Answer:
"Wherever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.'"
- Peter Drucker
Courage is defined as the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc, without fear. Although the word courage is easily defined, it is much more difficult to measure. Each individual faces a different set of fears, therefore what may be considered courageous for one, may not carry the same value for another. Take jumping out of a plane for example - one may be considered courageous for facing a fear of heights, or danger, but if that fear does not exist in another, well then it's just plain fun for them! Whatever the interpretation may be, the quote above still holds true that the success of a business, or the success of an individual, is likely due to someone at least once making a courageous decision.
There's very few examples of successful businesses that happened from only luck or opportunity. Even if an opportunity were to land in one's lap, it still takes courageous decisions and dedication to make it successful. When I first started my business, courage came in the form of entering an industry I knew nothing about; it came in the form of interacting with other business people that were much more experienced than me; and it came in the form of dedicating a lot of time to something that did not guarantee some sort of return. More than 13 years later and courage now comes in the form of making decisions that are ultimately responsible for the incomes of many families and for occasionally taking time away from my own family in the hopes of creating a better future .
