As the majority of the world is still on pause, us young entrepreneurs are still hungry for success. It is in times like this that we must take accountability for our actions. The only way to succeed through a dropping economy is to review, study, alter, and improve all aspects of your business; to show your customers that you aren’t like your friends sitting at home watching Netflix, that you are willing to put in the time to be successful.

By taking accountability for our actions, by putting in a full effort, and not allowing yourself to make excuses (especially in these times when you have an unlimited amount of excuses), running a successful business will only be a matter of time. Centering all of your attention on solutions that grow your business will eliminate all thoughts that focus on the problem.

Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.

Evolving myself as an entrepreneur and setting a foundation for future endeavors is a monumental reason as to why I chose Scholars Edge.
