Short list of lessons from Jeff Bezos

Short list of 3 items (full video here):

  • Obsess over customers - Pay attention to competition but remember customers first.
  • Invent - Listen to customer, invent for them, innovation is panacea.
  • Think long term - Critical. 5-7 years time frame perspective. Be willing to be misunderstood. Be willing to change on feedback.
Bonus item:
  • It is always day 1. Always, opportunity exists to innovate/obsess over customers.
