At the time it was acquired, we had 20 people. Some people love it.

The truth is, when it comes to starting a business and becoming an entrepreneur, there are a number of clichés that you will come across and that you need to be aware of so that you do not fall prey to. The idea that the entrepreneur does everything and is everybody is a cliché. Consider: in about 1993, Apple released the Apple Newton.
