One of the worst things an entrepreneur can have is too much pride and think they know everything. I know one such person and every time I try to suggest something they shrug it off like they already know that or they've been doing this longer than me so they don't need to listen to me. I worry that their pride might run their business into the ground. It's already struggling. Kitchen Nightmares is on the Fox channel here in the states. His show Hell's Kitchen did well in the rankings, too. You’re absolutely right. One of the worst things an entrepreneur can have is too much pride and think they know everything.

Didn't know it was played in US? Must have been on sky channel? Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares is a cool program. Although Gordon can come across as a patronising idiot, what some of the people on his program fail to understand is that he is soooooooo right. He knows his stuff! It always amazes me that the people on his program ask him to come and help them save their restaurant as it is failing miserably, then when he points out what is wrong, e.g. the food, the decor, the marketing, they jump on the defensive and think he is just trying to make a fool of them. It's as if they wanted him to turn up at their door and say, "food great, decor fabulous, menu stunning, infact your doing everything right, I have no idea why the business is faiing, your just unlucky!" I always think to be successful in business, you have to be very open to criticism, you have to be willing to seek advice, and you have to be willing to accept failures and be able to pick yourself up of the ground and brush yourself down and learn where you went wrong and seek advice on how not to do that again. It's a shame most people do not seem to be able to do that, the most successful business men/women do all the above. :) Hi
