We believe that we have a viable business model that is not unlike any other media company that's existed over the last 80 years. It's just that our publishing medium is the Internet. There are challenges in keeping your company funded, in increasing the revenue and in the path to profitability. That is the challenge. Everyone is a part of the same mission.
Business is about people.
You also need certain leadership qualities that I think I am lucky to have. Furthermore, you just have to have some gut instinct. For the sake of the company, it's important for the employees of these Internet companies to really believe in what they are doing. Therefore, a Web programmer that doesn't understand his audience can't build an effective and successful Web site. I think it's keeping the company's general morale high.
