Thank you, Libby.

Libby's 5 questions for you are:

1) Do you like the people? Firstly and most importantly, you need to ask yourself if you like the people. I describe it as like a marriage - they are going to be an integral part of your business for the next 3-5 years, so the right chemistry is vital.
