated to set and pursue his goals. He or she is also responsible for
              motivating others to work on the company's goals and reviewing how the company does it daily. Independence allows
              an entrepreneur to work alone without reporting, but he is also responsible for ensuring that the customer is always in
              focus. Providing high-quality products or services at the right price is one of the most important tasks for entrepreneurs.
              Perseverance

              Perseverance  means  not  giving  up  and  continuing  even  when  difficult  situations  arise.  There  are  many  challenges
              involved  while  running  a  business.  A  responsible  entrepreneur  overcomes  these  challenges,  learns  from  them,  and
              moves on, no matter what. Entrepreneurs need to stay optimistic and motivated when things get tough. 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.

              Open-mindedness

              Open-mindedness means being open to trying new things and being open to take feedback from others. In the process
              of starting and growing a business, an entrepreneur will try many different things. They will often need to consult others,
              such as market experts and peers for information and ideas.
              During this process, it is important to keep an open mind and to allow new thoughts and ideas come to you. This will
              allow an entrepreneur to learn from failures and continue to improve the business.

                 Study the following case study and answer the questions that follow:
                 Santosh makes handmade mojari slippers for men in Rajasthan. His whole family is involved in his business.
                 Santosh used to sell the mojaris in the local shops in Rajasthan. However, he was not able to sell many pairs.
                 He then tried to sell the mojaris by going door-to-door, but only a few people bought from him. He used to get
                 tired and spend more money travelling.
                 However, he remained optimistic and continued to go to more people to sell his product. He added new
                 styles, sequins, and embroidery to the slippers and began making them in different sizes. He even involved his
                 local friends who knew this skill in his business. Then one of his friends told him about becoming a seller on
                 ‘Amazon’ through which he could sell his mojaris without travelling to big cities. He immediately registered his
                 company and started getting orders. Earlier, he could sell a maximum of 60 pairs of mojaris in a month, but now
                 he sells more than 500 pairs every month. He even has a few overseas customers!
                 1.  Would you call Santosh an entrepreneur?


                 2.  Which statements show values that helped Santosh become successful? Name these values.

                 3.  Do you also possess these values?
