Great People:

Finding great people is tough. Today was a great day, we met a series of great people. With a diverse background. Nothing like that for building a great work environment. When building a company, it is a reflection of the people that make it up. The company DNA. It will feel a lot like you, but, if you do it right all you will feel is positive energy. Two companies that do this well are Google and Apple. Trying to pull bright people from these companies is near impossible.

Another important element in building a team is to make sure that all the people buy into the program. That they really drink the coolaid. If they don't get it, they should go to somewhere where they will.

Cheers,
