Entrepreneurs need to be great generalists. They can't be expected to have all of the deep insights needed for all the diverse functions they need to make decisions about. Seeking out a trusted network of functional experts is an important part of any entrepreneur's journey.

3 Validate Assumptions

Every entrepreneur has assumptions about their market, customers, and business model. However, when your decisions lack informed insights, it's time to challenge and validate these assumptions. Conduct experiments or pilot studies to test your hypotheses. Use the outcomes to refine your business strategy. This process of validation can prevent costly mistakes and ensure that your decisions are aligned with the actual needs and behaviors of your market. It's like checking the weather before setting sail; it prepares you for what's ahead.

En estos casos la experimentación rápida, la posterior evaluación de resultados y pivotes con adaptaciones en nuevos ensayos, reducen los recursos usados en lograr resultados. Este es el origen de las disciplinas Lean. Adicionalmente, agrega la solución al dilema: “La perfección es enemiga de la oportunidad” Y de “La vida es todo lo qué pasa mientras planificamos” este, es aporte de Laura Rojas del Grupo Prospera en una reunión de hoy.

4 Engage Your Team

Your team can be an invaluable resource when you're seeking to improve the quality of your decisions. Engage them in brainstorming sessions to gather diverse perspectives. Encourage open communication and foster an environment where team members feel comfortable sharing their insights. Collective intelligence can often lead to better decision-making, as it combines the knowledge and experience of multiple individuals. Remember, a crew that navigates together can help steer the ship away from potential dangers.

5 Iterate Quickly

In the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship, it's essential to iterate quickly. When you lack informed insights, take small steps and adjust your course as you learn more. This means implementing changes, measuring results, and being willing to pivot if necessary. By adopting an agile approach to decision-making, you can respond to new information and market changes more effectively. Think of it as sailing with the wind; by adjusting your sails as conditions change, you maintain momentum and direction.

6 Reflect and Learn

Finally, reflection is a critical component of informed decision-making. Take time to analyze the outcomes of your decisions and learn from both successes and failures. This reflective practice allows you to understand what worked, what didn't, and why. It's an ongoing process that helps you build a reservoir of knowledge over time, which in turn informs future decisions. Just as a captain logs each voyage, keeping a record of your entrepreneurial journey can guide you towards better decision-making in the future.

When we realise the lack of informed insight. There is always a better way to start an entrepreneurship journey with constant feedback. If you are building anything set up the feedback loop with your real customer. Understand their insight of your real customer, and then Iterating and adopting the needs and wants accordingly based on the customer feedback. Managing the customer expectations and satisfying the needs and wants and adding the feature will be great to start. How to start, Testing your all assumptions with taking the surveys, talking with real customer and accomadating into MVP would be a great to start. Providing the real value through feedback would be great to start an entrepreneurship journey.
