Some believe that the entrepreneurial spirit can’t be learned. That entrepreneurs are born, not made. But when you consider it logically, this idea is wildly flawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s like believing, if your mother language is Polish, you could never wrap your head and tongue around a language like English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or if you ate junk food, played video games, and didn\u2019t exercise for a long time, then you could never become a disciplined martial artist or marathon runner later in your life. The same goes for business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, some people might be born with the ability to throw caution to the wind and pursue their business dreams, despite the risks and challenges that lay before them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, no one can prove that this type of “spirit” can’t be learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And sometimes, what fuels the hunger for success, and your persistence as a result, only presents itself later in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, if you’ve lost your job and are running out of savings. Or, after years of working for a boss, you decide that a 9 to 5 job isn’t for you anymore. Determination for something more, something better, something of your own, takes over your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hollywood movie star, Will Smith, is famous for “blaming” his success, not on the skills he was born with or who he knew, but on his unwavering persistence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one of his inspiring videos, he drills home the message that your skills can only take you so far in life – no matter how impressive they may be. Your persistence, which you construct throughout your career and life, makes all the difference to your success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
