Guts. It takes lots of it to open a small business! Lots of planning, saving, and executing goes into it making it happen, which is why we recognize that opening a small business is no small feat.
At Clevenger Insurance, we want to point to and call out the superpowers of those who start a business:
- Courage to make things happen, stick with it, and remain confident against all odds.
- The ability to thrive in uncomfortable environments.
- Taking a leap of faith despite an unknown future.
- Understanding that failure is not just an option but a reality.
- Having the self-awareness and readiness to pivot, evolve or reset.
- Being vigilant and taking time to rest or exhale.
- Keeping a tightrope balance between refusing to accept failure and simultaneously embracing it when it appears.
