Do You Enjoy the Journey or the Destination of being an entrepreneur?

I hate Amazon, she said.

It was a strong word and I didn’t ask why.

Not that I didn’t care. She was asking how she could get copies of my books without going through the Zon.

I have read a litany of reasons people hate the largest online bookstore in the world.

Part of it was the impact it had on smaller bookstores.

Maybe they had the same hate for Barnes and Noble when they opened up a big box retail bookstore in their town.

Or Books-A-Million, which has now changed it’s name to BAM and sells more game and toys than books.

Or the now gone Borders.

Maybe she hated the Zon because it’s changing the way people do business.

Or maybe because the business decisions from Bezos down seem arbitrary to people who use it as a sales space.

I didn’t ask.

I cared though.

I’ve been impressed with Amazon since way back when. It was an online bookstore run by a guy in his garage.

I signed on and have used it for years to get books delivered straight to me.
