One of my mentors early on was Eli Harari, the founder of SanDisk, who happened to be a friend of my dad's.
Quote by -Nick Woodman
My twenties were my practice. My thirties were when I really hit my stride with GoPro and did all the heavy lifting to build the business.
Quote by -Nick Woodman
I got an email from the Crown Prince of Norway asking me to talk at a summit for young Norwegian entrepreneurs. I ran to my wife and was like, 'Hey! I got an email from the Prince of Norway!'
Quote by -Nick Woodman
You have to ask yourself: how much does any one person or one family need? And when you start thinking about the universe as an organism, it's important that we, as components of that organism, take care of each other and ourselves.
Quote by -Nick Woodman
I learned that most people buy based on emotion, not on a rational breakdown of the product or service.

Quote by -Nick Woodman
The worst way to fire somebody is to let it drag out. It's not good for that person because they're not succeeding in their role. And it's not good for the organization because it's just not working.
Quote by -Nick Woodman
I feel like I've done a pretty good job of scaling because I got some great mentors along the way that helped me realize I just have to build a phenomenal team around me that makes my job a lot easier.

As long as we continue to execute, everything will work out for everybody at GoPro.

Disney produces fabulous movies around certain characters, and then they commercialize that engagement through toys, books, cruises.
Quote by -Nick Woodman
GoPro is ideal for pro-active capture, meaning, 'Hey, we're going to do something fun, and we're going to capture a video of it.'
Quote by -Nick Woodman
I can sell anything that I totally believe in, but I'm a horrible salesman of something I don't believe in.
Quote by -Nick Woodman
Before GoPro, if you wanted to have any footage of yourself doing anything, whether it's video or photo, you not only needed a camera, you needed another human being. And if you wanted the footage to be good, you needed that other human being to have skill with the camera.
Quote by -Nick Woodman
I didn't want to take anybody else's money. I wanted to do something small that could be profitable from the beginning, and grow that way - and never need someone to write me a check to keep the business going.
Quote by -Nick Woodman
I get pretty focused when I start working on something. And I drink a lot of water, way more than most people.
Quote by -Nick Woodman
When I have a difficult decision to make, I imagine myself as a 90-year-old guy looking back on his life. I imagine what I'll think about myself at that point in time, and it always makes it really easy to go for it. You're only going to regret that you wimped out.
Quote by -Nick Woodman

A smartphone is great for when one person is documenting another thing or another person doing something.

Quote by -Nick Woodman
I think our slow, humble beginnings in surf shops, ski shops, bike shops, and motorcycle shops have been extremely important for our success. GoPro is all about celebrating an active lifestyle and sharing that with other people. It's authentic. It's not a brand that we went out and bought a bunch of ads for to create.
Quote by -Nick Woodman
I come from surfing, and surfing is the worst cool-guy industry of all. I decided long ago to try and kill the cool guy.
Quote by -Nick Woodman
You don't have to raise millions of dollars to be successful, you just have to work on something you are passionate about.
