The first is their
passion for their
purpose.
Terry responded that
people who go into
business just to make
money probably won’t
be able to handle the
ups and downs of
being an entrepreneur.
However, with a
passion for serving
someone’s need, the
money will come.
The second is
having a go getter
willingness.
This means being
able to go after what
you want, getting out
of your comfort zone
and prospecting. Then,
also doing the follow
up and work to convert
prospects into clients.
The third is
resilience.
“It’s not all peaches
and cream in the
entrepreneur world.”
Someone that can
soar to success
needs to be able to
say to themselves,
maybe today it’s
not so great, but
tomorrow is another
day. With resilience
the entrepreneur
won’t be stopped by
the obstacles that
sometimes crop up.
Terry added a
fourth item, Faith
and Hope.
She feels that
everyone has been
put on the earth for
a purpose and that
purpose has blessing
and possibility
connected to it.
Without that you are
running in the field
without any hope.
You must always have
faith that a particular
endeavor is going to
work out because it
was meant for you.
