Probably the most interesting and innovative course this quarter, DEO (Discovering Entrepreneurial Organizations) is over.

Here is a list of ten things I learned over the course:

1. CASH is KING. But don't get too distracted from operations trying to get finance.
2. Contadina: Changing consumer behavior is very difficult. Also, learn the basics of estimating market size and attractiveness
3. When talking about your business idea, don't show much enthusiasm if you want to learn from others about your unknown unkwowns.
4. I can jump on the spot and do a great presentation, yet I will not allow this to be necessary again.
5. Now I can see different things on people carrying items. But my team together can see 1000x more.
6. L.G. Interesting approach: As an entrepreneur, quickly get rid of (delegate) the boring stuff.
7. Iridium: Great decisions can be those of stopping projects. Test always before going to market.
8. Space data: Be the anti-iridium
9. Alberto Gonzalez: The power of learning and gaining reputation for over 13y.
10. New Barn Studios: In a diverse team, the options and perspectives multiply. Different perspectives open new worlds (of business).
11. Bonus: Best beats always first!

Some are obvious and some others need the course case to understand them fully, but I thought I would share them with you.
