Are You a Critical Thinker?

The entrepreneur is essentially a visualizer and actualizer....He can visualize something, and when he visualizes it he sees exactly how to make it happen". - Robert L Schwartz

Having the ability to think critically is an important skill that many people lack. Critical thinking is the best way to solve problems since it requires looking at an issue from several standpoints before reaching a final decision. In history, both Socrates and Buddha preached about the important role that critical thinking plays in an individual’s ability to reasonably reflect on an issue and subsequently decide what to do or believe. Below is one skill to review and consider as you make changes in your career or entrepreneurship. 

Skill #1: Interpretation
What it Means: Having the ability to understand the information you are being presented with and being able to communicate the meaning of that information to others.
Throughout your career you will be presented with a variety of information in many different types of situations.

Interpretation skills will enable you to better decode the information and add clarity to what you have discovered - which in turn will help you  better understand any potential new customer opportunities for your company.
