Tips from Jeff Bezos for startups

Jeff Bezos has always treated his business giant Amazon as a startup. His famous mantra of “It remains Day 1” shows that he continually demonstrates that his company should always be treated like it’s just starting up. Amazon now has over 560,000 employees, and over 100 million members with Amazon Prime, and yet is still treated as a startup. Bezos started Amazon in a garage as a book selling platform, before turning it into a store to sell ‘everything’.

Amazon found success almost immediately, and has grown into a business giant making Bezos the richest man in the world.

These are some tips from Bezos for startups.

Set high standards

Bezos holds the belief that high standards must be taught and maintained in a startup. If a company will operate with low standards, new employees that come on board will operate at the same level of standards. Keep the standards high, and they will strive for that high standard in their work. It’s also important to identify employees weaknesses, and aim for them to improve these.
