Google

One major concept I learned about Google was the mindset and culture of the company that seems to have led them to all of their success. Google is very focused on forward thinking and looking for new ways to do things better. Yahoo and Excite basically came up with a platform and then looked to make money, without continuing to grow the product. They stopped the innovation process. That instantly let Google catch-up with them and pass them by. It was definitely a concept that you can take to heart. Keep pushing forward, because someone is working just as hard or harder than you to succeed.
