As a competitor, you have to learn pretty quickly how to deal with pressure.
In today's roller-coaster economy, hyper-competitive, fear-based, flat and global world, convincing anyone to do anything at any time requires getting their attention, creating their intention and turning it to action.
The idea of competition, particularly in a creative atmosphere, is always there. And, if you don't acknowledge that, you are doing yourself and the process a disservice.
Competition can be the most nerve-racking experience. Some people just thrive on it.

As a competitor, you want to be out there in the fire with your teammates.
The challenge in a startup is you hit a lot of turbulence, and you want people who understand that it's just turbulence and not a crisis.
