One thing I've come to learn about myself is that I have to keep going.
From Andrew Mason
Am I as experienced, or mature, or smart as others CEOs? No probably not, but there's something, I think, very useful about having a founder as the CEO.
I've been very lucky, from the beginning. I've found that as long as you're fundamentally good - as long as you're not being bad to people - people give you a lot of room to be yourself, because being yourself is being honest. And that's what people want to see.
One of the things I realized... is how few success stories there are in websites or products or businesses that exist primarily for an altruistic purpose.
Life is not about money.
Life is too short to be a boring company.
If you don't have those moments where you go too far, then you're probably not going far enough.
Most small business owners are not particularly sophisticated business people. That's not a criticism; they're passionate about cutting hair or cooking food, and that's why they got in the business, not because they have an MBA.
I didn't realize how hard it was to run a small business.
Most of the time, the things that really change the world exist for something fundamentally selfish and then the world-changing ends up being a side-effect of that.
