Another way of looking at this, is that the best companies are almost always mission oriented.

Mediocre founders spend a lot of time talking about grand plans, but they never quite make a decision.

If you compromise in the first five, ten hires it might kill the company.

It really is true that you become an average of the people you spend the most time with.

Developing a personal connection with anyone you're trying to do a big deal with is really important.

One thing that founders forget is that after they hire employees, they have to retain them.

The most important thing is that there is clear reporting structure and everyone knows what it is.
