Most Ideas Don’t Work for hundreds of reasons: lack of capital, incorrect pricing, poor management, among many others. There is one common denominator of failure – bad decisions.
Bad decisions come from bad information and bad information is everywhere, hard to recognize, and impossible to avoid. It comes from assumptions, free advice, and no knowledge of the product, the business, or the customer.
