The core 4 - The greatest business lesson I've ever learned

*What terrible likeness*

You just can't do it all. Lord knows I've tried. For years I would start businesses and think I could run every one of them. It simply isn't possible to be a serial entrepreneur without building a great team to support you.

These days I won't start anything without someone to run it. Cultivating my team is my main responsibility. That's why so many of the people in my office get a piece of the action. I have to have them. It's leverage. The more talent I have the better the organization performs. It's really that basic.

I know it sounds cliché to say that the people are the most important asset but its the truth. After all, the company's activities are performed by people. The better the people the better the company performs those activities.

So this is my shout out to the other 3 members of the core-4.

Toby Clements - The best domain broker the world has ever known.

David Clements - The fearless leader of our fast growing auction business.

Ryan Steel - The jack of all trades who has worn many hats in our organization and now heads up our consumer site division. You'll hear more about that soon enough.

Cheers to you! I wouldn't be here without you guys.
