Jeff Bezos started Amazon in his home roughly fifteen years ago. This successful CEO presents the three things he knows about building a successful business at http://is.gd/2yoeA

1) Obsess over customers.  When given the choice between obsessing over competitors or customers, always obsess over customers. Start with customers and work backward.  Since Solve360’s raison d’être is to dramatically improve your team’s efficiency and day-today interactions with clients we’re obviously pretty found of this first point.

2) Invent.  You can invent your way out of any box if you believe you can. Invent on behalf of your customers - it’s not a customer’s job to invent on to themselves.  Listen to customers but know they can’t tell you everything.

3) Think long term.  Any company that wants to focus on customers has to be willing to think long term.  Many initiatives may take 5-7 years to pan out for a company.  Thinking long term allows you to be misunderstood.  Most inventions take a while to be appreciated.

Bonus) It’s Always Day One. There are always new ways to obsess over customers.  There are always new things to invent.
