Remember that the idea will expand, and become more ambitious as you go.

You think you have this great idea that everyone's going to come join, but that's not how it works.

Whatever the founder cares about, whatever the founders think are the key goals, that's going to be what the whole company focusses on.

If someone is getting every decision wrong, that's when you need to act, and at that point it'll be painfully aware to everyone.

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

Someday, you need to build a business that's difficult to replicate. This is an important part of a good idea.

You also want people who are maniacally determined and that is slightly different than having a risk tolerant attitude.
