The Importance of Long-Term Thinking

Long-term thinking is crucial for success in business. While many business owners and entrepreneurs focus on short-term gains and quick advantages, the most successful individuals, like Jeff Bezos, prioritize long-term thinking. Easy and cheap advantages quickly lose their value as others catch up. To achieve lasting success, it is necessary to think about how to gain a competitive advantage that others cannot easily replicate in terms of complexity, time, or cost. For example, Amazon's competitive advantage lies in its extensive fulfillment network, which is difficult and expensive to replicate.
