Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner Jason Saltzman sits down with two founders to hear their stories of perseverence and resilience.

Raul Tovar is the co-founder of WindowsWear, a fashion tech company based in New York City that archives display windows. He moved from Mexico to New York determined to make something of himself and resolved that he would not go home empty-handed.

Jordan Wan is the founder and CEO of CloserIQ, which builds sales teams for startups. He started his business through tragedy -- losing his mother and his marriage in the early stages.

You might think these difficulties -- whether moving, or being told their ideas weren't good enough, or working through tragedy -- would be enough to make them give up. But they didn't. They only spurred them to greater success.
