Problems

The problems with many entrepreneurship are basically that it is so easy to just stop due to the ups and downs that almost never stop. A successful entrepreneur would take these ups and downs and turn these into challenges to overcome and never have the urge to just give up. Once that problem of giving up is introduced, it sometimes becomes too easy to give in to this urge – and it is only the great business builders who overlook this need to just give up.
