I recently wrote about the 12 tips to building successful startup communities. I lived in London from 1997-2005 and for 6 of those years ran my startup based out of London.

This is part of my Startup Advice series. So I was surprised at the sheer volumes of decisions that had to be made when I became a startup CEO. This person was educated at the best US schools and had worked for a top-tier strategy consulting firm – one of the big 3. But I bring up this story for a reason.
