technology want way
They can bring the technology in, then you can sell to the enterprise when they want to have better control, better security... you still have the same biz model as a traditional enterprise sw company, but the way to get into the company is through the end user.
jobs way sometimes
Sometimes things are the way they are and can't be changed, other times it's because no one ever tried. Your job is to find the latter.
starting-out way disruption
The only way to avoid disruption is to constantly do what you would if you were just starting out.
way trends implementation
Better to be right about the trend and wrong about the implementation, than the other way around.
done way assumption
Start with the assumption that the best way to do something is not the way it's being done right now.

My workday begins around 11 A.M., with a cup of black coffee in each hand. If I had more hands, there would be more coffee.

Every single industry is going through a major business model and technology oriented disruption.
pride thinking organization
There's a lot of pride that business owners have. It's actually really critical that pride and ownership extends to everyone in the organization. I think of everyone is in the same boat in driving the company forward.
building software enterprise
We didn't really start the company to go build an enterprise software company.
long focus today
Focus too much on the near-term and you won't get tomorrow's customers, focus too much on the long-term and you won't get today's.
trying too-late late
Better to be too early and have to try again, than be too late and have to catch up.
winning bridges giants
The product that wins is the one that bridges customers to the future, not the one that requires a giant leap.
