How to Grow Your Business Like Amazon
Why, when, and how Jeff Bezos takes risks and how that made Amazon successful
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.” and Amazon’s founder, Jeff Bezos, has always linked experimentation and failure with growth and success.

Join Steve Anderson, author of "The Bezos Letters: 14 Principles to Grow Your Business Like Amazon," as he shares insights into the mind of one of the most successful CEOs to date.
