14 growth principles on, you know, how Bezos grew Amazon to what it is today.
And I think, again, I always try and emphasize that.
Regardless of where you are in business, these are principles that are principles, which means they're long-term.
They're not kind of flash-in-the-pan marketing hacks and things like that, but they are principles.
And the more I talk to business owners of all sizes –
It resonates with people.

in order to invent on behalf of the customer.
And those words, experimentation and invention, and on behalf of the customer are really kind of key ideas.
What he said was, is that if you're going to experiment, you're gonna fail, right?
