15 Signs You're an Entrepreneur

#11. You consider yourself an outsider

Reminds me of the story of Lamborghini. There was a young fellow named Ferruccio Lamborghini who built tractors for a living. He bought a Ferrari and was disappointed, so he approached Enzo Ferrari with ideas to improve it. But Ferrari, in his arrogance, didn't want advice from a lowly tractor mechanic. Not taking no for an answer, Ferruccio decided he would build his own sports car instead. The rest is history. I don't know if that's true, but it's a great story.

Moral of the story: If someone approaches you with a criticism, be quiet and listen.
