... how much time you should be spending on hiring? The answer is 0 or 25 percent.

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

... you want to be proud of how much you can get done with a small numbers of employees.

The best source by far for hiring is people that you already know and people that other employees in the company already know.

I think the best thing you can do is be aware that as a first time founder you are likely to be a very bad manager.

You certainly don't need to have everything figured out in the path from here to world domination.

Don't let the company get distracted or excited about other things. A common mistake is that companies get excited by their own PR.
