Determination is the best predictor of startup success. Determined people have three qualities: discipline, ambition, and willfulness.
Discipline is simply doing what you’ve planned to do. It requires a plan, and your ex*****on of it. It is not difficult to make a plan. But the doing part is more difficult. You need to follow the plan without doubting it.
Ambition is the grandness of what you want to achieve. Just imagine the most you could achieve in a lifetime. Ambition is the ask. Asking is easier than doing. So for most of us ambition is easier than discipline.
Willfulness is the desire to do something regardless of consequences. An unstoppable desire. There are two parts to willfulness: one is an extreme desire, and the other is fearlessness about facing the consequences.
