You cannot think about who you need on your team soon enough. Now don't worry, I'm not about to launch into a fuzzy touchy feely post along the lines of "there's no 'i' in team" etc.
Although some sayings like that are worth sharing. One that I heard a long time ago now, but which still brings a smile to my face is "eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines".
Ha ha. Not sure that is such a good business ethic, but I guess I like it because it pokes fun at those stomach churning phrases and glossy colour stock photo's that addorned office walls everywhere at one stage.
Anyway - I'm off topic already! Team. Think about who you need, before you need them. Because it will take time to find them. And get people who can grow into roles. They will be hungry. Don't be afraid to get people in who are smarter than you in some areas of the business - you need them - YOU CANNOT DO EVERYTHING. You may feel like Superman or Woman now, but after 2 years, you are going to be like the walking dead if you cannot hand things off early.
Much more on this to come..
