What differs a failed business owner from a successful entrepreneur? The successful ones want to keep learning.

Always.

This is happening because, in the world of business, failure is a constant. One cannot simply win every battle faith throws at one’s face. It’s what you learn from setbacks and mistakes that makes or breaks your business.

However, it’s not all about personal experiences in 2018. We have the internet for a reason other than cute cat pics and Facebook wars and that reason is the ability to learn from others. There are people all over the world who’ve walked a few miles in your shoes. Yes, their journey and their business are different from what you have, but we all operate following the same rules or concepts.

The internet grants you the opportunity to capitalize on the success and prevent failure based on other people’s experience.

Is this as good as learning from your own success story? Probably not, but following the people from the list below will definitely make your life as a business owner a bit easier. And you will learn a whole lot of cool tricks as a bonus!
