Listen to all the trite stupid advice you ever heard about HR because if you try to carry any dead weight it will make you weep with pain but motivated employees who are stoked about being on the team will make 90 hours a week sound fun.
Also don't fuck with the lawyers or VCs but don't be scared either. Know exactly what and why you want it and they will respect you. Write a 40 page business plan, documents detailing work divisions, operations, everything. Then once you have all this data toss it in the shredder and be flexible. The excercise of thinking through the plan is key but the implementation can never be static. Luck!
