#4) Passionate about Learning
Entrepreneurs are often “autodidactic” learners, which means that much of what they know they learned not in a
formal classroom setting but instead on their own by seeking out information, asking questions, and doing personal
reading and research. They also are quick to learn from their own mistakes, which means they are less prone to keep
repeating them due to arrogance, ego, or a blindness to one’s own faults, shortcomings, or errors in judgement. To
teach is to learn. And to lead, train, and impart experience to others the entrepreneur is constantly striving to learn
more and get better educated. Because of the passion for education, true entrepreneurs surround themselves with
people who either know more than they do or know things that are different from what they know. They entertain
the views of others and perspectives that may be unlike their own, for instance, in order to be better students of human
nature. In this way they continue to enrich themselves with knowledge while also making a concerted effort to
grow that knowledge by sharing it with others who are also front row students of life’s valuable and unlimited
lessons.
