All Successful entrepreneurs are LEARNERS. They are constantly learning new things on a daily basis. They understand that the world is changing on a regular basis and so they arm themselves with the RIGHT INFORMATION.
Successful Entrepreneurs keep updating their KNOWLEDGE BASE because they know that if they don't do so, they will be left behind.
They give themselves regularly to trainings through reading, listening to audio- visual materials, attending seminars just to keep up with the FAST CHANGING WORLD.
They constantly develop RELATIONSHIPS with people who are SMARTER and more INTELLIGENT than they are so they can draw from their WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE.
To be a successful entrepreneur, you have to FIND PEOPLE who have ACHIEVED what you want to achieve and ATTACH yourself to them so you can LEARN from their SUCCESS as well as their MISTAKES.
You can either learn from your own mistake or from the mistakes of others through mentorship as it makes your journey easier and faster because you are standing on the shoulders of experienced people.
Surround yourself with people who are far ahead of you in your area of calling and purpose and draw from their POOL OF WISDOM. READ THEIR BOOKS. ATTEND THEIR SEMINARS AND CONFERENCES. FOLLOW THEM ON SOCIAL MEDIA, ASK THEM QUESTIONS, GET FEEDBACKS FROM THEM. YOU DON'T NEED TO BE WHERE THEY ARE PHYSICALLY IN ORDER TO LEARN FROM THEM. The internet is a GLOBAL VILLAGE where you can meet with any calibre of persons by just a simple message of introduction.
Ask google questions. Don't just browse the internet to make friends that won't add anything meaningful to you. When you make friends, do so either because you WANT TO LEARN FROM THEM or you want them to LEARN FROM YOU. Instead of spending your precious time watching movies for hours, invest it into educational channels that are related to your purpose. If you don't intend going into THE FASHION INDUSTRY, watching FASHION SHOWS for long hours is a waste of valuable time and energy because it is not related to your area of CALLING. Arm yourself with the necessary tools to become successful. Your dreams are too precious to toil with and leave to chance.
Commit yourself to life long learning. That's the secret of successful entrepreneurs that puts them ahead .
GO FOR KNOWLEDGE BECAUSE YOUR KNOWLEDGE IS YOUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE.
