What can kids teach us about platforms?

When helping my children with math, one of the biggest struggles is to teach them to break math problems into small steps. They are smart and think they can do it in their head, and inevitably make mistakes because everything gets muddled.

When you break a math problem into steps, it is easy -- because each step is easy.

And writing out the steps is easy. It's not rocket science.

But what is not easy is the discipline to write out the problem step-by-step instead of rushing to the answer.

YOUR Platform is the same way -- it is breaking down problems into simple steps.

It's not rocket science.

But it does take discipline to create a checklist, document a process, break things down into smaller steps, automate some things, look for patterns, etc.

Getting to simplicity is hard, but once you get there, everything is easier.
