One of the most important skills an entrepreneur can posses is effective communication.  Whether that be delegating responsibility to employees, sending memos and emails, putting together an effective business plan, or pitching your ideas to VC's to get funding, communication is essential to a successful business.  Persuasion plays an extensive role in an entrepreneur's success.  Being able to show potential investors that your product or service is "the next new thing"  and they should invest in you, takes an enormous persuasive effort.  Also, convincing potential customers that same thing, once your company is up and running, is an ongoing process that will be a vital part of your company's success.  These particular aspects of running a business should be something that all entrepreneurs have a firm grasp on, and that is the main thing I hope to take away from this class.
