Jeff Bezos, the founder and CEO of Amazon, is known for his determination and vision. In an interview with Business Insider, Bezos said, "The most important thing is to be stubborn on your vision but flexible on details." This philosophy has guided Amazon from its early days as an online bookstore to its current status as a global e-commerce powerhouse. While Bezos has always been clear about his long-term goals for Amazon, he has also been willing to experiment and take risks in order to achieve them. For example, Amazon was one of the first companies to embrace cloud computing, and it is now a leader in the field.
What does stubborn on vision and flexible on details mean?
You've got to be stubborn on this vision (getting to the top) and flexible on the details (which path gets you to the peak). The vision won't change, but the details might. Before Amazon started their third-party seller business, they went through a handful of failed iterations.
Do you have a clear vision for your product? If not, you need to develop one. A vision is key to product development – it gives you a roadmap and helps you stay focused on what's important.
However, it's also important to be flexible when it comes to details – you can't let yourself get bogged down in the minutia of product development.
By remaining stubborn on vision while being flexible on details, you'll be able to create an innovative product that meets the needs of your customers.
Product development can be a long and arduous process, full of frustrating setbacks and countless hours of work. However, the end result is always worth it, and the journey can be made easier by having a clear vision and staying focused on the details.
The first type of stubbornness is vision. This is when you have a clear idea of what you want to achieve, and you're unwilling to compromise on any aspect of it. You know exactly what your product should look like, how it should work, and what it should be able to do.
The second type of stubbornness is detail. This is when you're focused on making sure that every aspect of your product is perfect. You're constantly tinkering with the design, tweaking the functionality, and making sure that everything is just right.
The key to product development is to find a balance between these two types of stubbornness. You need to have a clear vision for your product, but you also need to be flexible when it comes to details.
If you're too rigid in your thinking, you'll never be able to make progress. But if you're too flexible, you'll never be able to achieve your vision. The key is to find a balance between the two – to be stubborn on vision while being flexible on details.
This balance will help you stay motivated and make progress toward your goals. It's what will help you turn your product from an idea into a reality.
So, if you're feeling stuck in your product development journey, remember to stay focused on your vision and be flexible on the details. It's the key to making progress and achieving success.
