Start focused and think big. Amazon started by selling books online and now it is an everything and everywhere store.

Customer trust is one of the main keys of long-term success. It starts with only one customer.

Experiment constantly. Some projects will certainly fail, like Amazon Fire Phone, but failures can enable future success, like Alexa.

Be patient. Amazon wasn’t profitable for years, but long-term vision paid off.

Starting a new business is an exciting journey, but it comes with a significant challenges.

Bezos famously called this his "Day 1" mindset, focusing on long-term growth and customer value over short-term profits.

Once the funding was secured, Amazon faced fierce competition, particularly from established giants like Barnes & Noble, which dominated the book market. Amazon revolutionized the online shopping experience with features like customer reviews, personalized recommendations, and the patented "1-Click" purchase button. This relentless focus on making the customer's life easier allowed Amazon to stand out and eventually dominate the market.

Finally, there’s the challenge of managing your time and energy. Jeff Bezos was willing to make big bets and wait a decade for them to pay off, a strategy that led to the creation of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and the Kindle. This perseverance and long-term vision transformed Amazon from an online bookstore into the global "everything store" it is today.

Picture this: you’re in a cramped garage, armed with nothing but an idea, no investors, no well-known brand, no sleek offices with glass walls. Just you, an internet connection, and a dream that feels far bigger than yourself.

That’s how Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, started.

It was 1994. TikTok didn’t exist, smartphones were unheard of, and most households didn’t even have Wi-Fi. But Bezos recognized something few others did: the transformative potential of the internet.

He quit his comfortable job on Wall Street, and from that garage in Seattle, he decided to build…

an online bookstore.

In 1995, he made his first sale. Just one customer. But that single click, that simple order, would end up changing everything.

It wasn’t glamorous. It wasn’t easy. But it was the first step.

What started with books could eventually grow into music, technology, clothing, services… and later, one of the biggest companies in the world.

Today Amazon doesn’t just sell products. It rents servers, produces movies, delivers food, develops artificial intelligence.
