Examine Your Assumptions

When you run into problems you can not easily solve, take a look at your assumptions. There may be something wrong in the underlying context. Someone once said; "Errant assumptions lies at the root of every problem." I am not sure if this is one hundred percent true but think it can often be the case. Examine your assumptions about your market, the size of the opportunity, the competence of the people involved etc. Take a closer look at your assumptions.
