âWall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls Royce, to get advice from those who take the subwayâ - Warren Buffett If this sentence does not make you think for a while, read it twice.

Complexity is the enemy of clarity. And without clarity, you're invisible. Iâve been in meetings where technical guys discuss and discuss. Argue and argue. About the gender of the angels. For hours. For meetings. For months. Ego against ego. And you still miss the point. The clarity, the specificity of the problem. And they go invisible. For bosses and leaders alike. If you are able to explain complex things in a simple way, as if the person you talk to was 5 years-old⌠People will listen....
Every important decision in your life has come down to the same thing. Making a bet on yourself. Changing company? Bet on yourself. Changing career path? Bet on yourself. Starting your business? Bet on yourself. Hiring your first employee? Bet on yourself. There is one thing I have learnt about big decisions. Itâs always simpler than you think.
