    It doesn't make sense why someone would want to be a businessman

    MINDSET 
    I'm running a business since april. I have more time than ever. Still making less than while I was working, but never been more free. And finally I have time to work out regularly so in best shape of my life as well. Can't complain. If you start a business for "worldly gains" then the problem...

    What Is So Hard About Entrepreneurship?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Yes. That is the most difficult thing for me. :D I've struggled with anxiety most of my life thanks to two major traumas in childhood, so thinking too much and overthinking things are the main problems in business for me. But normal business stuff and getting the right things done is not so...

    It's 20%. There are some expenses, yes. Of course it will affect things, but I will adjust. There's no other way. ;)

    I wouldn't say "easily". There are some issues with it. Update! October was pretty successful as expected. 1. november was my record day so far. But still short of 1K. And with that, my 40K threshold is exceeded. So I registered for VAT number today (I also raised the prices on my website a...

    Motivate me..! I just can't do the work..!

    Thats why I said “in the long run”. Motivation clearly helps. But it’s overrated. It won’t keep you building a side business for a year 5am every day before your slowlane work when you can’t even pay yourself a salary. edit: the main point is, motivation can help you do more work and feel...

    Happy birthday, @MJ DeMarco ! Thank you for writing these great books and thank you for building this amazing forum, which happens to be my favorite place on the internet. Many of us are slowly building lives that we never thought was possible for common folks to build. Have fun and stay safe!

    That's right! I think the shipping costs are alright, yes. Not super expensive. I would still sell the same product (obviously not mugs). Maybe I would need to use a logistics/warehouse partner, they usually have even better rates. That would help me automate it a bit if the sales go well. I...

    Let's say I'm selling mugs with Estonian flag - that's why they sell well here because Estonians can relate to that. I have social media and website built only for local audience. It's going well and this doesn't require a lot of time and effort right now. I want to sell abroad as well so I need...

    Hey, @Kasimir ! I think it will be around 10-11K in October. I definitely need to expand indeed, and sell across EU for start. The thing is, I can't really sell the exact same products that I sell in Estonia. There's a feature why it's popular here and I have to change it a bit to sell in...

    Thanks, @Gerrald ! I haven't really had any earlier adventures regarding entrepreneurship, only one small project (I used artists from Fiverr to draw portraits and sold them here locally). I did this just to start something finally. I finished with this in March. I was working as a...

    I have found a photographer for my products, right now he's writing down some ideas for the shooting. I believe we can get great photos and that means better ads and content on my website and social media accounts as well. I get decent traffic to my website but the conversion rate is rather...

    There's also another idea in the back of my mind - to sell the Estonian store and all that's included. There are some factors why I can't sell the same product here and in other countries. So the local market is very small. Things to think about! To be honest I would love to concentrate only on...

    So what next? My idea was to set up another online store to sell abroad, but now I'm thinking maybe I should also start with Amazon..? Maybe before the online store? If I'd use FBA, that would save time and maybe I could get some first customers and extra funds.. EU first and then US too?

    I want to make everything about this business better. Starting from the product photos, I'm looking for a photographer now. Hopefully I will get new better photos done next week. Then I'd like to get some help with SM ads and overall marketing. I'm getting pretty good results myself, but I feel...

    Very inspiring thread, those are some amazing numbers already. Another great example about what can be done with a scalable product/business. I'm sure you'll get some sales through your own website as well soon enough!
