1. As the saying goes “men become great mariners when sailing on troubled waters, not
calm seas”, thus persistence is a vital characteristic or skills that an entrepreneurs must
possess when facing particular hurdle in a business. Entrepreneurs are more likely to
experience mistakes than others. In this kind of situation, persistence is crucial for
entrepreneurs in order to sustain their business. When they give up too early, they
cannot learn from their mistakes and their business will be more likely to suffer a
failure. Many companies experiences failure because the owners or the main decision
makers are not willing to go extra mile to make the business a success. Even so,
business failure teaches invaluable lessons for entrepreneurs that can be applied by
them in their next journey, in this context persistence is still a vital key so they won’t
fall into the same hole twice. In addition, business failure oftentimes leads to uncover
more opportunities for entrepreneurs, as some of the biggest discoveries and inventions
have often taken place after difficult situation was resolved.
