Lessons on Entrepreneurship from Diana Nyad

Yesterday, Diana Nyad completed the 110-mile swim from Cuba to Key West, her 5th attempt at completing the feat.  At age 64, Nyad fulfilled her lifetime dream of being the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage.  She first set her goal to make the swim in 1978, accomplishing it 35 years later.

Nyad said this time she found a mantra that helped her make the grueling journey in just short of 53 hours:  Find a way.  When she reached the beaches of Key West, she told the crowd assembled to watch her come ashore that she had three things to tell them:

1.  Never ever give up.

2.  You’re never too old to chase your dream.

3.  It may look like a solitary sport, but it’s a team.

Nyad’s dogged perseverance in the face of four failures is a lesson to all would-be entrepreneurs that sometimes it takes failure to succeed, that age is no barrier to success and that getting help along the way can help you achieve your dreams.
