I rarely hire for specific expertise... I hire mostly for for smarts and passion. People who really want to excel... folks who are really proud about accomplishing something. Smart people can learn. Having experience doing something only means that they like the job, which is helpful to know in advance, but not the only criteria for success. re: 5) Spend when it will accelerate the business.

Just wanted to make sure I was quoted in context… I rarely hire for specific expertise… I hire mostly for for smarts and passion. People who really want to excel… folks who are really proud about accomplishing something. Smart people can learn. Having experience doing something only means that they like the job, which is helpful to know in advance, but not the only criteria for success.
re: 5) Spend when it will accelerate the business.
Right on the money!
