What are you doing? Why does it matter?
Can you do this, and do I want to do this with you?

Startups have to build teams.

We build based on a belief in our idea and the group of people who are committed to making it real- can and will execute the concept. There is a shared sense of risk, and a willingness to work in that context.

The culture of a start up is defined by every interaction. How do you build relationships, and with whom? What’s the energy and atmosphere you align yourself with as much as the one you create from how you say hello, and what you choose to make time to attend.

Start ups are not glamorous, they take a lot of hard work. Successful teams focus on what they can do together, and the change they are bringing to the world, one small set of adopters at a time. It’s not about risk for risk’s sake, or an adrenaline high for the unknown.

Start up teams that succeed share drive, and a willingness to say, “We made a mistake, here’s what we are doing next.” Full stop. No whinge fest or blame game or “Yeah but…” Instead those teams share a relentlessness to solve and go onward.

A consistent theme I’ve noticed with the most successful teams is at the core those teams want to succeed more than they are afraid.

They thrive with emergent, concurrent and shifting challenges.

Grit is in their DNA.
