Behind the founder: Marc Benioff

We have to be cultivating our beginner's mind. In the beginner's mind, I have every possibility, but in the expert's mind, I have few, and in some cases, maybe none.

I look at myself as a startup. I am a startup CEO. I'm a startup entrepreneur. I'm still at the beginning of Salesforce.

I'm throwing everything against the wall. I'm looking at what's going to stick. I am looking to try to find the winning tactic and turn it into a winning strategy.

If you're the only one and no one else is working on it, you've got a problem, actually. You don't want to be the only one. You want to be in a competitive market.

There is no linear success. There's no up-and-to-the-right perfect chart where it's just one line. I don't care who you are. Apple doesn't have one. No one has one.
