Your brand is what people say about you when you're not in the room
Jeff Bezos
The thing that motivates me is a very common form of motivation. And that is, with other folks counting on me, it's so easy to be motivated.
Jeff Bezos
We innovate by starting with the customer and working backwards. That becomes the touchstone for how we invent.
Jeff Bezos
I’m a big fan of all-you-can-eat plans, because they’re simpler for customers.
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
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
Percentage margins are not one of the things we are seeking to optimize. It’s the absolute dollar free cash flow per share that you want to maximize, and if you can do that by lowering margins, we would do that. So if you could take the free cash flow, that’s something that investors can spend. Investors can’t spend percentage margins.
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
We like to pioneer, we like to explore, we like to go down dark alleys and see what's on the other side.
Jeff Bezos
Everything you are comes from your choices.
Jeff Bezos
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.
Jeff Bezos
If you do build a great experience, customers tell each other about that. Word of mouth is very powerful.
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
Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy-they're given after all. Choices can be hard.
Jeff Bezos
Our vision is every book ever printed in any language [fetched and viewable on our eBook Kindle device] in under 60 seconds.
Jeff Bezos
If you are going to do large-scale invention, you have to be willing to do three things: You must be willing to fail you have to be willing to think long term and you have to be willing to be misunderstood for long periods of time.
Jeff Bezos
Ebooks had to happen.
Jeff Bezos
I think that, ah, I'm a very goofy sort of person in many ways.
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
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
