Jeff Bezos once said:

"You can be grinding for 4 years with no results, and in the 5th year, become the biggest thing on the planet. The power of not giving up is real"

Here are 10 things I learned from him:

"If you double the number of experiments you do per year, you're going to double your inventiveness."

"Your brand is what other people say about you when you're not in the room."

- Jeff Bezos

5

"I knew that if I failed I wouldn’t regret that, but I knew the one thing I might regret is not trying."

- Jeff Bezos

"If you’re not stubborn, you’ll give up on experiments too soon. And if you’re not flexible, you’ll pound your head against the wall and you won’t see a different solution to a problem you’re trying to solve."

- Jeff Bezos

"The common question that gets asked in business is, 'why?' That's a good question, but an equally valid question is, 'why not?'"

- Jeff Bezos

"We see our customers as invited guests to a party, and we are the hosts. It’s our job every day to make every important aspect of the customer experience a little bit better."

- Jeff Bezos

"Invention is not disruptive. Only customer adoption is disruptive."

- Jeff Bezos

"We are stubborn on vision. We are flexible on details."

"If you're long-term oriented, customer interests and shareholder interests are aligned."
