Two people packing books on a garage floor. That's how the world's biggest retailer started. 🇺🇸
In 1994, Bezos had a great job on Wall Street. Then he read that internet use was growing 2300 percent a year.
He used what he called a regret minimization test: would he regret not trying this at age 80? 🤔
He quit that day. He drove cross-country and set up shop in a Bellevue garage. He first registered the company as "Cadabra," but changed it after a lawyer misheard it as "cadaver."
He renamed it after the world's biggest river, planning to build the world's biggest store.
When the dot-com bubble burst, Amazon's stock crashed 90%. Bezos didn't blink. He kept building. 👏
That bet paid off. Books turned into everything: electronics, groceries, streaming, even Hollywood studios.
Amazon Prime and Amazon Web Services, its cloud computing arm, became the company's biggest profit engines, quietly powering a huge chunk of the internet itself.(Donald J Trump Posts TruthSocial)
