Of course, that means a new level of risk, giving up some control, and a new business plan. Most entrepreneurs are mavericks, and their passion drove their new business. Hire more help than helpers. You don’t have the bandwidth to keep filling positions with more helpers. There is no free lunch.

One of the biggest myths I still see in the community of new entrepreneurs is the assumption that “All I need is a good idea, and some investor will give me the big money I need to build the business.” In reality, investors fund good business plans, not big dreams. Don’t hire any employees. It’s all in the execution.

The sad reality is that most business initiatives - no matter how good our intentions or how brilliant we might think they are, and whether they be new products, new marketing strategies, new hires, process improvements - don''t work. The most likely return on a new hire…is exactly what you pay him or her. And thus more fun.
