learn as much as you can about them. There’s a lot of
information out there—in classes and books, as well as
online.
Web, Internet, and social-networking

Take classes and keep up to date on the latest happenings.
This area is continually changing. Staying up to speed

requires daily reading.

People skills
Join organizations and networking groups just to practice
vital people skills. You have to be able to deal with
different people and people with different business skills.
Technical investing

Take classes on technical investing, aka futures trading. An

entrepreneur must know how to make money in markets
that are going up, and in markets that are coming down. To
simply believe that markets only go up is naïve.

Remember, this isn’t about becoming an “A” student in these subjects.

Just know how these subjects interact in a business. You do not have to do
these courses all at once. Just dedicate your life, over time, to
continuously learn these subjects. Your lifelong commitment to learning is
a little thing that makes a very big difference. We all know people who
will promise to keep learning, but who fail to keep that promise. Keeping
this promise is the little thing that counts the most. Remember,
entrepreneurship has little to do with what school you went to. Success

goes to the entrepreneur who keeps on learning, even when school is out.

A Word about Generosity
Contrary to popular belief, becoming rich in the B and I quadrants requires
generosity not found in the E and S quadrants. B’s and I’s must be

generous in order to succeed. E’s and S’s don’t. As a B, you must be
willing to make a lot of people rich before you become rich.

To become rich in the I quadrant, you must be willing to share the wealth
with investors.
