The chief executive officer of Amazon.com doesnโt only have the power to inspire his employees, he has the power to inspire the whole world with his legacy.

So in order to inspire and wake up the entrepreneur in you, here are some quotes by Jeff Bezos that are gospel for entrepreneurs:
1. โIf you double the number of experiments you do per year youโre going to double your inventivenessโ
Always and I mean always aim to do greater than you did before. What Jeff says here makes a lot of sense when you think about it. The thing that builds your abilities as an inventer is experimenting. Keep finding new ways to make different things and keep experimenting with them. And if you make it a habit to experiment, you will notice your skills growing day by day. Just keep grinding till you reach the level when you will be able to consider yourself perfect.
2. โLifeโs too short to hang out with people who arenโt resourcefulโ
We meet a lot of people every day and make a lot of friends in our life, however, if you really need to be successful, you must learn how to separate your professional life from your personal life. Everyone has all kinds of friends, the ones who are resourceful and the ones who arenโt. Just be careful which ones you hang around when you work or which ones you actually make a part of your work. The resourceful ones will help you in growing more than youโve ever dreamed of and the non-resourceful ones will just keep you where you are and that can result in your growth becoming stagnant.
3. โA brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by trying to do hard things wellโ
Letโs be real, the most important thing for a person is his/her reputation. If your reputation is good, youโll be satisfied, however, if thereโs even a little black spot on it, itโll bother you until itโs cleared off. Jeff says that a brand for a company is the same thing as a reputation for a person. Now, to clear off a black spot on your reputation, youโll be willing to do anything and go to any heights. In a similar fashion, a company can only build its brand if the people in the company work hard enough for it. So, if you own a business, you must be willing to work hard enough to build a brand and a good reputation with it.
4. โOne of the only ways to get out of a tight box is to invent your way outโ
Everybody talks about thinking out of the box and creating something new and unique. What we donโt realize is that nobody will help us in doing that. The only way to think out of the box or in Bezosโs words, getting out of a tight box is to help yourself. You need to create a way for yourself to think out of the box in order to broaden your way of thinking and increase your knowledge. So, believe in yourself and donโt depend on anyone or expect anyone else to help you in achieving your dreams. Sure, people can set you on a path but itโs you who should work on his/her skills and talent.

5. โMy view is thereโs no bad time to innovateโ
Iโve heard many people say that theyโll do things at the right time. What they donโt understand is, this is the right time. If you want to do something and have an idea, do it. Do not wait for anyone or anything. As soon as you think you have a good idea, just start working on it quickly because thereโs a high possibility that someone else will get the same idea and he might start living the dream you want to live. Believe me, that will hurt more than working hard. So, just start innovating because this is the right time to do it.
These are some of the Jeff Bezos quotes that would help you become a successful entrepreneur.
