When I was growing up, my grandfather used to tell me, "Theresa, you ask too many questions." I was always curious—about his life, his experiences, how things worked, and why people did things the way they did. What I didn't realize then was that all those questions were helping me develop one of the most valuable skills I've carried into business. Curiosity became especially important when I started working in the scientific world. I had failed every science class I'd ever taken, yet suddenly I was talking to cancer researchers about highly technical equipment and experiments. I didn't know everything—but I knew how to ask questions. I got curious about how things worked, why they mattered, and what impact they could have. That curiosity eventually helped me move into leadership, build my first business, build my consulting business, and help hundreds of founders understand how their businesses actually work. In this episode, I'm breaking down why curiosity is such an underrated business skill and the three questions I want every business owner to keep asking: How does this work? How can I make it better? And what impact do I ultimately want to make? Because whether your business is growing like crazy or you're facing hurdle after hurdle, curiosity gives you a way forward. Instead of assuming you know the answer, you start asking better questions—and that's where growth begins. Stay curious. It may be one of the most valuable things you bring to your business. Key Takeaways: • Curiosity is an incredibly powerful—and often overlooked—skill for business owners. • You don't have to know everything before you can figure something out. • Asking better questions can help you quickly build knowledge in unfamiliar industries. • Understanding how something works gives you the foundation for improving it. • When something isn't working, curiosity helps you investigate instead of immediately giving up. • Don't blindly copy competitors' pricing, processes, or decisions without understanding the thinking behind them. • Business numbers tell a story, but you have to be curious enough to understand what that story actually means. • Look beyond vanity metrics like likes, clicks, impressions, and top-line revenue. • Stay curious about how you can make the business better for yourself, your team, and your customers. • Most importantly, stay curious about the impact you want your business to make.
