English term or phrase: We know what we want to be and therefore are here to stay.
Also this one: A "high flying" dot.com we will not be!

Context: Business philosophy

Thanks to everybody.

German translation:Wir wissen was wir sein wollen, und deswegen bleiben wir da!
Explanation:
"Wir werden keine 'heiße dot.com' sein!"

There are other ways to say, " we are here to stay", like "wir sind da für die Dauer".(we are here for the long-term). But the first suggestion is shorter and has some extra play on words. "da" = here, there, at this place, on the spot. The literal translation would be ".. wir sind da um zu bleiben".
