My last article identified the five characteristics that I believe are required for startup success. But can you actually learn these skills? I believe the answer is yes, in fact I’ve already been teaching them at ClearPurpose!
How do we learn traits like these? My main focus is serving as a strategy coach for entrepreneurs, and I’ve gained an appreciation for what it takes to learn new capabilities. As with many things, successfully learning startup skills involves gaining the necessary knowledge, using the right tools to apply that knowledge, and then practicing what you’ve learned.
Over the past year and a half, I have written over 200 articles at ClearPurpose, many of them teaching these skills and dozens of tools. I know you don’t want to dig through that much content to try to figure out which articles and which tools go with each characteristic of successful entrepreneurs, so my goal in this article is to point you to the ones that I think will be most helpful to you.
