The single biggest problem that a lot of start-up mentors experience is the lack of open, honest, and effective communication – most entrepreneurs tend to forget that talking isn’t communicating. Fortunately, the skills can be learned and the communication barriers can be overcome one at a time.
It is important to bear in mind that communication happens when the other person hears what you are trying to say; it’s not a one-way street and there will always be barriers on both sides. To be successful, entrepreneurs should be responsible in overcoming the barriers to make interaction effective.
