I want to build something I'd be happy to be employed by 10 years out.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not somebody who is going to build something for a few years, sell it, and then go off and just have fun.
From the beginning... I wanted to build a company that could sustain not for two years or four years or even ten years but be something that really matters over time the way Amazon and Google and others have.
Some wonderful things have taken 10 years to make.
I'd love to be part of the process of building cars.
But I've consistently worked for 10 years.
Ten-year plan? No, three-year plan! I'm in a hurry.
I'm trying to have some longevity in this business. If that means not working for a while and just picking the right job, so be it.
I am always looking to the future of making things.
My advice to fledgling entrepreneurs is always the same: build a company that you plan to be with for the next 10 years - that is the best way to increase your chances of success.
It's all about the money. Write a check, and you can build anything you want.
