Jeff Bezos is rich, wild, free and bald. When he drops his pearls of wisdom, we collect and store them like they are diamonds, right? The CEO of Amazon always has something unique to offer, with a touch of insanity to his brilliance. here is taking a look at some major takeaways from the amazingly successful life of this great man!
1. Try, but you just cannot get taller
“If you take me on your basketball team, you can teach me many things, but you cannot teach me to be taller.” Why? Because you can learn new things but never change who you are meant to be!
2. Always have people around who can help you grow
“Life is too short to hang out with people who are not resourceful.” This line made an impact on me for reasons unknown. If you do not spend time with people who are not resourceful, by the end of the day you will find yourself filled with optimism and plenty of ideas for your own betterment.
3. Work through the regret
Bezos works with a simple formula. He always thinks of himself at the age of 80 and wonders about what he could have done differently. The lesson here is to think of how the choices you make in life affect the rest of your future and what you can do to map your life the way you want. Pick a number, think backwards and make sure you have your goals set!
4. Earn your reputation by doing the tough things well
A brand earns its reputation by doing even the hardest things well. Amazon lived by this policy from the very beginning and as a result, has become one of the most valued e commerce platfroms to date all over the world. Earn your reputation by trying to do hard things well and more often than not, you create a niche for yourself!
5. The customer is always the king
You know when they say the customer is always the king, it is a true statement. One of the major reasons Amazon is such a success today is that Bezos realised this fact early on. He built the entire platform to suit his customers and look at where he stands today! Quite an achievement, right?
Nothing in life is easy and nothing in life comes without its fair share of risks. Work toward them and make every moment count! Just like Jeff Bezos. If you think we missed out on any lessons from this great man, comment and let us know!
