To achieve a successful project, you must first believe that you are capable of creating a successful venture. Then, you need to know how to make your project successful. Here are the elements of success, divided into psychological and managerial aspects:

Psychological Elements of Success, Associated with Entrepreneurial Traits:

3. Expect Success and Exclude Failure:
   • Trust in your ability to succeed and work with this confidence. Avoid letting the word 'failure' enter your project. When deciding to create a successful project, work towards that goal, and always remember the reasons for embarking on this venture:
