Everyone is your best friend when you are successful. Make sure that the people that you surround yourself with are also the people that you are not afraid of failing with.

Surround yourself with good people. Whether they're the best or not people are capable of learning if they've got good hearts and they're good souls.

Surround yourself with the best people you can find delegate authority and don't interfere as long as the policy you've decided upon is being carried out.
