It is crucial to point out that there is no magic bullet that will make you a rich and successful entrepreneur overnight. Those who work hard to succeed, however, can develop an almost formulaic blend of entrepreneurial skills that help them stand out from the competition. Entrepreneurs who succeed are always ready to dust themselves down after rejections and find an alternative route to the top, no matter how many knock-backs and rejections they receive. Taking a business idea from the realms of the mind and turning it into a profitable enterprise requires this kind of tenacity. We’ve compiled a list of top 10 thriving entrepreneurs that you should be keeping tabs on in 2022 to get some motivation!

Take-Home Thought
During the pandemic, the economic activity and entrepreneurial hustle ceased, but not virtually, since e-commerce flourished all along. According to a careful estimate, 85,000 businesses launched online stores to survive – and thrive – during the pandemic. As those businesses begin to succeed online, they’ll realize that it is possible to continue building their bottom line around the globe without having to open brick-and-mortar locations.
For new entrepreneurs who are unfamiliar with the local culture or do not have any existing relationships in an area, expansion across geographical borders can be intimidating, but e-commerce has made it much easier and allowed for organic growth. Global expansion is possible for businesses with the right partners. For entrepreneurs to attract and retain the right talent, they need to be creative in their strategies.
