Biz Stone, American entrepreneur, author, investor & co-founder of Twitter & Jelly — has built his career on platforms that empower people to share ideas, connect at scale & advance creativity through socially conscious business. For Stone, entrepreneurship isn’t about luck or timing alone; it’s about adopting a long-term mindset & the willpower to push forward even when progress feels invisible. What looks like overnight success is almost never that. Behind every “instant” breakthrough is an entrepreneur who logged countless hours of unseen work long before the world took notice.
This message is summarized by his quote, “Timing, perseverance, & ten years of trying will eventually make you look like an overnight success.”
