Starting a company as an entrepreneur requires laser focus and grit
Einstein puts focus simply: “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”

Our world has changed. With the internet and technology, we increasingly have more tools to build our ideas into products in a much easier fashion. However, we are also constantly stimulated by all kinds of distractions whether it’s social media, constant mobile notifications, daily idea waves, and the surge of materialism around us.

To grow any value from anything you start, you need to first make a decision to plant the seed and then, water it daily learning about the fine details every day until that tiny seed becomes a full-grown tree that grows by itself giving you tasty fruits.

For any company to succeed, laser focus for a rather long period of time is essential. Starting a company is like preparing yourself for a marathon. That’s probably because Google hires Olympic athletes because if you have such focus then you can learn anything, it’s a display of character and grit.
