Entrepreneurial Role Models:

Other Quotes From the Chat with Darlene Corbett:
- “I would have just gone at it much more assertively. I was very gentle and careful in my approach.”
- “If you believe in yourself that’s the most important thing. Believe in yourself from the get go. Go ahead and use that and remind yourself you are going to get rejected. Rejected is a part of being an entrepreneur, it’s part of life, but don’t let it hold you back, don’t take it so personally. Just keep going”
- “I am very quick at deciding. When I got that idea about going out on my own I made that decision quickly”
- “I believe you have to have tenacity, resilience and confidence”
- “opportunity awaits, be open to it, be ready for it. The biggest obstacle is fear”
- “you can be successful as an entrepreneur. And I think that entrepreneurs the greatest gift they have is the ability to take risk, their ability to believe in their product, in themselves, and the ability to recognise that if they fall down, they get back up with resiliency and then they keep going forward with tenacity matter how many hills are in front of them”
