This article may have been helpful to Jacob at the start of his businesses. www.thebalancesmb.com/why-business-partnerships-fail-4107045 Jacob speaks proudly of his team and brought the interesting point of asking potential employees about the hobbies and projects they have on the side. He explained that many of them work on side projects together. He believes it is important for them to use the valleys between customer projects to work on some of these side projects as part of the corporate culture and he will fund some aspects of these projects.
