Believe in yourself and ignore naysayers
As an entrepreneur, no one can believe in you, more than you believe in yourself. You alone fully understand your goals and aspirations. The depth with which you believe in yourself determines how others would believe in you. Naysayers would always surface, but if you believe in yourself, you would ignore them and focus on important things.
People have talked down on Beverly severally, but she ignores them all and focus on her career. This is one of the best attitudes an entrepreneur can possess.
