Entrepreneurs should avoid procastination for it is the grave in which opprtunities are buried, when you fail to summon courage on time, opportunity may pass you by.
Perseverance
To Persevere means continuing in the course of action without regard to discouragement, oppositions or previous failure. The bible does not promise us a life of instant success, the road to victory is often long and dificult, but Jesus helps us to continue faithfully. There is nothing so fatal to character as half-finished tasks. Determination leads to success, never relent in your endeavour, keep cracking the nuts untilyou get the kernel. Dont's ask whatif it doesn't work,ask what if it works, your struggle may be lasting but it is not everlasting. Don't die until you are dead, you may have to fight a battle more than once to win it. Avoid excuses, trying times are no time to quit trying. Embrace perseverance cos one of the best principle ever preached is NEVER GIVE UP
Forgiveness
This meansletting go, it is among the godly virtue that builds up the growing christian youth. according to the Bible it is understood as God's promise not to count our sins against us. He who angersyou conquersyou, Forgiveness frees one from the stronghold of anger. There is no revenge as sweet as forgiveness. those who hate you don't win unless you hate them backand thenyou destroy yourself.
Honesty
Honesty is an act of being truthful
1 Peter 3:10-12 For whoever desires the live and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lipa from speaking deceit. A dishonest man is unstable in all his way. Honest people don't say much, they only chip-in when moved with great passion(action). A lie add to your troubles, subtract to your energy , multiply your difficulties and divide your effectiveness. Not being honest will male people not to confide in you and this will eventually reduce your chances of surviving in life(business). cleverness may take youto the top but honesty will retain you there
Humility
Do you wish to be great? then begin by being little, Humility means seeing ourselves as God sees u, knowing every good thing we have comes from Himas pure gift. To be humble is to always remember that God is biger, smarter and more powerful above all things/creations . Pride is a killer and destroyerof destinies. the way up is to remain on your knees. Let every lifting in your life lead you to being more humble. Every lifting in your lifeis a privilege to be part of God's program. pride is a refusalto accept that God has a hand in your achievement. the craving for the sportlight to be on you mot minding others is pride.
