SKILLS AND WAYS OF

OPERATING FOR A BUSINESS

MENTORING RELATIONSHIP

7. Persistence

Persistence stems from a deep belief in oneself, the potential for achievement, and

the unwavering pursuit of goals without giving up. When starting a new business,
failures are inevitable, but persistence and consistent effort can lead to project

success. The same is true for a mentoring relationship and by persisting through

awkward or difficult moments (granted the relationship is a healthy one) we can
turn them into something that carries much benefit for all parties involved.

Furthermore, persistence offers additional benefits. Refusing to quit enhances
confidence, and increased confidence, in turn, fuels even greater persistence,

ultimately resulting in professional success. Another outcome of persistence is the
ability to make progress and overcome obstacles with a positive mindset.

Developing persistence is a crucial skill in the business world. Here are some

ways to cultivate it:

Ø Identify your wants and desires: Clearly define your goals and

aspirations to maintain focus and motivation.

Ø Determine your motivation: Understand what drives you and use it as a

source of inspiration during challenging times.
