Well, that's what we discuss in this episode along with the levels of entrepreneurship and how that is a much better way of understanding your relationship with your business and how to grow from here. https://howbusinessreallyworks.com/show/entrepreneur-type/

Hey everyone, Pamela here. I recently asked Tracy a question that I've been pondering for months: What are the top predictors of success? We all know, or are told, the things we need to do in order to be successful, such as not quitting, having a solid plan and long term goals, etc. But are there character traits or behaviors that predict success more than others? That's what I wanted to find out, and that's what Tracy and I discuss today.

This is the first in a three-part mini series on the subject because we found that we had so much to say on this subject that one episode would not do it justice! So here is Part 1, all about belief. Belief in yourself, belief in your abilities and in your ideas.

Let us know what you think about the predictors of success and about belief in general! We would love to hear from you! https://howbusinessreallyworks.com/show/belief/
