We don't look at what happens in our business in six-month periods.

Entrepreneurs can't forecast accurately, because they are trying something fundamentally new. So they will often be laughably behind plan - and on the brink of success.

Every part of your business will change based on what I consider predictive analytics of the future.

As every entrepreneur and investor sifts through year-end data to predict the next trend or opportunity for financial success, there is a much easier way to accurately predict the future: hang out with those who are creating it.

You just can't get too focused on worrying about what's going to happen in the next quarter. You have to worry about where the business is headed long-term.

You don't know what's going to happen in our business a year from now... so you have to be flexible and adaptable, and that's what we try to do.

It is indeed true that the stock market can forecast the business cycle.

It would be troubling if everything is determined by whether profits will be made within five to six years.

You have to remember a lot of business is very cyclical.

The future will be less predictable, forecast rises will shrink, company lifetimes will shrink, new entrants will proliferate and it's going to just get more unpredictable.
