5. I would have gathered a much larger team with closer friends.
I think in order to gather a team, you have to have to things working for you. Your timing has to be right and your location needs to be strategic.

Because of missing the timing, I think we missed the best opportunity to gather a team with our closest friends that would have followed our lead.
