If you do build a great experience, customers tell each other about that. Word of mouth is very powerful.
Jeff Bezos
Image
Not the outcome any of us wanted.
Jeff Bezos
Image
It is very difficult to get people to focus on the most important things when you're in boom times.
Jeff Bezos
Image
My own view is that every company requires a long-term view.
Jeff Bezos
Image
We were hoping to build a small profitable company and of course, what we've done is build a large, unprofitable company.

Image
Millions of people were inspired by the Apollo Program. I was five years old when I watched Apollo 11 unfold on television, and without any doubt it was a big contributor to my passions for science, engineering, and exploration.

Focusing on the customer makes a company more resilient.
Jeff Bezos

Because, you know, resilience - if you think of it in terms of the Gold Rush, then you'd be pretty depressed right now because the last nugget of gold would be gone. But the good thing is, with innovation, there isn't a last nugget. Every new thing creates two new questions and two new opportunities.

The smartest people are constantly revising their understanding, reconsidering a problem they thought they’d already solved. They’re open to new points of view, new information, new ideas, contradictions, and challenges to their own way of thinking.

Go to bed early and wake up early. The morning hours are good.
Jeff Bezos
Image
I've not seen an effective manager or leader who can't spend some fraction of time down in the trenches... If they don't do that they get out of touch with reality, and their whole thought and management process becomes abstract and disconnected.
Jeff Bezos
Image
I'm not saying that advertising is going away. But the balance is shifting. If today the successful recipe is to put 70 percent of your energy into shouting about your service and 30 percent into making it great, over the next 20 years I think that's going to invert.
Jeff Bezos

The book is not really the container for the book. The book itself is the narrative. It's the thing that people create.
Jeff Bezos
Image
I love my life. I love being an inventor.
Jeff Bezos
Image
We've done price elasticity studies, and the answer is always that we should raise prices. We don't do that, because we believe -- and we have to take this as an article of faith -- that by keeping our prices very, very low, we earn trust with customers over time, and that that actually does maximize free cash flow over the long term.

If you want to be inventive, you have to be willing to fail.
