3	1. 99% of endeavors fail, but you can prevent failure by being hands on. 2. Failure cannot be attributed to a single client, PM, developer, designer, scientist, engineer, consultant, investor, advisor, etc. Team attrition is always a risk. To prevent your team's failure, you must ask the important questions. You must make strategic decisions. 3. If you are not aware of what's going on in your endeavor, it will likely fail.

6	If you're not technical, or not an expert at some skill, you need to ask "what does that mean" until you gain a high level understanding. Don't fear jargon - just ask. No techie, designer, dev shop, investor, or client can hand hold you to success. Keep asking questions, because if something does not make sense to you, then there is probably something wrong. Don't be intimidated, even if you get push back from some of your team members. You need to understand your endeavor, its technology, and its design, at least to the level where you can meaningfully manage it or contribute to it. And, this canvas will help you.

8	#1 Entrepreneurship Myth Busted: No technical person wants to be the "sweat equity CTO" of your idea. Solo founders do succeed. And no, you cannot submit a project idea to a dev shop, expect it to be shipped back to you, and boom you're a success. If you want to be successful, you have to manage your agile and diverse team yourself, get customer feedback, and iterate with your team toward success. If you don't keep things under control by asking questions, they will get out of control. So, to be successful, just ask.
