Building business is a team sport. If I was a pianist, I'd do it all by myself, much less coordination. It's just me, right? If I had to put 15 hours to play piano and be perfect at it, probably would be easier. But when you have to have a bunch of folks coming together, and you need A players that are independent thinkers, that take ownership, they have their own thoughts and opinions to get them all coming together, that's the hardest part of building any business. - Manjoj Ramnani
