More quotes by Jeff Bezos
Word of mouth is very powerful.
Jeff Bezos
When you are eighty years old, and in a quiet moment of reflection narrating for only yourself the most personal version of your life story, the telling that will be most compact and meaningful will be the series of choices you have made. In the end, we are our choices.
Jeff Bezos
To get something new done you have to be stubborn and focused, to the point that others might find unreasonable.
Jeff Bezos

For people who are readers, reading is important to them.
Jeff Bezos
It’s very important for entrepreneurs to be realistic. So if you believe on that first day while you’re writing the business plan that there’s a 70 percent chance that the whole thing will fail, then that kind of relieves the pressure of self-doubt.
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
The most important single thing is to focus obsessively on the customer. Our goal is to be earth's most customer-centric company.
Jeff Bezos
It's perfectly healthy-encouraged, even- to have an idea tomorrow that contradicted your idea today
Jeff Bezos
My own view is that every company requires a long-term view.
Jeff Bezos
I don't think that you can invent on behalf of customers unless you're willing to think long-term, because a lot of invention doesn't work. If you're going to invent, it means you're going to experiment, and if you're going to experiment, you're going to fail, and if you're going to fail, you have to think long term.
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
Good ideas will always get funded, so that's not going to be a problem. But you will see that it will be harder and harder for bad ideas to get funded.
Jeff Bezos
Focusing on the customer makes a company more resilient.
Jeff Bezos
If you build a great product or service, people will talk about it. But it starts with having something that's worth talking about.
Jeff Bezos
If you never want to be criticized, for goodness sake don't do anything new.
Jeff Bezos
