Who you know or what you know? You need the “who” to build a business Get connected with the people who know better than you Let yourself be dumb, but give value What you need to do as CEO Fundraise – make sure money is coming in Preach the mission and vision of the company Hire people much smart than you The balance of casting vision and giving ownership to your team You need to get the core values in order Who you’re doing it for, why, and how to do it Once they understand the vision like you, they will work like you Developing the skill of networking if it’s not natural to you Make decisions out of love not fear It’s about them not about you
