"I'm a believer in an approach that one of my professors used to call "Stars & Stepping Stones". Great companies develop a long-term vision that is radically impactful and seemingly out of reach (the "star"), yet they work towards that goal with a series of incremental projects (the "stepping stones"). The problem I have with a lot of startups these days, and the issue that I imagine Jeff, O'Reilly, Umair, and others are discussing, is that in most cases, the vision is an incremental one from the get go. The best companies think big strategically, and think small operationally." - Joe Lazarus
