Frustrating...Wanting to see fantastic results from day 1 and it never happens. Start up life is a total rollercoaster.
Rewarding...Seeing a random stranger using your product and raving about how it has changed her life for the better.

Hiring the wrong people
1. Slow steady growth...It's a marathon, not a sprint.
2. Focus is key. Shiny objects can kill a great business.
3. Hire for what you need right now. Not for what you need in 2 years.
