The Secret to Entrepreneur Success?

Polaris- Blog 8Some think it’s education, upbringing, background or even their financial situation. According to a recent study by Ace Hardware, 79% of the business owners interviewed attributed their success to good ol’ initiative.

Apparently, it’s more about the energy and motivation you bring to the business than the formal education you have. Learning to be industrious is the most valuable asset of all.

  14. Dear Mr. Krider,

    Once again, you have hit the nail on the head. This information could not come at a better time. Perhaps the school systems will wake up and start teaching these basic principles?

    ITS all true but the elements change as time passes
    hundred years ago and hundred years later created and traded
    these same things are done with astronomical changes its because of education
    I believe these are two sides if a coin if coupled would bring out great results
