SO READ THIS, BE ENCOURAGED, AND MOST OF ALL HAVE PATIENCE!!!!
Two decades before he became the richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos was just another employee on someone else's payroll. It was 1994, and Bezos was a senior vice president at D.E. Shaw & Co., a Wall Street-based investment banking firm. Eight years out of college, Bezos was 30 years old, and while his career in finance was lucrative, he was personally unfulfilled.
He soon found something that gave him a sense of urgency: a report forecasting rapid annual growth of the internet. "I came across the fact that Web usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles--was very exciting to me," Bezos revealed in a 2010 speech at Princeton, his alma mater.
But the report was only part of his motivation to start his own company. A fear of regret later in life is what pushed him over the edge. "I don't want to be 80 years old and in a quiet moment of reflection, thinking back over my life and cataloging a bunch of major regrets," he said in an interview last year with his brother Mark at the Summit LA conference.
So, Bezos quit his job, packed up, and drove cross country to Seattle where he and five (lucky) employees began developing an online bookstore. One year later, in July 1995, Bezos formally launched Amazon.com, and the rest is history.
HUMMMMM, one man, five employees, and a much needed product. Sounds to me like MK and SFOR are on to something!!!!
