Anytime there is a new, interesting space that comes along, there are a bunch of companies that enter the market.

The biggest barrier to starting a company isn't ideas, funding or experience. It's excuses.

It's no surprise companies that quickly grow in value attract those who may want to also profit from the hard work of others.

Building a company isn't that different from climbing a big mountain. You need people helping you traverse treacherous paths and to lift you up when you fall.

Successful companies hire people.

It's hard to tell with these Internet startups if they're really interested in building companies or if they're just interested in the money. I can tell you, though: If they don't really want to build a company, they won't luck into it. That's because it's so hard that if you don't have a passion, you'll give up.

For those working menial jobs or putting in 100-hour weeks for corporations, the lure of starting your own business can seem like a great way to get more flexibility, upside, and ownership.

Many entrepreneurs, and the venture investors who back them, seek to build billion-dollar companies.

The big companies are like, It's so good but we don't know how to market it.

Successful companies obviously have people with ideas and energy.
