Success -Distinguished American entrepreneur Jeff Bezos has lessons he keeps sharing with the world on how he made it to the top of the richest men on earth.
Currently worth about $ 205 according to Forbes Magazine, Bezos is the founder and CEO at Amazon.
So what are the four secretes Bezos relied on to become who is is today? We list four main ones and which he has reportedly pronounced himself.
Be Curious: As a young boy, Bezos had experimented with so many things. For instance, he imagined changing a home garage into a laboratory and often displayed technological proficiency. Curiosity is one of the major attributes that makes people succeed. You must search, look and research.
Start Working As Early As Possible: While Bezos was in high school, he started working at McDonald as a cook and earned 2.6 dollars per hour. Working early in life does not only give you cash but it also teaches you how to handle money. If you are a young person, stop seeing work as a punishment, rather see it as an opportunity to learn about money and life.
See The Invisible: Bezos resigned from his well-paying job in 1993 and started an online bookshop in a home garage which later transitioned into the Amazon we know today, the world’s biggest e-commerce company. At the time he started his online company in 1994, only 12 million people in the world were accessing the internet. But as of now, over 3 billion persons cannot live without internet.
Prepare For The Public Attacks: In 2015, the New York Times newspaper described Bezos as a brilliant but mysterious corporate titan. In 2018, Donald Trump accused Amazon and Bezos in particular of tax avoidance and anti-competitive business practices. Due to these negative comments by the then U.S president, Amazon’s sales fell by 9%. Each time the American entrepreneur has been attacked publicly, he has figured out how to recover from it. The more successful you become, the more criticism you will receive from the public. To be hugely successful, learn how to manage criticism.
Picking from this list, it is easier to build your brand and become another big thing the world could celebrate forever.
