I saw that we needed to grow but our top line wasn't growing, so we had to find other ways to grow the business. We had to reshape our business and acquire share in a non conventional way. But most tech leaders don't come out of a business background. They really have a parochial point of view. All they know are the go-go years of Silicon Valley. That's the environment in which they were raised.

Larry Ellison

We started our company out of a need to survive, but we've built it based on a mission not only to help others survive but to prosper. In fact, we view ourselves as a mission with a business, rather than a business with a mission.

Richelieu Dennis

A business is not defined by its name, statutes, or articles of incorporation. It is defined by the business mission. Only a clear definition of the mission and purpose of the organization makes possible clear and realistic business objectives.

Peter Drucker

Silicon is all around but it's tied up in rocks... with these very strong silicon-oxygen bonds that living systems would have to break in order to use silicon.

Frances Arnold

Business purpose and business mission are so rarely given adequate thought is perhaps the most important cause of business frustration and failure.

Peter Drucker

Business is a spiritual pursuit. Your business will not grow unless you grow as a person

Tony Robbins

Once you start a business, you have to grow it and grow with it - starting a business is not just for Christmas.

Natalie Massenet

Profit isn't and shouldn't be the mission of business. The mission of business is to help people. To help your customers, your co-workers, your employees, and your partners. Success is not a number - it's not X dollars or Y customers - it's a measurement of VALUE.

Fran Tarkenton

In a family business, you grow up with close contact to the business, whatever it is, and the beer business is certainly a very social type of business.

Carlos Alvarez

I would still rather be in Silicon Alley. I like the West Coast also, but it's sort of fragmented. You have companies in downtown San Francisco, companies in Mountain View, and people are driving between them all. It's kind of nice in New York to just jump in a cab and reach another company so easily.

Jon Oringer

You have to grow! You grow as a person, and then you will grow in business.

Andrew Cherng

Building a mission and building a business go hand in hand. The primary thing that excites me is the mission. But we have always had a healthy understanding that we need to do both.
