To illustrate here's an adaptation of an old joke: Question: "How have you two managed to stay in business together for 20 years". Answer: "Neither one of us wanted to quit at exactly the same time."

I bet small teams can definitely help you stay passionate over a long period of time, if they're the right kind of small team. Small teams can also compete passion to death over long periods of time, I've found. There's usually one person's passion(s) who take precedence in the team... if they're yours, then you are in luck!

A small team helps you to stay passionate over a long period of time. Isolated thoughts have a way of competing with each other. External validation actually helps decide who wins, which is a good thing. This is a weakness of your “one person company” approach.
