4. Faith

“Your beliefs become your thoughts.  Your thoughts become your words.  Your words become your actions.  Your actions become your habits.  Your habits become your values.  Your values become your destiny.”

Gandhiji did not know whether people will follow him, have confidence in him or whether the British Government will accept his proposals. He just had an utter faith in himself. He was always drawn by his conscience which guided him throughout until India’s independence. He believed in his ideas and concepts and had total faith in them. And that is why he succeeded.

Likewise, an entrepreneur should have total confidence in his abilities. At the same time, he should be willing to admit his shortcomings and try to overcome them. He should work to build a team that can complement his skills. Faith in himself and his team is certainly one of the most important traits for an entrepreneur. In short, your beliefs will create your destiny.
