Our focus was directed at developing the best possible and easiest to use product, and this is where we invested our time. Realize that you won't be able to bring the same focus to everything in the beginning. There won't be enough people or enough hours in the day. So, focus on the 20 percent that makes 80 percent of the difference.
Marc BenioffPhilanthropy can be integrated into business. I believe strongly that companies can be incredible agents of good in the world.
Marc BenioffSome people would argue the other side: that the business of business is business, and companies should only be focused on profits. But in today's world, I don't think corporations can only be focused on profits, because they are inextricably linked with the communities that they serve. I do not believe you can be a leader in your industry without being a leader in your community. It's a fundamental shift in how you think about business.
Marc BenioffI always tell people: Life is the dance between what you desire most and what you fear most. You've got to be able to deal with the threshold of control.
