Feras Alhlou tells business owners to keep learning beyond their specialty. He emphasizes deliberate practice and flags common weak spots: marketing and closing skills that most founders never develop.
Hey, Fevers. I heard that a new business owner should always continue learning. Is that true? 100%, and you know, we hear practice makes perfect. I think practice makes permanent, as one of my Aikido teachers says. It's this deliberate practice that makes perfect. So, so what if you're very good at whatever it is—accounting, IT consulting, coaching—are you? What else are you missing? Maybe, maybe, maybe you're just not good at marketing. Maybe you're not good at closing faster. So, there's always, as a business owner, as an entrepreneur, especially early-stage entrepreneurs, there's just so much to learn, not in your subject matter area only, but also in these other aspects of the business so that you can grow.
