Escape the Borg! - My Journey to Freedom, Ecommerce
GOLD!Repeat customers are key. My new business is going to be a consumable product with a monthly subscribe and save option.

Escape the Borg! - My Journey to Freedom, Ecommerce
GOLD!It's funny. You mentioned Built to Sell in another thread and I ordered it and finished it the same day. I've never really thought of a service based business as something that could be fairly automated/sold, but apparently it can. Also, I really like the idea of specialization and being...- PTP

GOLD!Sellable is definitely what I'm going after someday. Your thread has really made me think about the holding vs selling argument. A lot of the changes I'm making were inspired by your thread with the idea of making the business more appealing to a future buyer.- PTP

Escape the Borg! - My Journey to Freedom, Ecommerce
GOLD!So earlier I mentioned that I was starting a new business. I had decided on a product just to get moving and to get me out of the analysis paralysis stage. After talking with a ton of suppliers, I was getting ready for samples of the new product to be sent over. However, I honestly wasn't too...- PTP

GOLD!I appreciate the kind words buddy:) At the moment no. I found a new designer that is modifying the logo I created with their own twist. I will likely file for a trademark once its finished. The first designer I used had to sign an NDA. However, he did an awful job and I ended up having my...- PTP

6 Figures At 18! 1 Year of The Fastlane Forum
GOLD! EXECUTIONThanks for the advice! As it stands right now, i'm taking my first year of college off with the ability to go back if I decide to.

GOLD!Tell me about it! I was getting to the point of tearing my hair out because every day felt like a waste and I just wanted to start moving again.

GOLD!Update: Record high selling month in July. Sales were 2/3 of entire last year combined although I'm expecting that to come down a little bit this month.

GOLD!I appreciate it buddy! It's really hard knowing how much room to grow this business there is left, but also at the same time understanding the reality of the situation i'm in. What it boils down to is short game vs long game and I prefer the latter :)- PTP

GOLD!So I've had some time to see how being removed from the platform affected sales and the results are not *that* bad. I will be breaking last months sales either tomorrow or the day after and I'm pretty sure that would have happened regardless of using the platform or not albeit a little slower...- PTP

GOLD!Update: So I finished off June with sales 35% better than my previous best month. The funny thing is, nearly half my store it out of stock.
