In every business you have to make decisions. Usually between money and something. Money and quality, money and people, money and … Whatever. Of course money is an important driver for your business, but there are other drivers. I think the most important one is: keep your business alive. That means: LEARN!

If you don’t learn as an entrepreneur you’ll never run a successful business. Learn from your successes, mistakes, competition, employees, friends, it doesn’t really matter: you have to watch and learn. The funny thing is I’ve had a couple of employers and they all tend to forget instead of learn. It’s probably easier to push a mistake away instead of writing it down at the top of your list of things to improve. “Human nature”?

Frustrating, but I still don’t want to be an entrepreneur. Let other people show that they can make something work. I’ll help them, and keep reminding them to learn.
