There is a common thread that runs though all entrepreneurs, they have a burning desire to succeed at their chosen business, they have bags of determination and all of this is stimulated by a strong dose of passion. It’s about having the right mindset and banishing the words ‘can’t and don’t know how’ from your vocabulary. As Danielle LaPorte tells us ‘You’ll figure it out, just launch and learn!’.
