Beloved companies begin with a notion, an idea fueled by passion about their greater purpose for improving customers\u2019 lives.\u00a0It doesn\u2019t matter if they are selling electronics or food, or saving lives; conviction helps them stay the course. Even in the face of sacrifice and (yes, sometimes) pain, beloved companies press on for customers. They persevere until they get it right.<\/p>\n
