In case you were not listening, yesterday, July 27, 2017, Jeff Bezos was for a few hours the richest man in the world.
That’s right; he toppled Bill Gates.
Shares of Amazon.com, a company Bezos started in 1994 to sell books online traded for as high as $1, 083 per share! Whoopy!!
I have always respected Amazon’s drive and direction, they are certainly one of the most innovative companies around today.
The difference between Entrepreneurs and Innovators for me has always been the fact that while most inventors are focused on just churning out something new – Entrepreneurs focus on how they can quickly take a solution to the market.
Amazon does not just innovate, they are entrepreneurial minded.
Their products make more economic impact than most of the other big names in tech.
We must not just be innovating fellas, we must also ensure we put on our entrepreneurship caps and innovate to fill a pain point.
