Having compassion as an entrepreneur will allow you to better connect with your partners, your employees, and your customers. This will allow you to better handle the challenges that are faced on your journey. (34:05)
Finding joy in the entrepreneurial journey, rather than being fixated on the outcome, will make it easier to deal with inevitable hard times. (36:12)
There is always room to learn and grow. Being able to engage in a process of continuous learning is what Dominnique considers a success.(40:08)
