“The best tip I have for being confident professionally is knowing your own worth,” says Misha Kaura, a 26-year-old luxury fashion designer. “When applied, this means sitting up straight, looking people in the eye, giving a firm handshake, charging what you deserve, maintaining a positive attitude — and keeping a private victory log of things you’ve done well. These simple changes have done wonders for my confidence, productivity, and overall happiness levels, and have helped me get to the absolute top of my profession.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateharrison/2019/03/26/5-successful-entrepreneurs-share-their-self-confidence-secrets/?sh=7663241c13c2

PERSISTENT

Milton Hershey had a long path to the top of the chocolate industry. He became an apprentice to a candy-maker in Lancaster, PA. After studying the business for 4 years, Hershey started three unsuccessful candy companies in Philadelphia, Chicago and New York. Hershey was not about to give up, so he moved back to Lancaster and began the Lancaster Caramel Company. His unique caramel recipe, which he had come across during his earlier travels, was a huge success. He had found the best business plan template. Hershey, who was always looking ahead, believed that chocolate products had a much greater future than caramel. He sold the Lancaster Caramel Company for $1 million in 1900 (nearly $25 million in 2008 dollars) and started the Hershey Company, which brought milk chocolate, previously a Swiss delicacy, to the masses. https://www.growthink.com/content/7-entrepreneurs-whose-perseverance-will-inspire-you
