Fantasy team for web startups

Having started a few small self promotional websites, my interest was peaked by this article. The bottom line from the article is, if you're going to do a web startup, the best skillsets for your core team listed in order of importance:
  1. Developer: A real geek that knows JAVA, XML, HTML etc.
  2. Designer: Good user interface designer
  3. Inbound Marketer/Recruiter: Someone who knows how to find and attract skilled people.
  4. Sales Person: That would be me.

Of course if a person possessed more than one of these skills listed, they would be a very valuable person! You can read more about it here: http://bit.ly/liwebmix

Response: A key to happiness

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom.
