“Some people may think that

however, that most of the

Invite people to join you.
“Don’t be afraid to invite people
to join the business with you
early on. It takes confidence in
yourself and your long-term
vision to invite people in when
your paychecks are still small.
But if you can wrangle your
fears and invite people in, there
will be no stopping you.”
