Monica Eaton Delves Into Entrepreneurial Personality Traits
Monica Eaton is no stranger to entrepreneurship. Prior to launching Chargebacks911 in 2011, she built and managed several other successful companies as a serial entrepreneur. Recently, the folks at HubSpot decided to put Monica’s expertise to use in a new feature for their blog.
As a CRM platform provider, the goal of the HubSpot team is to simplify and streamline marketing, sales, and customer service operations for businesses. Their blog is one of the world’s leading resources for insight on marketing sales, management, and entrepreneurship.
As noted in the piece, Monica says that entrepreneurs need to have confidence in themselves and their teams, even when failure looks like a real possibility. "We fail our way to success,” Monica says. “It means you had the courage to try and there's no way you can get to success without confronting failures."
Every aspiring entrepreneur will fail at least once. The object which separates success from total failure, though, is one’s ability to rebound from failure and keep moving forward. In Monica’s case, for instance, her own eCommerce troubles led directly to the launch of Chargebacks911.
"Instead of folding up shop, I decided to dig myself out of this pit ... I built an entire program based on every trial and error lesson I had learned — and it worked. Before long, the very same banks that had tried to shut down my business were calling and asking for my assistance."
