It took a lot of hardship and blunder and necessitated a lot of sacrifices before she finally made it. By her persistence that tested to the core many times still, she believed in herself. 

In her present business, she had to ask for help. That was something that she didn’t want to do, but she had to swallow her pride and remind herself that half a loaf is better than no loaf. She didn’t give up and took effort, and it all worked out well in the end.
