Entrepreneurs are a naturally curious bunch. So much so that a 2012 Gallup survey found that 71 percent of entrepreneurs polled said they learned or did something new "yesterday." Some of that can be attributed to curiosity, and another part of it is just a function of building and running a business.

As an entrepreneur, you never know what challenges will await you when you wake up in the morning, and more likely than not, you’ll regularly be put in situations that you’ve never been in before.
