Amazon "60 Minutes"

Amazon Has Big Plans For The Future

This clip from “60 Minutes” shows how CEO Jeff Bezos has big plans for Amazon in the future. Not many know exactly what Amazon does behind Amazon.com. I’m pretty sure that many of you out there thought Amazon only did online shopping. Not only do they do shopping but they create mobile devices, built one of the largest data servers in the world, have started a Amazon clothing line, filmed their own sitcoms, and are even creating “octocopter” drones that will someday be delivering products to your door steps within a day.

Bezos is making sure his company stays fresh in this chaotic online market. Being the the leading company in your industry is always up for grabs. What makes you better then your competitor? Always be on top of the game. Letting your company be stagnate will allow for the next business owner to take your place and possibly have you go out of business.

Check out this small clip from “60 Minutes,” featuring Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos. Pretty inspirational.
