Here is the best kind of product and team!
I believe doing business with people that need what you have and are willing to provide something you need in exchange is a very poor approach to business. There is no foresight in it. The best business are done between people that believe in a common worthy goal for the overall outcome of the business.
To put it directly, you should do business with people who believe what you believe about that business. The results will be enormous and will far exceed your individual capacities to deliver.
Human beings are belief oriented. Apart from self defense, belief is one of the few other things humans will willingly give their everything and even die for. When you have a team of people that believe in the same goal, you have one single man in different bodies with different skill sets. That’s a monster!
Belief supersedes skill, because when a person believes, they’ll soon acquire the skill. Not only skill, they’ll soon find a way, funds, team, location and profit.
Belief.

It unleashes the beast in humans. When you create a product that your users believe in, forget it! They’ll pay you forever. Its the best kind of product.
They’ll not only buy your product, they’ll contribute to it in every good way they can, fork the project and send endless pull requests, buy the product and all its plugins, send helpful suggestions to support.
They’ll hold self-funded meetings and boot-camps in their local communities on your behalf, make your product trend on twitter, fight for you, donate to your cause and market it as if their lives depend on it.
All for one reason, they believe. In recent years, we have witnessed a handful of enterprises achieving this in some of their products — Apple, Google, Wikipedia, Github, MMM, IPOB and so on.
A deep thought, you should give this. A product people believe in, you must build.
