    Starting my first E-commerce venture.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Okay, so it has been a slow couple of weeks (months). Website is now on a different platform and I have succesfully detached myself from packaging/shipping as well. Found a marketing specialist last week, we decided to work together on monday. But she hasn't had time for me for a week now...

    Is it actually true as MJ claims that starting a business doesn't require much capital?

    HOT! 
    I can tell from only my own experience, but I didn't need that much. It was around 2K€ for me to get started in april 2020 - not a big amount to save from dayjob. Sales in 2020 was over 50K, in a very small country. Profit around half of that. Now its almost fully automated. May get a job to...

    Not entirely true. You can start locally, with the right business model, like e-commerce for example. It's possible to scale it after you've made enough sales in Estonia. Just takes some time and research, that's all. Don't sabotage yourself. ;)

    An Important Reminder: It's Not About What You Like

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    I agree with most but I personally think that most of the people here, at least who have read MJ's books, can (and should) tell, somewhat objectively, from the product, if it's just them that like it or could there be overall need for a bigger market. But yes, we should set our own emotional...

    Comfort VS Frugality ?

    MINDSET 
    Are there maybe any spare rooms to rent out in the villa? So it would lower your cost and you'd be the boss and choose people to live there. But if that's not an option, and your earnings are around 6K and the future looks bright, I'd still go with the villa too :hilarious:

    Starting a clothing brand

    Don't know much about clothing brands, but pretty much anything can be profitable IF you're able to give people what they want. Tough space though.

    Starting my first E-commerce venture.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    It's been a while, things have been a bit slow due to some personal stuff. I've decided to automate everything I can with my store that's selling locally, I'm currently moving to different platform (I want to outsource shipping and my current platform doesn't support it) and then I will hire...

    How do I do accounting/bookkeeping for my business?

    How far are you with your business? I don't think you need an accountant to get your first sales. I didn't have one until I was about a year in. If you pay a salary/VAT then you'll probably need help. At least that's how it is here in Estonia. That's my experience only. You can send invoices...

    I need help maintaining a balanced diet

    HEALTH 
    Diet is the most important thing. Start preparing your own meals and ditch fast food. Its ok sometimes though. maybe you can get a meal and training plan for yourself

    I need help maintaining a balanced diet

    HEALTH 
    I had the same problem. If you don't eat you can't gain anything. I have to eat 3 pretty big meals and also between the meals. So try to add some healthy snacks between, like peanut butter and rice cakes, add banana slices on top etc. And make sure you get enough protein as well. My morning and...

    Anyone have a sauna?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    That's a must have indeed. Going from tempeture that high to almost freezing. I love the sizzling feeling after that, that's amazing. When I was working in Norway with some other estonians building cabins, there weren't any saunas. So we built it ourselves, a small one on a side of a hill...

    Starting my first E-commerce venture.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    New shipment arrived yesterday and I'm almost ready to start selling abroad. I will focus on a couple of EU countries first. I will probably get a new store up and running in the next week or two. I have no idea how it will work out, but hopefully can get a couple of sales from outside my local...

    New product. From idea to drawings to reality?

    IDEA 
    I got the samples! Looks good overall, haven't played yet. Unfortunately I don't want to go into very specific details or add pictures here because this thread is public. I'm going to be pretty busy with my other shop, because a couple of new shipments are coming in this week, but I try to test...
