Creativity and perseverance, apart from others but for me those are the most important! 👍

Answer

One of the most crucial qualities for success in business, in my opinion, is the ability to think beyond the box. The ability to generate fresh concepts and think laterally is crucial when creating new goods and services. The capacity to work hard, to bounce back from setbacks, and to alter course when necessary are all crucial for every entrepreneur. Makers can weather the storms of beginning a business with a healthy dose of imagination, resolve, and flexibility.

@bjarnbronsveld great points, how do you usually evaluate which feedback is useful and which not?
