The
Eighth Virtue of the Ten Virtues of Maat is
confidence in the power of the master
(teacher). This virtue is important because you do not know everything
there is to know about the business you will choose to begin from scratch or
purchase as a franchise or licensee. You must learn the ropes from somebody and
you will not learn what you need to know if you have no confidence in the power
of the person who is teaching you what you need to know about the business.
The
virtue that is hiding behind this eighth virtue is that of humility. A prideful person has difficulty acknowledging that
anyone knows more than she or he about anything. Consequently, there are many
entrepreneurs struggling in business because they refuse to learn from those
more experienced than they, or to take their advice.
It’s
not always pride that can make you leery about having confidence in the power of the master (teacher), sometimes it’s
your bad past experience with a so-called teacher who turned out to be
incompetent at best or a shyster at worst. That is why you must check out
carefully the coach or teacher you choose to engage to speak into your life to
make sure that that person who will be teaching you the ropes knows what they
are doing.
