More quotes by 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
You can work long, hard, or smart, but at Amazon.com you can’t choose two out of three.
Jeff Bezos
Cultures, for better or worse, are very stable.
Jeff Bezos
... if it's not your style to stretch and go the extra mile to make sure our customer experience is great, you're going to have an allergic reaction to this company. You probably won't stay. If you do try and stay, but can't adapt to the culture then it will reject you like a virus from a healthy immune system.
Jeff Bezos
Seek instant gratification - or the elusive promise of it - and chances are you'll find a crowd there ahead of you.
Jeff Bezos
Obsess about customers, not competitors.
Jeff Bezos
I definitely believe people should pay for copyrighted works. And the laws are sufficient: They already require you to pay for copyright work. There's no confusion. The problem is...it's a heck of a lot easier to steal MP3s than to buy them.
Jeff Bezos
When [competitors are] in the shower in the morning, they're thinking about how they're going to get ahead of one of their top competitors. Here in the shower, we're thinking about how we are going to invent something on behalf of a customer.
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
If you don't understand the details of your business you are going to fail.
Jeff Bezos
We are pioneers and the history of pioneers is not that good.
Jeff Bezos
I have a strongly held belief that one of the reasons that Amazon has been successful is because we do not obsess over competitors. Instead we obsess over customers.
Jeff Bezos
I love my life. I love being an inventor.
Jeff Bezos
The death knell for any enterprise is to glorify the past -- no matter how good it was.
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
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
Entrepreneurs must be willing to be misunderstood for long periods of time.
Jeff Bezos
If there’s one reason we have done better than of our peers in the Internet space over the last six years, it is because we have focused like a laser on customer experience.
Jeff Bezos
It's perfectly healthy-encouraged, even- to have an idea tomorrow that contradicted your idea today
Jeff Bezos
If you do build a great experience, customers tell each other about that. Word of mouth is very powerful.
Jeff Bezos
