- It's the brand's responsibility to get the job done and deliver results.
- Foster a culture where your team is not afraid to ask for help.
- Always focus on giving great customer experiences.
- You have to believe that short-term losses generate long-term returns.
- Make sure that being public doesn't change how you operate your business.
- Speed to failure; you’ll learn faster. Speed into product development; you’ll launch faster. The faster you move, the more you accomplish.
