Lessons Learned: The Beginning

This is the first in series of posts in which I’ll discuss the meaning that each chapter in the Blue Screen had for me. Incase you haven’t read the book, don't worry. That’s all the more reason to read the lessons. Consider it a shortcut ;).

1) Don't let business insights go so easily. Think about them, plug in some numbers and see how they add up.

2) Substantiate your imaginary numbers by taking input from peers, and if you're lucky, then professionals. Maybe its all in your head, perhaps you're missing an important aspect of the venture. At any rate, have a peer network that you can turn to for this kind of advice.

3) Don't be a smart Alec in b-school. It will haunt you.
