Resiliency- The ability to weather the ups and downs of any business.
Focus- After setting a long term vision, knowing how to focus on the very next step to get you closer to the ultimate goal.Patience- Realizing that most over night business successes takes 7 to 10 years.
People- Finding great people to leverage your business.
Sales- Being able to ask people to buy your product. Being able to move on to the next prospect when people say no.

Thanks for the insight!
