You should focus on one or two main pursuits to avoid spreading yourself too thin and not excelling at anything.

In the early stages of your career, focus on helping others succeed and what you learn, rather than just your own accomplishments.

If you find someone who excels in multiple areas, make them a co-founder, but only if you've known them for a while.

Optimize for your strengths rather than your weaknesses, especially early in your career.

Don't overly focus on the specific skills your co-founder has today; instead, prioritize their ability to learn and adapt as the startup evolves.

It's better to have an incomplete team than to have the wrong people in key positions; a founder should focus on their strengths and seek help for areas they are not proficient in.

You can learn a lot from being surrounded by people who are better than you, as it challenges you to improve.
