The Bezos Letters

14 Principles to Grow Your Business like Amazon

De: Steve Anderson, Karen Anderson

Narrado por: Steve Anderson

Amazon is the fastest company ever to reach $100 billion in sales, and they didn’t reach that landmark by staying in their comfort zone. Risk-taking is the key that unlocked the door to growth at Amazon, but those risks were (and are) intentional, calculated, and strategic.

Thomas Edison believed: “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” Like Edison, Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos has also linked experimentation and failure with growth and success.

But “risk-taking” can be costly (even disastrous) if you don’t know how to use it to your advantage. Fortunately, Bezos has provided every business owner a hidden-in-plain-sight road map for how he grew Amazon through his letters to shareholders (or as he named them, "shareowners") that he has written annually for the past 20 years.

For the first time, technology and risk expert Steve Anderson has analyzed and distilled these letters to reveal the key 14 growth principles that unlock the lessons, mind-set, and steps Bezos has used to make Amazon the massive success it is today.

Now, business owners, leaders, CEOs, employees, and managers can apply these same principles to grow their business to be more efficient, productive, and successful...fast!

risk = growth

it gives permission to experiment and take risks in life and business. if Jeff Bezos needed to tell that message so many times it is definitely worth hearing over the course of a book. i will relisten to this book.

Incredible how the letters are broken down into action points for my own business. This is world-class insight. Truly expert level. Thank you! Very pleasant voice, the narrator sounds a bit like Jeff Bezos. Thank you for this book!

Amazing

Flows well, great to listen too with wonderful content. Highly recommended for those that want to understand the path of growth of Jeff Bezos, his principles and bow he applys them to Amazon.

nothing new, but nice to have anyway.

if you've followed amazon, read the shareholder letters, etc. nothing in this book will surprise you. still it is nice to have it organized in a comprehensive way and the book doesn't overstay its welcome.

More than you can imagine

This book was a phenomenal journey into Amazon’s creation and the vision that catapulted the company to extraordinary heights. What I enjoyed most about this book was Steve’s breakdown of each principle and the direct connection to the philosophy and action incorporated by Amazon. This was a fantastic read!!!
