In any business, you have to evolve.

And our size: The company this year is going to be close to $50 billion, so if that's the case and you can continue to grow that fast, I would rather put my energies to solving customer problems and growing our business than worrying about integrating and laying people off.

There is so much uncertainty out there, and the government in Washington doesn't seem to get it. What's needed is a new business environment.

Our ultimate goal is to stay in business. We are not here with a specific plan. That's kind of how our entire career has evolved. We will figure things out as we go along.

There's no way you can predict what is going to happen in six months or two years in most businesses, and certainly not for businesses that are growing at the rate that we have grown.

You have to stick out the toughness of the business and form relationships with the people in it.

So we have a commitment to the business and to its people.

You change your business plan to anticipate and adapt to changes in the marketplace.

So many of the major decisions that affect the entire future of your enterprise happen during its first year in business. In fact, most don't make it because they don't know how to get the resources they need to survive.
