Don’t try and embellish your business, be transparent.

You may have started off on your own but it is not possible to continue that way. You need a good team. Build a team that has the same passion as you and understands your product or service just the way you do. They have to have the same fire in the belly as you do.

You also have to look into the angel because they have to have the same interests as you do. Ultimately, they will be becoming a part of your dream. Therefore, it is important that you know whom you are aligning yourself with.
