"Grit is every BIZ Experiences's trump card," says Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn, partner at VC firm Greylock and host of Masters of Scale, a podcast series examining counterintuitive theories to growing a company.

Hoffman's not the only one who thinks so, either. Serial BIZ Experiences and founder of the O.C.D. Experience Justin Klosky believes that along with having a purpose and setting realistic goals, grit is the next crucial element to success as an BIZ Experiences. However, having the right amount of grit isn't easy, and you need to balance it with patience.

"It's letting things simmer, giving yourself time to breathe, " Klosky tells BIZ Experiences's editor-in-chief, Jason Feifer, in a video. "If you trust it, it will show some really great fruit."

With experience launching a variety of different business ventures, grit is something that's helped drive Klosky to take risks. It can mean putting yourself in challenging situations -- so being confident, relying on yourself and toughing it out are key to getting where you want to be.
