Bezos Principle and Proxies in Business and Life
Businesses and individuals often use proxies as indicators of success when aiming for a goal that is hard to measure directly. However, the danger lies in mistaking the proxy for the actual goal, leading to suboptimal outcomes. It is crucial to remember that proxies are only tools to measure progress towards a goal and not the goal itself. This principle can be applied in both business and personal life, where it's essential to focus on the actual objective rather than getting fixated on the proxy.

This concept underscores the importance of prioritizing the end goal, whether in business or personal life, to ensure genuine success and fulfillment.
