What Jeff Bezos taught me
Jeff Bezos says at Amazon it is always Day 1. An employee asked him, What does Day 2 look like? After a pause, Jeff responded: Day 2 is stasis followed by irrelevance. Followed by decline. Followed by death. And that is why it is always Day 1.
Jeff’s shareholder letters outline his approach and are based on four growth cycles: Test, Build, Accelerate and Scale.
My key takeaways are:
-
Think big. I plan to revolutionise the effectiveness of meetings through the use of AI.
-
Take a long term view. I started the weekly A Bit Gamey blog in September 2021 and have over 500 readers.
-
Experiment and learn. I’m developing my writing, business and app design skills, based on my belief that the Best Skill Stacker Wins.
-
Accept that things will always change and embrace the opportunities. I plan to write a book this year.
Are there ideas you can benefit from Jeff’s approach? Please share.
