Similar Habits Of Great Minds

It is not a secret that all great
entrepreneurial minds have similar habits.
Perhaps this is what makes them do great
exploits and achieve immense success and
recognition in start-ups than the rest of
humanity. These habits are powerful and
define their leadership.  Here are just some
of the most outstanding habits that should
motivate you to change your mind set and
way of doing things.

1) Question beliefs

Great entrepreneurial minds don’t just
believe what others believe. They question
the beliefs and engage in thinking that
shapes the lives of many people. Their
inquisitive minds seek to know the truth
and correctness of ideas and philosophies
in their societies. Their motivation is to find
and apply philosophical truths that will
improve humanity and better the lives of
people in all spheres of influence.

2) They persist.

Great minds are known for their
persistence in life.  They can persist in all
negative situations- challenges, criticism,
and crises and maintain their demeanour
and calm. They know that challenges are
temporal and when they arise, they create
good opportunities to build their character
and leadership abilities.

3) They pursue their best

Great minds always strive to grow their
potentials, skills, and scale greater heights
in their lives. Instead of focusing on the
illusions of perfection, they set and pursue
more realistic goals and paths that help
them reach their destiny. Since they have
direct paths to their goals, they care less
about ideals of perfection which distract
the majority of us from achieving what they
desire in life.

4) Listens to heart instead of head

If there is one thing that differentiates great
minds from averages ones, it is their ability
to listen with heart instead of mind. They
do not listen only to their intellect, but use
their intuition to make judgments about
situations. Their intuitions guide them
before the brain triggers a response.
Perhaps, this explains why some people
have more gut feeling about
entrepreneurship than others.

5 ) Embrace and learn from their
mistakes

To cap it all, all great minds acknowledge
and embrace their mistakes. Humans
always err, but some people just don’t
want to be cognizant of their limitations or
shortcomings. After all, there is a saying
that goes “if it doesn’t kill you, it makes you
stronger!” Great minds know their faults,
weaknesses, and mistakes and use them to
gain invaluable experience.

6) Quick to listen, slow to talk

Great minds take time to internalize and
reflect on information while average minds
provide snap responses. In any
conversation, a great mind is careful and
attentive enough to recognize common
errors, misconception, and prejudices.
Great young entrepreneurs always listens
first, think through what is said, and give
appropriate responses. The reason why
they are tolerant and accommodative is
because they listen to others with empathy
and understanding.
