Entrepreneurial Lessons
Be Persistent
Bimbo Ademoye went for several auditions and was rejected several times before she finally got a movie role. She would have just given up and concluded acting wasn’t her thing. But she thrived, persisted, and continued attending these auditions until she was finally cast. Today, see where she is.
Entrepreneurs should be persistent and should not give up easily. Thrive until you get your big break because there’s always light at the end of every tunnel. When you get to the end of the tunnel, and you see the light, the world would get to know about your solutions you’re creating.
