I've been preparing to run a big company all my life.

We're building a great company, and we're very excited about the future of the company.

It's interesting - a lot of what you accomplish in your lifetime either as an individual or as a company is determined by other people. I mean, you can do interview after interview and defend a point of view, but more often than not, the collective kind of opinion will be the one viewed historically and taken as gospel.

In a small company, you often see a lot more of what goes on in a broader range of things. And that's good.

Your employees have lots of opinions about everything - your strategy and vision; the state of the competition; the quality of your products; the vibe in the workplace. There are tons of things you can learn from them.

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

I've got an opinion on everything, so I should go into management.

I had a financial page to write in the Mail on Sunday where I'd give tips on shares. I worked there for two and a half years. Nothing compares to the burst of energy felt on a newsroom floor when a big story breaks.

I've tended to work at fast-growing companies that improve the way business gets done.

It's a success story here in Michigan. We have hiring going on. We have new industries going on.
