“You tend to get told that the world is the way it is, but life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact; and that is that everything around you that you call life was made up by people no smarter than you … Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.”

Key ingredient to entrepreneurial success

Wed, 09 Feb 2011 18:09:00 -0500

A great idea?
Financial backing?
A charismatic founder?
A bulletproof business plan?
Great selling skills?

These things can certainly help. But what will make or break your entrepreneurial journey is:

The ability to be a scientist.

What I mean specifically about being a scientist is willingness to:

Create a working hypothesis and test it
Observe results with curiosity, not judgment
Ask why
Tweak. Retest. Observe. Ask why. Tweak again.

When you view the entrepreneurial journey as a series of experiments, it is interesting and intellectually stimulating, and a puzzle to be solved.
