Mixing Business with Friends
PEOPLEIt was a mistake. I understand the need for the developer, but it's a big mistake to bring on other employees when you have yet to even validate your initial market offering. You don't even have an MVP yet. You're trying to build a business without an initial prototype of your product or...- Brian C.

Will you let this small problem stop you from becoming rich?
MINDSETI hope they are turned off. I hope they quit at the sight of any problem. It just might mean less competition for me. These problems, obstacles, hinderances (whatever you want to label them) are part of the process. Most people don't want to endure the process, but want the event. I love how MJ...- Brian C.

Importing Business for Germany (and possibly EU)
SOURCING EXECUTIONIn my personal experience, I rarely receive pricing in catalogues from manufacturers. Even though you asked, you might be better off asking for a quotation for the potential order of your desired product. This. This gets me excited. Perhaps I misread your post, but the notion of availability...- Brian C.

SOURCING EXECUTIONUpdate: (9/28) Just finished MJ's book. Talk about a complete change of perspective... I haven't sold anymore of my product since my last post nearly 10 days ago. With my brand and packaging applied, I played with the price and just brought it down from $6.00 to $4.98 with free shipping. This...- Brian C.

SOURCING EXECUTIONWillkommen @petkovic . Herzlichen Glückwunsch mit ihrer Tochter. I am currently involved in a similar process here in the United States, and am now moving on to importing my second product.

I've got to fire my brother.
HOT! MINDSETEDIT: I missed the point in providing advice - clearly your decision has already been made. You can argue until you're blue in the face whether or not to hire friends/family in business because there is no correct answer. I personally avoid it, after seeing my next door neighbor's business...- Brian C.

Sharing my lifetime experience in export/import. Product sourcing specialist.
GOLD! SOURCINGHope all is well Walter. I was going to PM you regarding my upcoming question, but figured it might benefit the group, so I posted it here. About a week ago, I stumbled across a manufacturer based in Canada by chance. This manufacturer carries the product I currently import from China amongst...- Brian C.

Importing for eCommerce Resale
SOURCING EXECUTIONUpdate: To date, I have sold 12 units of my first product- all without any packaging. I just finished applying my own packaging today, although I looked into potential firms to do the job. The packaging fits right in with my competitors, which are legitimate businesses. It isn't great by any...- Brian C.

Importing for eCommerce Resale
SOURCING EXECUTIONTo be honest, at first glimpse I did! When I first saw the $40/mo. fee I was left with sticker shock. I've never sold on Amazon before so it caught me by surprise. Yesterday, I attempted to list my item on Amazon, but was unable to do so because I lacked the UPC. It was then I realized that it...- Brian C.

Importing for eCommerce Resale
SOURCING EXECUTIONThe choice for me is obvious. With 500 units of my first product and with other products on the horizon, it wouldn't make sense for me to pay $0.99 on each item plus commission - especially when the item sells for only $5. I would be better off selling as a professional at $40/mo. especially as...- Brian C.

Importing for eCommerce Resale
SOURCING EXECUTIONGlad you stopped by @biophase . I am currently reading through your AMA eCommerce (2015+) thread. Great stuff. It's either $40/mo. or $0.99 per item plus commission as an individual seller. I think the choice is obvious. Time to get branding my product and add its UPC before taking the Amazon...- Brian C.

SOURCING EXECUTIONAppreciate the kind words @Azure The margin is acceptable, by no means great. I am somewhat upset I will have to go to the post office so often. I hear my old economics teacher yelling "opportunity cost" in the back of my head. Oh and eBay sucks too. eBay takes out roughly 10% then PayPal...- Brian C.

SOURCING EXECUTIONUpdate: Finally received my first order today. Instead of the 500 pieces I ordered, I received 505. It was a nice little touch from my manufacturer that genuinely made me happy.

SOURCING EXECUTIONDeciding on a Product I keep a list in my phone of products I see an opportunity in importing to the United States. Just about every product is small and low cost.
