Why is there need for perseverance and resilience in entrepreneurship.
A man came to a site and he was looking for the position of a laborer so the people around thought he cannot offer anything and refused him the job, but he kept coming and one day the contractor decided to give him a chance to see what he can offer and he did very well more than other workers in the site.
Fortunately he was giving the role of foreman or chief laborer who organizes the way things will work in the site.
That is what perseverance can do, the Spirit of perseverance helps an individual to endure no matter how difficult and no matter how long it takes to achieve a particular goal.
On the way to success as an entrepreneur there must be set-backs, changes and also many adversities so the ability to withstand all that is known as resilience and this is the quality that is very important in entrepreneurship because there are must be obstacles.
When it comes to business there's always challenge on how to manage fund wisely, so to be able to navigate competition in the market as well as other market crisis only perseverance will help an entrepreneur to stay focused on how to achieve set goals and when there is loss of funds will help an entrepreneur to bounce back and adapt to the new situation of things managing what is at hand.

How to cultivate perseverance and resilience as an entrepreneur.
Before celebrating perseverance and applauding resilience those two qualities must be cultivated.
Steps to cultivate these qualities involves the following;
First make sure that as an entrepreneur you set achievable goals because this is the tip that will help you to remain motivated also try to break down all task into small attacks and monitor the progress to know when each task is completed because this will help an entrepreneur to have this feeling of accomplishment and progress.
Secondly always view any failure as a learning of opportunity.
When I started dealing on childrens wear my first request from a customer was around 200,000 naira and unfortunately all the clothes I delivered were either undersized or oversized , I had to use all my profits to make sure that I got all what they wanted.
I didn't view that as a failure rather I viewed it as a learning. And today I hardly make such mistakes instead I go with a measuring tape to be sure that I get exact size for all my customers, so as an entrepreneur I have never viewed failure as a roadblock rather as a stepping stone helping me to refine my strategies so as to meet up with people's want and achieve my own success, learning never stops.
Another way to cultivate this important quality is by surrounding yourself with supportive people that will always encourage you giving you confidence that you can do better, people who share same goals and purpose with you.
It is also very important to maintain both physical and mental well-being because this will help to sustain perseverance and resilience no matter the difficulty also develop self regulation, self awareness and vital social skills.

Creating some networking events is another way of celebrating perseverance like holding a seminar where an entrepreneur will connect with other entrepreneur and discuss more on resilience and perseverance.
