Delivering Happiness A Path to Profits, Passion and Purpose: A Book Tales Presentation

Amazon purchased Zappos in 2009 for over one billion dollars. It was the second time in his life that Tony Hsieh, CEO, had sold his company for a grand amount. His earlier company, LinkExchange had been sold for $265 million when he was in his early twenties. It had taken him just over 2 years. It had taken 10 years to value Zappos at 1 billions. This equated to about $100 million per year. To many outsiders these two successes seemed like the inevitable outcome of a great business creator. But, their paths could not have been different. LinkExchange was created as a way to create profits for him and his co-founders. Zappos, with the mission to “Deliver Happiness,” was designed to create profits, passion and purpose. To achieve this required a lifetime of failure and setbacks, close calls and, most importantly, lessons. In Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose Tony Hsieh shows his path, so that we may find ours.
