If you are a tennis fan, you will have undoubtedly been following the news over the past week that Serena Williams announced her return to the professional tennis circuit, choosing International Women’s Day to officially go back on tour at the Paribas Open in Indian Wells. Her return is typical of her pure self-belief and determination, having given birth to her first child a year ago, and surviving a pulmonary embolism in the last six months. During an interview before the start of the tournament, she said, “I never questioned my return.” Serena is a great example of how to harness the power of self-belief and use it as the X-Factor in the search for success, and women entrepreneurs would do well to follow her example. Self belief can keep you going when times are tough, when detractors are doing their best to dissuade you from your goals, and when business is just hard. So, anyone for a spot of tennis watching?
