Company Quotes

You know, as most entrepreneurs do, that a company is only as good as its people. The hard part is actually building the team that will embody your company culture and propel you forward Picture Quote #1

Countries don’t go out of business... The infrastructure doesn’t go away, the productivity of the people doesn’t go away, the natural resources don’t go away.

When you make a company, you make a utopia. It’s where you design your perfect world Picture Quote #1

In my life, there have always been people who guided my path, towards the school, towards this company. I didn’t know about any of it. I didn’t have a plan. It’s good fortune and generosity from other people that have given me all I have today Picture Quote #1

How much harm does a company have to do before we question its right to exist? Picture Quote #1

Previous to this time I had never even a balloon except from a distance. Being interested in their construction, I was about to institute a thorough examination of all its parts, when the aeronaut announced that all was ready. He inquired whether I desired to go up alone, or he should accompany me. My desire, if frankly expressed, would have been not to go up at all; but if I was to go, company was certainly desirable. With an attempt at indifference, I intimated that he might go along Picture Quote #1

I would happily storm hell in the company of these troops... how strongly they have demonstrated to the world that free men and women can fight like the dickens Picture Quote #1

To me it seems pretty obvious that it would be simple to build a business around helping people achieve autonomy, a feeling of competence and relatedness. In fact, every web company that has been successful thusfar has their business build solidly on one or all of these. And I believe that as people discover that these things are within their reach, they will gravitate more and more towards companies that offer tools to helping them achieve happiness Picture Quote #1

Driving stock up from one day to the next is not what we are about. We are about building a good company and performing for the long term. I know everyone says that, that sounds trite when I repeat it that way, but that is and has always been our attitude about our business. If we do the right things, the stock price will take care of itself, and our shareholders will be rewarded Picture Quote #1

Our attitude is that if you hire good people and pay them a fair wage, then good things will happen for the company Picture Quote #1

What starting your company means: you will lose your stable income, your right to apply for a leave of absence, and your right to get a bonus. However, it also means your income will no longer be limited, you will use your time more effectively, and you will no longer need to beg for favours from people anymore Picture Quote #1

Women asking for raises should not only know their value, but they should ask with the confidence that they’re helping the company to be successful Picture Quote #1

If the practices and processes inside a company don’t drive the execution of values, then people don’t get it. The question is, do you create a culture of behavior and action that really demonstrates those values and a reward system for those who adhere to them? Picture Quote #1

You have to combine both things: invention and innovation focus, plus the company that can commercialize things and get them to people Picture Quote #1

You must develop a sense of what you can contribute that goes beyond 1 company or organization. A career path today will likely involve moving from organization to organization, creating a picture of rising circles, rather than a vertical ladder. In fact, a vertical rise within one organization will very likely move you away from your strongest areas of competence Picture Quote #1

We are the most focused company that I know of or have read of or have any knowledge of. We say no to good ideas every day. We say no to great ideas in order to keep the amount of things we focus on very small in number, so that we can put enormous energy behind the ones we do choose... It’s not just saying yes to the right products, it’s saying no to many products that are good ideas, but just not nearly as good as other ones Picture Quote #1
