We all know entrepreneurs who have overcome adversity, like the recent business recession or personal setbacks, and achieved success. There are famous people like Walt Disney and Nelson Rockefeller, who overcame learning disabilities, and people like J. C. Penney and J. K Rowling who struggled through personal bad times before finding their true legacy.
I’ve always been interested in how this works, and why it’s true. I’ve listened to several speakers with personal stories of overcoming adversity, and the message is always that tough times can make you stronger, wiser, and better. I’ve seen real examples, so I believe it, but the how and why are more elusive.
