money eclipse the net worth of Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Jeff
             Bezos combined. I have read almost all books with Andrew's name
             on it because there is so much wisdom to learn from this man. He
             was the brain behind the great book by Napoleon Hill, ‘Think and
             Grow Rich'.
             Andrew Carnegie said in his words that he didn’t know much about
             the steel business technically, but he was adept at finding the right
             people to do a great job for him. This is the reason why I have
             brought him into  this picture to discuss this element of
             WATERFALL called TEAM.
             Let me start with the solopreneurs because this may just fly off
             their heads talking about the team because they may wrongly think
             that  they are not  ready for  this yet. Building a team is not
             necessarily employing people directly. In a global environment that
             we are right now, you can get people to help you with anything
             from  graphics,  adverts,  advice,  programming,  etc.  One  of  the
             biggest competitive advantages you can learn is to choose the
             right people to partner with in realizing your dream. In my
             experience,  people  discount  consultants,  coaches  and  mentors
             because they feel it is an additional cost. This is what I describe
             as penny wise but pound foolish because one insight from your
             coach may transform your business for good. The consultant may
             just take off you that thing which is hard for you and implement for
             you because of his accumulated knowledge in  this  area.  In
             entrepreneurship,  there  are  those  rare  individuals  called  ‘FULL
             STACK PEOPLE' and they are usually the best at doing business
             especially at the beginning when resources are limited. They know
             how to do most things and they learn very fast and they are sought
             after because of this talent. However, focusing on your strength
             will give you exponential results. According to Peter Drucker, you
             can improve on your strength to a world-class level, but you can
             only improve your weakness to the level of average. That's a very
             great insight because when you focus on improving your strength
             you get a greater value than you put in. Do you remember the
             asymmetry  we  discussed  earlier  about  your  input  generating  a
             disproportionate higher  output? When you operate from your
             position of strength in your business, you are likely to get results
             quicker. Having said that, there are several moving parts in the
             business and so many things that must be done that is outside
