More quotes by Jeff Bezos
If we think long term, we can accomplish things that we couldn't otherwise accomplish.
Jeff Bezos
On the Internet, companies are scale businesses, characterized by high fixed costs and relatively low variable costs. You can be two sizes: You can be big, or you can be small. It's very hard to be medium. A lot of medium-sized companies had the financing rug pulled out from under them before they could get big.
Jeff Bezos
I'm skeptical of any mission that has advertisers at its centerpiece.
Jeff Bezos
You want to look at what other companies are doing. It's very important not to be hermetically sealed. But you don't want to look at it as if, 'OK, we're going to copy that.' You want to look at it and say, 'That's very interesting. What can we be inspired to do as a result of that?' And then put your own unique twist on it.
Jeff Bezos
I wouldn't be surprised if history records Tim Berners-Lee as the second Gutenberg.
Jeff Bezos
Do something you're very passionate about, and don't try to chase what is kind of the hot passion of the day.
Jeff Bezos
Your brand is what people say about you when you're not in the room
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.
Jeff Bezos
You know, if you make a customer unhappy they won't tell five friends, they'll tell 5,000 friends. So, we are at a point now where we have all of the things we need to build an important and lasting company, and if we don't, it will be shame on us.
Jeff Bezos
When you receive criticism from well-meaning people, it pays to ask, ‘Are they right?’ And if they are, you need to adapt what they’re doing. If they’re not right, if you really have conviction that they’re not right, you need to have that long-term willingness to be misunderstood. It’s a key part of invention.
Jeff Bezos
Word of mouth is very powerful.
Jeff Bezos
There are a whole bunch of people who don't like to shop. But there are also people, maybe, who even do like to shop but are very time pressured. And so shopping online can save people time.
Jeff Bezos
For people who are readers, reading is important to them.
Jeff Bezos
In Seattle you haven't had enough coffee until you can thread a sewing machine while it's running.
Jeff Bezos
We're building a unique global platform...In the last 18 months we found that sellers and partners are interested in complementing their online and offline businesses with Amazon's platform
Jeff Bezos
One of the things that gets me up in the morning is knowing that customer expectations are always rising, and I find that very exciting.
Jeff Bezos
Many of the traits that make Amazon unusual are now deeply ingrained in the culture. In fact, if I wanted to change them, I couldn't. The cultures are self-reinforcing, and that's a good thing.
Jeff Bezos
You can work long, hard, or smart, but at Amazon.com you can’t choose two out of three.
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
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
