On Persistence and ResilienceAn excerpt from Greg Prudhommeaux1S blog, GregWasThereMost articles online talk about entrepreneurs as passionate individuals who are persistent and resilient. They seem to come up with the smartest solutions for any trouble that comes their way. We often associate the word entrepreneurs to people like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, the Google Guys and Sir Richard Branson, who most think are probably swimming in a pool of money in their yacht somewhere in the Bahamas. Nearly no one talks about the failures they experienced before they got to where they are now, and no one really bothers to ask how much these people sacrificed to be successful. To the public' s eyes, most of them were wovernight successes ” that, out of sheer luck and the right connections made it big.Greg Prudhommeaux talks about the side of entrepreneurship that is mostly hidden from the public on his blog, GregWasT. Here he shares his experience as a first timer in China, how he and fellow entrepreneurs tried to create a community for support before the existence of apps like WeChat. He talks about the challenges of keeping up with the demands of the community, pushing through uncertainty, and how having both persistence and resilience eventually pays off in the end.In his post, he shared an interesting video by Gary Veynerchuck discussing how overnight success is all a bunch of bleep.
