It really sums up the basic requirements of problem solving. The bigger picture is always clear in the minds of most of the people who set out to become an entrepreneur.

The usual mistake is that you don’t realize how to fix smaller pixels together to make the (comprehensible) bigger picture. Its like a picture puzzle (and hence a problem) that needs to be solved.

It is a good post, and formalizes most of what entrepreneurs learn the hard way. Although what i feel is that most of the good entrepreneurs create their own road maps without a prior set of rules.

A good theoretical way of being a good entrepreneur , but neglects individual subjective strength that usually tips the game for one or against one.

@chandan: agree mental models are key and you need to keep expanding your collection of them

@rizwan: well I follow an advice I got 15 years back from the Editor our college magazine Vox-Populi, when I joined my as a correspondent.

“If you sit & try to force your self to write – you will never produce a good piece. But if there is a the story inside you that wants to come out and the feeling is similar to one you get when you have to SHIT. Pick a pen and let it flow out. You will feel blissful and produce your best work”
