The Most Important Skill for Entrepreneurs

Cathy is a phenomenal business person, there’s no doubt about that – but part of the reason she has been so successful as an entrepreneur is due to when she came up with her ideas.

Cathy believes that “any entrepreneur has to have the ability to sense a need before everyone else does, and they have to solve that need before some people even see there is a need.”

If you can identify a need and then offer a solution, nothing will hold you back in business.

Coaching Makes Champions

And if you don’t have that skill already, there is still hope – you can learn!

People often ask for quick hacks or the secret sauce to success, but they don’t always love the answer: “The secret sauce is to be open and coachable to someone who has been there and done that.”
