Just strive to make sure your team partners:
Are diligent and will go the extra mile.
Have integrity and the type you would trust holding your wallet if need be.
Are creative, bright, and innovative.
Have solid stable easy going personalities. The kind that work well on a team and aren't confrontational, edgy, moody, etc. This is where a lot of teams fall apart if you don't get this right from the get go.
That aren't greedy and just looking out for themselves. You want partners that are team players, looking out for the team to win and accomplish the project objective not just themselves.
The type that will be there for you no matter what. The kind you can call at midnight and say I need you here now we have a crisis to handle, and they'll respond I'll be there in 5 minutes without hesitation.
You want to avoid partners that are cancerous and negative. One bad apple will demolish the spirit of your entire team. You need to master the art of knowing everything that is going on and be able to quickly spot the troublemakers negging out everyone else cause they don't get it or are dropping the ball and want company.
Get the losers and ball droppers out of there fast without hesitation.
You want people on your team that have big roledexs filled with contacts. Networking is crucial. You want to be in a meeting and know that out of 10 people someone will have a contact for the person you need for something.
You want partners that have a good sense of humor, that are fair and considerate of others, that can laugh in the face of challenges and adversity, not frown and quit.
Most of all you want achievers who will live and breath the venture. Mountain climbers that love obstacles so they can find ways around them and get to the goal despite all the things that don't go as planned or stand in the way of the mission. Achievers who will not quit no matter what. Invicible personalites with no fear in their hearts and mind.
When you build people like this on your teams you are unstoppable and can accomplish anything, and you'll find yourself having lots of successful ventures.
