The toughest decision you'll make as an entrepreneur is to actually be an entrepreneur. The second toughest decision: hiring the right people.

Finding the right talent to help you build your business can be a challenge. But knowing exactly what you're looking for can be a solid start – from the basic questions of roles and responsibilities to some of the more nuanced facets of hiring, understanding your goals is important to the hiring process.

Other attendees impressed the importance of employee retention, out-of-the-box thinking, and the need for a team with diverse and complementary strengths.
