  • “Strategy is figuring out what not to do.” ~ Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple
  • “You can only do so many things great, and you should cast aside everything else.” ~ Tim Cook, CEO of Apple
  • “I remember really vividly, you know, having pizza with my friends a day or two after — I opened up the first version of Facebook at the time I thought, ‘You know, someone needs to build a service like this for the world. But I just never thought that we’d be the ones to help do it. And I think a lot of what it comes down to is we just cared more.” ~ Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder of Facebook.
  • “All businesses need to be young forever.  If your customer base ages with you, you’re Woolworth’s.” ~ Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon
  • “Our idea was that these computers were going to free us and allow us to organize. They were going to empower us. We could sit down and write programs that did more than our company’s programs on their big million-dollar computers did. And little fifth-graders would go into companies and write a better program than the top gurus being paid the top salary, and it was going to turn the tables over. We were excited by this revolutionary talk.” ~ Steve Wozniak, former CEO of Apple
  • “My job as a leader is to make sure everybody in the company has great opportunities, and that they feel they’re having a meaningful impact and are contributing to the good of society. As a world, we’re doing a better job of that. My goal is for Google to lead, not follow that.” ~ Larry Page, co-founder Google
  • “You always hear the phrase, money doesn’t buy you happiness. But I always in the back of my mind figured a lot of money will buy you a little bit of happiness. But it’s not really true. I got a new car because the old one’s lease expired.” ~ Sergey Brin, co-founder Google
  • “Steve Jobs brought in Tim Cook (current Apple CEO) to improve the supply chain.  The rest as they say is history.” ~EverythingSupplyChain.com.
