Being a lifelong learner is something that has to do
with the benefit of failure. When one is constantly learning and at the rate of
a life time, you will either be able to specialize in one area as well as being
really good at multiple areas. When you look at ones life and see how you can
improve your failures you are then able to take those “free” lessons you have
learn in your life and apply them to your business. Being a life learner can benefit anyone and everyone.
I do not think anyone that is truly humble will not every apply the practice of
being a life learner. To me, being a life learner means that throughout your
life you are constantly working towards a higher knowledge and that this goal should
never be completely reached.
The most difficult hurdle as
a business leader is to be able to take that risk of spending time and money in
something that you are not completely sure will pay off. I think that there is
some level of uncertainty that play in this and the constant threat of losing
money and your business is always nagging at you in the back of your mind. The
risks have both positive and negative repercussions. Typically, people are more
willing to take upon the minimal risk with some to little pay off but the risks
that are huge are the ones that others fear from. To me, if something is worth
doing and I believe in myself and my product then I have no problem accepting
the risks with high negative or positive consequences.
