It really is true that you become an average of the people you spend the most time with.
... how much time you should be spending on hiring? The answer is 0 or 25 percent.
In general though, if you look at the track record of pivots, they don't become big companies.
You don't get to make their decisions but you do get to choose the decision makers.
... and you can only have 2 or 3 things everyday, because everything else will just come at you; you know fires in a day.
One thing that founders always underestimate is how hard it is to recruit.
