I believe that every business and company takes two years to establish.

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.

Somehow, the company must stay true to the founding vision while avoiding the pitfalls of rapid growth - and perhaps survive the hiring of a previously successful executive who doesn't work out.

11 years is a long time in this industry.

You know, a lot of people are just interested in, in building a company so they can make money and get out.
