Funding and Ownership
- Entrepreneurs must decide early on whether to self-fund and retain full ownership or raise capital and dilute equity.
- Companies built on initial sales and cash flow can be the most fulfilling.
Hiring a CEO
- In the beginning, the entrepreneur is responsible for everything in the company.
- However, entrepreneurs don't always have to be the CEO; they can hire one, especially for day-to-day tasks.
Follow Your Passion and Unique Ability
- True entrepreneurs are driven by passion, not solely by money.
- Find and focus on your unique ability, then partner with others who complement your skills.
