The two most expensive words in business and in life are "I know", writes investor Jeff Gosling. As we get older and gain experience, we may unconsciously tune out when we think, "I know this already". However, Gosling warns this is extremely dangerous as it creates blind spots.

Even on familiar topics, he recommends asking, "Isn't that interesting? I wonder if I could learn more?" Revisiting concepts from new angles can spark critical realisations about what we actually don't know or aren't applying properly.

Gosling argues that surrounding yourself with diverse viewpoints and experiences reduces overall blind spots that affect business decisions.
