Build a Tightly-Knit Team, Not a Transactional Workplace

• A purely professional, transactional workplace where employees are just free agents checking in and out is not a rational model for a startup.
• Since time is your most valuable asset, it should be invested in building durable, long-term relationships with colleagues.
• A team that genuinely enjoys working together is not only happier but also more effective and successful in the long run, even beyond the life of the company.
• This approach fosters a "mafia" dynamic, where a strong, loyal network of colleagues continues to support each other's success for years to come.
