Realize that persistence pays off. Understand that from the get-go there’s rarely an easy path to success. You will encounter many challenges as an entrepreneur, but if you refuse to give up, you’ll succeed.

There are many people who fail to accomplish their goals because they give up too early. They don’t have the personality and the hard work necessary to persevere to see them completed. So here’s why perseverance is so important and how to gain it:

It helps you stay focused on your goal. When you know what you want, but you haven’t achieved it yet, you may get distracted. On the other hand, if you do know what you want, then you won’t be easily tempted by distractions that would take you away from your goal. This is why you need to keep yourself in check when you feel like giving up.
Persistence also improves your work ethic. It gives you valuable wisdom and motivates you to keep trying. As a result, you will not only set achievable goals for yourself, you’ll also learn what works and what doesn’t.
You’ll develop the knowledge and increased intelligence required to succeed, while avoiding setbacks and mistakes that lead to failure.
You can discipline yourself by saying, ‘No’ to things that are stopping you from reaching your goal. For example, you can refuse to do assignments, or accept offers or requests that will distract you.
