"I’ve often believed that the true measure of an entrepreneur’s character comes not during the boom times, but how they react in times of adversity and challenge."
Couldn't be more true! I have a friend who runs his own restaurant. He's successful because of his character and how he responded to diversity. When he was starting out, I remember he would have rather spent his money to get a better stove for the restaurant than a new couch for his living room.
There's definitely a cost to that sort of attitude, but that sort of tenacity makes for a business that just won't die.
