Serena Williams’ husband and the Reddit co-founder is undoubtedly aware of the incumbent and the upcoming competition in the market; technology has further contributed to it. But it has also led to the emergence of new market leaders, such as Jeff Bezos. However, to be at the top of the World, Jeff Bezos, the founder of the e-commerce site Amazon, once had to face the heat of the market leaders to ensure the existence of Amazon.

Even though those days are behind Amazon, the founder gave a glimpse of the trying times in an interview recently shared on Twitter. And the Angel City FC owner was quick to respond to the inspirational words.

With parents worried about the employment of their kin, at Amazon, Bezos advised his 125 employees, with all hands met; to not be afraid of their competitors, as they were never going to send any monetary benefits to Amazon, but customers would do. So he cautioned the employees to be afraid of the customers. And Ohanian, in response, recapitulated the same lesson in his Tweet. He said, “Make something your customers love. If you can do this, your competition doesn’t matter.”

Well, one could say that the Amazon boss’ mantra did work. Currently, Amazon is operating in 13 countries.
