"Stay focused. Every new public corporation's leadership should feel great pressure to live up to everyone's expectations. Be careful about what you share with your vision – don't over-share your vision too early because investors will forget Everything you say and they want you to realize the vision tomorrow, "said Woodman Yahoo Finance On the Move. [19659003] "Stay measured and hold the same approach that made it possible for you to succeed in taking your business publicly," added Woodman. "That execution, that notion is what got you there, and what helps you succeed in the future, but doesn't take too much, too fast."

Some investors looked at GoPro as the second time in Disney (DIS) (media game), mixed with some Apple (AAPL) (hardware play). The GoPro share rose 30% on its first trading day and ended at $ 31.33. Stocks affected a full-time high of around $ 98 in October 2014.
But the GoPro share, currently trading at $ 6 per share, has beaten as investors provided GoPro's prospects on venturing into new product categories. Furthermore, the competition in the shopping camera industry and GoPro has its own mistakes (too many employees, a missed rejection of drones) weighed on the stock.
To Woodman's credit, he and his management have continued to fight. And finally, the company again shows a promise as it has reduced its focus on performing on high quality shopping cameras. The company's workforce is slimmer and its brand burns across YouTube and all of the social media platforms.
GoPro's sales ate 20% compared to the first quarter last year. Woodman said GoPro is on its way to profitability this year.
"The turnaround was last year," said Woodman, adding that the company has delivered five straight quarters to meet or beat expectations. And GoPro is now investigating new product categories.
