The only way for an entrepreneur to gain more of their second most precious resource, time, is to recruit rocketship individuals. Hiring is so important for entrepreneurs because a bad hire can actually decrease this precious resource.

Introduction

A team is important for an entrepreneur starting a new business because it provides a range of skills, perspectives, and experiences that can help the business succeed. A team can help identify and assess opportunities, develop and implement strategies, and manage resources and risks. A team can also provide support, motivation, and accountability, which are essential for overcoming challenges and achieving goals. Additionally, a team can help the entrepreneur expand their network and build relationships with key stakeholders, such as customers, suppliers, and investors. Overall, a team can help the entrepreneur leverage their strengths and enhance their chances of success in starting a new business.
