If you're co-founder or CEO, you have to do all kinds of tasks you might not want to do... If you don't do your chores, the company won't succeed... No task is too menial.

People work better when they know what the goal is and why. It is important that people look forward to coming to work in the morning and enjoy working.

A company is a group organized to create a product or service, and it is only as good as its people and how excited they are about creating. I do want to recognize a ton of super-talented people. I just happen to be the face of the companies.

It is a mistake to hire huge numbers of people to get a complicated job done. Numbers will never compensate for talent in getting the right answer (two people who don't know something are no better than one), will tend to slow down progress, and will make the task incredibly expensive.

I don't think it's a good idea to plan to sell a company.

Brand is just a perception, and perception will match reality over time. Sometimes it will be ahead, other times it will be behind. But brand is simply a collective impression some have about a product.

They don't want a fair competition. They don't even want an unfair competition. They want no competition at all.

Nie ma nic złego w stawianiu wszystkiego na jedną kartkę pod warunkiem, że to ty decydujesz co się z tą kartą dzieje

There's a tremendous bias against taking risks. Everyone is trying to optimize their ass-covering.

I think it would be great to be born on Earth and to die on Mars. Just hopefully not at the point of impact.

I think it's very important to have a feedback loop, where you're constantly thinking about what you've done and how you could be doing it better.

Persistence is very important. You should not give up unless you are forced to give up.

The path to the CEO's office should not be through the CFO's office, and it should not be through the marketing department. It needs to be through engineering and design.

Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.

Some people don't like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster.

When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.
