There's this joy that comes from sitting down to solve a problem and standing up when it's done and good. Building a company or managing people is never just done.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Employees can make happiness when they maximize their brainwork voluntarily and enthusiastically. Management should focus on setting up an atmosphere.
My goal was never to just create a company. A lot of people misinterpret that, as if I don't care about revenue or profit or any of those things. But what not being just a company means to me is not being just that - building something that actually makes a really big change in the world.
The good news about building a company during times like this is that the companies that do succeed are going to be extremely strong and resilient.
I don't create companies for the sake of creating companies, but to get things done.
Every company, every boardroom in which I sit, has a plan, and they have objectives, goals, and a process. And to make it work, the pressure and incentive have to come from the top.
Our company is built on people - those who work for us, and those we do business with.
Building businesses takes tremendous stamina, and success isn't achieved without it.
Like any small business owner, I experienced the pressures of building a company from the ground up - developing a business plan, balancing the books, meeting payroll and building a customer base.
I enjoy building more than managing.
Building a company isn't that different from climbing a big mountain. You need people helping you traverse treacherous paths and to lift you up when you fall.
