I didn't know how to best summarize all these topics so figured creating a new thread and putting it all together might be the best way to go about it. I'll just update this thread from now on. Here are the topics I started and my journey to the current present that is this topic. Been quite a ride...
Sales and profits would have been higher if my suppliers could meet our demand but they're actively working on it so next year should be even better. The later half of the year is when things really started picking up and the monthly profits are now in a very healthy 5 figure range. Will be interesting to see what happens next year.
Even with all the ups and downs you experience in business, you can't pay me enough to ever return to a 9-5. Keep at it guys, it gets better. My life was at a low point when I posted that first thread and if you told me I'd be here 4 years later, I wouldn't believe you. Always remind yourself why you're doing this because when times get tough, your "why" will be the only thing pulling you through the bullshit.
Here's a picture from the last 30 days of sales
Sales for the last year
- INTRO - Turned 22, HAVE to make a change! Started with posting this thread on June 10, 2016 at 22.
- EXECUTION - My 3rd attempt at creating a business. Finally have some sales. I then went ahead and created an execution thread to follow my business progress on October 12, 2017 but I was so busy building the business that I didn't really care to post updates until there was traction.
- Finally quit my job! Then, on August 22, 2019 I announced that I quit my job to pursue my business full time.
