Jack Dorsey, the original creator and Co-founder of Twitter, gave a presentation at the 99% Conference about the keys to Twitter’s success.  I think Jack’s first three ideas…

1. Draw: get your idea out of your head and share it
2. Luck: assess when the time (and the market) is right to execute your idea
3. Iterate: take in the feedback, be a rigorous editor, and refine your idea.

…are fairly straight forward…but his fourth (starts around 14.22) is probably the hardest for entrepreneurs to grasp (at least I know it is for myself!)
