Good Advice for 2011 from a successful business owner

Hire a dream team. No one can be everywhere at once. You must have the right team in place to be successful in any business. I always try to hire the best. I look for an outstanding portfolio, a relentless work ethic, and an ambitious streak. Unfortunately, even if you screen thoroughly, you'll inevitably end up hiring some folks who just don't pull their weight. For the sake of your business, you must be willing to let those team members go. Ineffective employees will eventually drag down company morale and will sap company profits because of their lack of productivity.
