I could imagine, some number of years from now, starting my own company. But not yet. Not for a while.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that there was a period of time - and I would reckon it was about 12 years - where I was just determined to see if I could build a career for myself.
When I started in the business in 1999 and 2000, we had companies that were going public in two, three or four years.
I believe that every business and company takes two years to establish.
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.
I worked in IT for about three years for a tiny firm with ten other people.
I started my first business at 14!
It was really a very small company when I started and it changed very rapidly during those first periods.
I always wanted to have my own company. It was a psychological issue.
As the years passed, and I was nine, 10, 11 years old, it became obvious I was going to start up a business of some sort.
I've been preparing to run a big company all my life.
