People often look up to the perfect examples of entrepreneurs, such as Oprah Winfrey, Robert and LindaKiyosaki, Tony Robbins, Richard Branson, Martha Stewart, Donald Trump (the real estate tycoon), Bill Gates,Cher Wang, Steve Jobs, and Tory Burch. They want the same success, but they don%u2019t always see the process thatthese people had to go through. It wasn%u2019t always champagne and roses. They faced misfortune and huge setbacksjust like other entrepreneurs.What sets these tycoons apart, is that they have the power to overcome setbacks, and to tackle nasty situationshead-on. They make difficult decisions and they do what needs to be done, whether they like it or not. Naturally,they make wrong decisions as well. But instead of sitting in the corner and crying about it, they learn from theirmistakes and correct their actions.As an entrepreneur myself and as a management assistant for foreign entrepreneurs in Belgium, I have comeacross a lot of dire situations.
