- Team Building: Instead of agonizing over finding the perfect co-founder, it's far more economical and efficient to hire 2-3 imperfect employees (which can include AI Agents).
- Growth Strategy: To achieve greater business growth, the key is to do less (stay focused on the core) rather than blindly doing more.
