Part 2: My Second Big Bold Bet<\/strong><\/h2>Part 1<\/a><\/span><\/h4>I figured out early in my career that the trick to accomplishing big bold bets was never allowing your mind to entertain the thought of failure. I\u2019ve watched numerous people over the years blow rare career changing opportunities because they lacked courage in themselves, or mustered the courage but entertained failure as an option. I always<\/em> picture myself crossing the finish line, striving to exceed the current bar. While some might call this blind ambition, this gift enabled me to accomplish amazing achievements throughout my career. My odds for success were always higher, because I aligned my opportunities with my passion (2 of 2): technology.<\/p>In the summer of 1985, after completing an internship with Price Waterhouse, I made my first Big Bold Bet: turning down their job offer because I realized during that internship that accounting was not one of my core passions. I told them I was changing my major to business computing (in my junior year) and helped them see the PC tsunami hitting their beach. My Dad\u2019s gift ( see Part 1<\/a>\u00a0) had given me the confidence and competence to mentor the entire office on their new PCs that summer. Their brand new consulting division hired me on the spot.<\/p>It\u2019s now late summer 1996 and I\u2019m faced with my 2nd Big Bold Bet: I\u2019m on a mission to build one of retails first revenue producing websites, in stealth mode, with no clue how to proceed. But my vision was clear: Ecommerce would not only become a new shopping channel for retailers, it would revolutionize the entire industry in ways I couldn\u2019t yet comprehend but knew were inevitable. I\u2019d presented my case to our board of directors and been shot down \u2013 but that wasn\u2019t going to stop me. I\u2019d accurately predicted the wave of personal computing and bet my degree and career on it. And this vision was just as strong, stronger in fact. I had to prove I was right and the opportunity was staring me in the face. I could taste the finish line\u2026.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t![\"\"](\"https:\/\/davidgruehn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bombay-HQ.jpg\")

The concept, however, of pushing a button and having that code immediately accessible to the entire world was exhilarating. It fueled my passion to a level I\u2019d not yet experienced before.

But fear is a powerful motivator if you don\u2019t allow it to consume you. Somewhere along the line I\u2019d learned to harness fear and convert it into motivational energy, perhaps on stage as a young drummer. Then I remembered a trick I\u2019d learned as a programmer in college during a semester I was learning the programming language Pascal. I\u2019d hit a similar wall during an assignment, and after beating my brains out trying to solve a problem, I headed over to the computer lab to seek help. I ran into a guy that suggested I post the problem in a Pascal \u201cforum\u201d on Compuserve. I was vaguely familiar with forums, which are essentially chat rooms focused on a specific topic. I gave it a try and to my amazement received a brilliant solution the next day from some geek that apparently had nothing better to do.

So using this cool new thing called a search engine (there were several out by 1996 including infoseek, Yahoo, eXcite, and altavista \u2013 Google didn\u2019t launch until 1998) I started scouring the web for a decent website foundation I could \u201cborrow\u201d. I was stunned by what I found, discovering that the web was an endless reservoir of unlimited information and access to a network of people who seemed to know everything or someone who did \u2013 all for free in real-time. Within days I abandoned the books and stole the base structure for the site from a variety of sources. From that point it was a matter of branding the site and loading the relevant company and product information. By Sunday night of the following week, I\u2019d not only built my first website, I\u2019d built one of the first retail websites on the internet.<\/em><\/p>Just Sitting In Cyberspace<\/h4>
While basic and not flashy by today\u2019s standards, the Bombay Company website was live, and I had no idea what to expect. It just existed in cyberspace \u2013 no launch, no fanfare, no marketing.\u00a0 The statistics at the time suggested that most people \u201csurfing the web\u201d didn\u2019t fit our customer demographic, which were women in their 30\u2019s to 50\u2019s. In 1996 there were approximately 100,000 websites on the internet, accessible via dial-up modems ranging in speed from 28.8Kbps to 33.6Kbps \u2013 my current speed is 2GB!! The biggest internet service provider was AOL with five million subscribers who mostly viewed this new medium as an electronic newspaper with chat rooms.\u00a0 Most people never ventured outside their ISP\u2019s website as there wasn\u2019t much of interest beyond their gated walls.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t really care as I considered myself in learning mode.\u00a0\u00a0I started off small to test the water and get a feel for this new digital playground. I had a home page with some basics like our store locations, a small segment of our latest catalog (without the option to buy), investor relations, general company info, and two forms for user submission. One allowed people to inquire about working for the company, and the other was a simple form open to any inquiry or feedback.

Most loved the fact that I liked pushing the envelope with new technologies. Weekly during status meetings we\u2019d review our website host provider\u2019s statistics which included the number of hits and their IP addresses which gave us a general idea of where these people were geographically located. For three weeks we got nothing which didn\u2019t really surprise us. We started\u00a0exploring strategies for how we could expose the site to our customers without raising too much internal attention.<\/p>
And then we got the week four report.<\/em><\/p>Astonishingly,\u00a0\u00a0not only had we started getting hits, but they were coming in from all over the world<\/em>.\u00a0 I\u2019d figured that we\u2019d get hits from the forty states in which we had stores, but never dreamed we\u2019d get hits internationally. We\u2019d been \u201cpinged\u201d from Italy, France, Germany and England \u2013 but incredibly also Egypt, Iceland, and South Korea. We were stunned and bewildered. This was unexplainable, inconceivable. We spent days trying to figure out how this was possible and came up with nothing. By the third day we\u2019d secluded our little geek squad around pizza, coffee, and intense conversation behind closed doors in my spacious corner office. My executive assistant became suspicious and eventually burst into my office demanding to know what was going on. We explained the situation which she pondered for a moment then, with a smile, said simply \u201cwell it seems pretty obvious to me. These are bored military wives with access to this internet thingy, craving a piece of America\u201d.\u00a0 We were speechless.
