Today as part of Zappos and Amazon’s partnership, Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh posted a memo
that contained a video of Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos sharing what he’s learned as an entrepreneur.
He confesses that everything he knows is a very short list and so here they are:
- Obsess over customers. The reason Amazon exists today.
- Invent. Never accept either or thinking when there’s a problem, figure out a solution that gets both things.
- Think long term. Dangerous Beauty the movie Any company that want to obsess over customers, any company that wants to invent has to think long term.
- It’s always day 1.
There’s always more invention in the future.
Some great tips from an unconventional entrepreneur.
