Communication is a  factor that generally  affects the  entrepreneurial behaviour. In simple words, communication is the process by which the information is however  transmitted and is thus  understood between two or more people. The word ‘understood’ is generally very  important because it results in  transmitting the sender’s intended meaning which is considered as  the essence of good communication.
In business, an entrepreneur however  needs i n order  to have communication for various purposes with the  different persons and parties. Entrepreneurs generally  spend lot of their time and theri  energy in communicating with the  employees, suppliers, institutions, customers, and many more.

1.   Not communicating across the  teams
"Communication is considered as the  essential to driving a collaboration in business. The entrepreneurs generally  work cross-functionally on a daily basis, and the strong communication between the  teams is always  what keeps their  company in  moving forward at such a rapid pace."

2. Keeping the  employees in the dark about the company vision
Sometimes, the  high level strategy conversations about the big picture generally  happen behind the  closed doors. When the  leaders don't end up communicating  those larger goals with their teams that are however  going to be executing that vision, it can however  create frustration and also  a lack of unity and clarity. One however  can't assume that the  employees will thus  connect the dots from the lofty vision to their day-to-day work. Thus its  really important in order to share learnings, celebrate wins both  big and small and should also  give people a broader perspective as to  what's happening in the industry, in order to help everyone to  feel connected to the business and the mission and also their place in executing against it .

3. Assuming others already understand
However , not being thorough enough and then  assuming the fact that  people understand what one means. It's generally  safe in order  to assume nothing, and then in order  to over communicate or over.

4. Keeping the vision too under the radar
One must however never assume that others generally  know the vision and the  brand. One must always ask questions, give information and then should make sure that one’s  vision is thus  ultimately the one being communicated when one is starting the  company

5. Not being transparent about the  mistakes
transparency is generally  absolutely considered as  critical for the company culture and one must always  hope that one  bleeds over to the way they  love and then engage with the customers!

6. Not scaling the communication as the business grows

Communication always  needs change as the size of the business changes. Especially in the  high-growth businesses and also  those with remote staff, it can however  be even more challenging.

7. Communicating too loosely with structured personalities
Entrepreneurs are however  usually considered as  looser communicators by nature, and one must however not always take the time in order to make sure that everyone is however  100 percent on the same page with the  expectations, and then one has to  change their  minds a lot.

8. Relying on digital communication too heavily
The biggest mistake is generally considered as  relying upon the  digital communication (text messages and emails). A lot can however be lost in translation. One must not be afraid in order  to pick up the phone or either schedule in person meetings. People are however considered as  more complex than work and it also  serves everyone well in order to feel as if they are a part of something which is  bigger. This can however  only be achieved through in the person meetings or either over the phone. Some signals can however be misconstrued via email or text.

9.  Not directing new employees clearly about their roles
In the  early stage companies, entrepreneurs may however  be the product visionaries, but they're also often considered as  inexperienced when it however  comes to managing the  people.  Clear communication with the early hires about responsibilities, expectations, and the  goals -- both the  short-term and long-term -- is geenrally  critically important to success

10. Not communicating AT ALL
a real challenge for the  entrepreneurs is however not communicating at all. When one wears a multitude of hats and is however  used to using sheer will and the determination in order  to move things forward it’s generally  easy in order  to put one’s head down and then  just focus on getting the things done. Whether is brainstorming, delegating, or either planning for the future the best ideas are thus  often seeded with one person but are however  brought to life by a group.
