I just interviewed the man who invented Amazon Prime.
He started a business worth $40 billion today and served on Amazon's board for 15 yrs.
Here are lessons from Bing Gordon that'll save you years of mistakes:
When you have a business idea, take action now before it dies.
• Write 1 paragraph about the idea
• Write a 4 slide business plan
• Write your 1st line of code
When you start a job, ask your boss 2 questions:
1) Who is the best boss you've ever had and what does that mean for me?
2) What does top 10% performance look like?
Hold yourself accountable for high achievement.
If you're a cab driver, drive the most miles
if you're a fisherman, get on the best boat.
