During a recent business trip in April 2014 officially launching StringCan Interactive's Paris France office, I met with the ReMix Coworking group http://remixcoworking.com to share what I have learned over the success and failures of my last 10 business ventures. There were 7 key lessons learned I shared with this passionate group of entrepreneurs.
