Teamwork or solo

Working with a team can slow down your pace in that it often requires more communication and coordination than working alone.
When you're working solo, you can make decisions quickly and act on them without having to get input or buy-in from others.
In a team setting, however, you need to make sure that everyone is on the same page and that decisions are made collectively. This can take time, especially if there are differing opinions or perspectives among team members.

Let's look at this as a sports. Even when you are playing a solo sports like Tennis, you have a coach, trainers, managers, your family and people who support all around you. But you have to perform well at the individual level for your team to be successful. If you truly want to win the game and the industry, solo won't take you far. It has to be done with the team, however, you will be accountable for the quality of the solo work you perform. Hope this makes sense.

I think there is a very good saying out there, which is a nice answer to your question:
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
I'm a solo founder right now, but I definitely know that as soon as traction picks up, a team needs to be formed. What are your thoughts @jerryton_surya1?

Both teamwork and solo work have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of whether to work alone or with a team depends on the specific project and context.
Working solo can be great for tasks that require a high level of focus and individual expertise, where quick decision-making is important and you don't need to coordinate with others. However, for larger and more complex projects, working with a team can offer several benefits, such as:
Diverse perspectives and skills: Working with a team allows you to tap into a wider range of skills and expertise, which can help you to generate better ideas and solutions.
Shared workload: When you're working alone, you may end up taking on too much work or neglecting certain tasks. In a team setting, you can divide up the workload and ensure that everyone is contributing their fair share.
Accountability: Working with a team can help keep you accountable and motivated, as you have others to answer to and collaborate with.
That being said, working with a team can also have its challenges, as you noted. It's important to establish clear communication channels and processes, set expectations, and ensure that everyone is aligned on goals and objectives. Ultimately, the choice of whether to work solo or with a team depends on the specific project and your personal preferences and strengths.
