The paper discusses the importance of learning for the development of entrepreneurial skills. At the very beginning, the concept of a skill is defined as an acquired ability to perform an action. So, to have a certain skill perfected, it is necessary to be prepared for continuous training and learning. Every day is an opportunity to acquire new knowledge. Hence the concept of lifelong learning emerges as a key factor of success in the 21st century. Lifelong learning is a lasting process by which each person is expanding their knowledge. Some of the essential skills that contribute to the success of each entrepreneur are: development of self-management, personal stress management, teams and teamwork, motivation of others, stimulating communication, conflict management, and the like. These entrepreneurial skills are not only important for entrepreneurs, they are applicable in everyday life. They are described in more detail in the first part of the paper. Furthermore, the development of learning and its importance in the development of skills are emphasized. There are various theories and styles of learning. A learning style is a way of thinking, processing and understanding information. Every person's learning style is unique and it is important for a person to apply the one that best suits them. In the last part of the paper, a research was conducted through Kolb's questionnaire on learning styles. The aim of the research was to determine the way respondents are learning and dealing with everyday situations. The research has determined that the style of learning depends mostly on the person's personality, not on their gender or degree of education.
