Make it as easy as possible for anyone to understand



I was fortunate enough while working on my start-ups to win a trip to Europe to conduct meetings abroad. As the trip concludes, I recall all of the amazing connections that were made. I spoke with everyone I could! From businesses related and unrelated to mine. Every entrepreneur wears a creative hat that is tailored by their history and will give feedback based on their experiences. For example, I spoke with a gentleman who runs a water-filtration facility and he said the easiest way to succeed was to make every step of your process as simple as possible. When you find yourself complicating things, create another step so that the final process is broken down so far, it's understandable to someone with no experience in your industry. A tip to entrepreneurs: admire those who succeed and learn from their successes and their failures (via craig rabin, portfolio.com)
