Jeff Bezos Leaves Wall Street to Found Amazon, Advocates Risk-Taking for GrowthPreviousNext

Jeff Bezos left a high-paying Wall Street job in 1994 to pursue an internet commerce idea, writing Amazon's initial business plan during a five-day road trip in a borrowed car with support from his then-wife MacKenzie Scott. His early vision led to Amazon's growth into a trillion-dollar company, surpassing initial sales predictions. Bezos emphasizes embracing uncertainty and taking risks, noting that avoiding only guaranteed successes can cause missed opportunities, a philosophy that guided Amazon's innovative approach.
