In a small company, you often see a lot more of what goes on in a broader range of things. And that's good.

A company gets better at the things it practices.

I've tended to work at fast-growing companies that improve the way business gets done.

Clearly as you move to being a public company, probably even more than growth, there is a huge value based on predictability.

Usually, the biggest companies are not the most dynamic.

You don't know this when you're young, but over time, you see that great companies are usually built at a special point in time.

I think that companies always become complacent, over time. Or most companies, that is.

Great companies have to manage the cadence of what they do.

Growth is kinda built into everyone's genes. It's built into management's genes, the salesman's genes, the investors' desires. People expect companies to grow.

Personally, I feel that a company which looks at problems of other companies and learns from their mistakes is a successful one.
