I talk a lot about Curiosity with business owners, networking, and particularly with my clients. You might be a talented mechanic, electrician, buyer, or stylist and decide you want to carve out your own niche but how are your business skills?
The two types of owners I see over and over again are...those that know what they don't know and those naively THINK they know everything. Those that are think they already know everything also lack curiosity and can't get out of their own way. Even as their frustration rises they will continue to reject ideas from anyone.
On the other hand the entrepreneurs who know what they don't know use the web to find solutions, reach out to a mentor, or hire a professional coach or strategist to elevate their company.
Curiosity is key to any entrepreneur. It's simply my observation that those owners who are eager to learn and want to elevate their business skills are the curious ones. They want to know how to find more revenue, when does it make sense to hire employees, how much money to spend on marketing and how to track the ROI.
So what type of business owner are you....Curious or not?
