More than 40 investors refused to invest in Amazon.com, 24 years later, Jeff is the richest man in the world.
He started humbly from an idea, was successful, and always improved the service and products he offered to the public.
The parents, when Jeff was a child, immediately noticed his talent for mechanics, as he found a way to disassemble his cradle.
As a teenager he independently created an alarm not to let his brothers enter the room.
Still at school, he started his first business, "The Dream Institute", a summer course for boys, and had the first 10 clients who paid $ 600 each to learn.
He became a model student and in college he chose computer science to learn even more about using computers, which he loved.
At that time, internet was exploding in popularity, and this allowed him to work on Wall Street for several companies, also becoming vice president of the "Bankers Trust". But he noticed a fact:
The internet was growing by 2300% every year.
It was 1994 and Bezos dropped everything to follow his dream: open an online store, which he called Amazon.com.
He decided that the first products would be books, and for weeks he looked for investors to give him $ 1 million for the project.
Over 40 people refused, but Jeff did not give up and found his investors (about 20 people who gave him about $ 50,000 each). Thanks to the excellent service and their marketing, in just 5 years amazon made him a multimillionaire.
Now the platform is used by anyone to buy anything online, and we all trust this online giant.
This is because for the past 24 years the service they offer is incredible, the orders arrive on time and the prices are very competitive.
Today, Bezos is the richest man in the world, and the challenges he is now going through will probably be able to lead man to explore the space.
What do you think of his story?
