being an entrepreneur isn't easy. It takes a special kind of person with
 a certain set of personality traits to be able to ride the rollercoaster and
come on top.

several business over the years, to be successful, they must have
passion, motivation and persistence, which all play into one another.
Ms. Eugenio said that not every entrepreneur will be successful, but
the possibility of failure doesn't mean that you should shy away from
trying something new. Innovation is one of the keys to bring back the
customers back to you.
