The bad thing about having good memory is that, along with all the good things remembered, you also remember the mistakes.
Wait...
Maybe that isn't a bad thing. We are supposed to learn from our mistakes, right? How can we do that without first knowing the mistakes and remembering them?

A Few Notes On Entrepreneuring
(The following list of notes on entrepreneuring and businesses are in no particular order. I probably could have titled this "Things to know/remember when building your business".)
Difference between a service company and a product company: The first is easily scalable.
Build something that does one thing really well.
Difference between a huge market and the right market.
Experience+knowledge >> knowledge. (Read: Experience and knowledge is much greater than just knowledge.)
"The trend is your friend" when asking for venture capital. Current trends: mobile, cloud, big data, and social.
--
Describe your service/product better. Better doesn't mean specific, it means making an impression. Ex: My service is the oracle of big data. The words you should use evolve with time and with usage by others. The best copy now should use just one of the following: comprehensive, genuine, convenient, accessible, prestigious, premier, pioneers, quality, we obsolete .
Other terms should be purposely excluded because they are either overused, not true, or sound templated: innovative, groundbreaking, fresh, leader, unique. It is tough to know which words to stay away from; you don't want to make people doubtful and put their defenses up. One tip is to keep up-to-date with everything investors, businesses, and consumers see.
I have much more to say about this, but it could take up at least two more long blog posts. Here's a small list of currently neutral descriptive words for your business: functional, effectively, revitalizes, the original. "My business is a multinational corporation" could mean that I run a website.)
--
Descriptions should appeal to each of the senses. (Copy is very important)
There are always tradeoffs. Know them.
"People who get MBAs learn how to draw timelines."
The ability to communicate effectively is your strongest asset.
When building for businesses, the ultimate goal is to either raise revenue or reduce costs.
"Engineers are not hired to create programs, they are hired to create business value."
Any more quick thoughts? What are your first thoughts? Then what are your second thoughts?

Blame the Brain
It's not my fault that my brain decided not to remember _______.
EDIT: "I tried, but my brain took over."
EDIT2: Dang conscious thinking not as smart as sub-conscious thinking.
EDIT3: "The brain didn't name itself, I did."
EDIT4: Talking to myself too.

Your Way Is The Best Way
My way of doing things is better than your way. But, your way of doing things is better than mine.
What does that mean?
When people use their survivalist instincts, they will do things the best way they know how. ("Best" is a very opinionated word and will mean different things to different people.) So, until they hear/understand another method, everybody should be able to say to themselves that they know best.
But, remember.. there is always a better idea out there.
It should be a goal for everybody to understand different ways to accomplish tasks. The way to find out about different methods is to talk to others or read. Only then can you truly say your way is the best way.
