A Successful Entrepreneur - Jab Till It Hurts: Chapter 9 - #128

Listen Later

If necessity is the mother of all invention, then tenacity is the greatest determining factor of success.


I have discovered myself to be tenacious, at times to a fault. I have a relentless tenacity that is so visible to everyone. My wife talks about it. My friends talk about it.

Failure doesn’t exist for me, because it’s not an option for me.


Besides tenacity, the other quality many entrepreneurs share, in my opinion, is the desire to always do more -- to one-up themselves. For me, everything is a game. Sales numbers, rewrite percentages, jobs completed... The game is always doing better than before. If I am not one-upping myself, the game gets boring for me.

Key Points from Chapter 9

  • One quality that will serve you well as you start and grow your business? Tenacity. Don’t quit.
  • Get up early each day and devote time to simply thinking and jotting down ideas.
  • Don’t wake up in the sweat of regret later in life by failing to act now.
  • Nothing feels better than helping people achieve their goals. As you grow, keep giving and helping.
