10-18-21: Are you tough minded enough to succeed?

Success doesn’t happen overnight, and it almost never happens with the first idea you have or on your first attempt to create something new. Just about every wildly successful person you can think of went through some failures and often lots of failures. Stephen King had his first book “Carrie” rejected 30 times, Bill Gates failed with a  business of traffic data analysis software that hardly worked and Sir James Dyson designed over 5,000 vacuum prototypes before landing on the famous Dyson bagless vacuum design. If you are going to succeed you’ve got to be tough minded, you have to be willing to fail and you must be able to have people tell you “no” and still keep trying.
