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

I recognize that virtually every company that comes in here has a perspective. It's often not difficult to understand why they have the perspective that they have.

Good decisions can have bad short-term outcomes but be great for the business long-term.

I definitely see a correlation between how many things a company gets right and how fast a company grows.

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

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.

So it takes years to make a solid company.

I think businesses live longer that are on the stock market.

As the CEO, I have to take care of the short term, mid term and the long term.

The big companies are the private industry. But they're faced with a short-term need to show a profit in short-term.
