More quotes by Steve Case
At the end of the day, the team you build is the company you build.
Steve Case
It's stunning to me what kind of an impact even one person can have if they have the right passion, perspective and are able to align the interest of a great team.
Steve Case
In the end, a vision without the ability to execute it is probably a hallucination.
Steve Case
One of the biggest challenges we had in the first decade was not that many people had personal computers. There weren't that many people to sell to, and it was hard to identify them.
Steve Case
You have to get along with people, but you also have to recognize that the strength of a team is different people with different perspectives and different personalities.
Steve Case
It's not about how to get started it's about how to get noticed.
Steve Case
I enjoyed high school and college, and I think I learned a lot, but that was not really my focus. My focus was on trying to figure out what businesses to start
Steve Case
I do think that a general liberal arts education is very important, particularly in an uncertain changing world
Steve Case
For better or worse, that is true with any new innovation, certainly any new technological innovation. There's many good things that come out of it, but also some bad things. All you can do is try to maximize the good stuff and minimize the bad stuff.
Steve Case
I'm probably never going to be satisfied with anything we do. I think there's always the possibility of doing better. And I'd say we're doing better than we were a year ago, in terms of delivery and quality of service, but nowhere near what we should be doing .
Steve Case
You're not just trying to do something marginally, incrementally better. You're doing something that is a fundamental paradigm shift, that will have exponential impact. That means it's harder to do, but ultimately, if it's successful, the impact it has is far greater.
Steve Case
I think it took us nine years to get one million subscribers to AOL, and then in the next nine years we went from one million to 35 million.
Steve Case
I want to find people who have had to work hard and who have learned from their failures. Perseverance is no guarantee you’ll succeed, but without it, it’s almost guaranteed you won’t.
Steve Case
You shouldn't focus on why you can't do something, which is what most people do. You should focus on why perhaps you can, and be one of the exceptions.
Steve Case
Nowadays people seem to switch schools, either because they have to, and certain schools only serve certain grades, or because they move to a different place or have some particular interest, but I was in the same school for 13 years
Steve Case
Frankly, I like new things. I feel like I made a contribution to building a more interactive world. And I'm proud of that.
Steve Case
At AOL, we thought the killer app was people
Steve Case
There are lots of cycles to markets - boom and bust - and also in perceptions of people. The conventional wisdom of Steve Case as genius or fool was highly cyclical. The truth was always in the middle.
Steve Case
Think about this: It was illegal for most people to connect to the internet before 1992.
Steve Case
And what we did with this new company in 1985 is we did start focusing on PCs instead of video game machines, because we learned the hard lesson about bringing a product to market in a consumer world where it's very expensive to build a brand and get distribution and so forth.
