    According to my forwarder, the cargo should arrive in the first week of October. This is order nr 3, around 950 units. I want to make another smaller one (around 500 units) ASAP so I get them before December. Hopefully I'll get it done this week. These two orders combined is around 6500€...

    Best Way to Move from EU to US? Any Success Stories?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    True, pretty much everything here can be done online and it's easy to start a business. We also offer e-residency for foreigners for them to easily start their businesses, but I don't know much about it. On the other hand, I do think it's hard to move here and to get a job as a foreigner...

    I crossed 25K mark this week, from the end of april to now. This is through website only. Total sales revenue is higher, probably around 30K . Bold predictment for this year is 50K, with profit more than 50%. I think I have to pay VAT as well before the end of the year so another new...

    Thank you, @Santi M ! I will! I know I've been playing it a bit safe due to the financial situation but it gets better each month so hopefully I have more to share in the future as well!

    Thanks! Still a long way to go but that's a start. Sorry, forgot to mention earlier, I didn't go with Shopify as I focus on the local market for now and there are better options, Voog for example. Once I start selling abroad, I need to upgrade though. I think I will start working on it after...

    Thanks a lot, @100k ! I appreciate your kind words. I try to listen to the customers as much as possible and always want to give out more than they expect. It seems that I'm on the right track. No matter what, I'm gaining a lot of experience and self confidence. The mental stuff is hard for...

    The same night when I wrote my last post, I realised that it is mostly an "upper limit problem" (ULP). If you're not familiar with the concept, it's from a book called "The Big Leap" by Gay Hendricks. I read it a couple of months ago. When things are going great and we are out of our comfort...

    Wow, August just flew by. And I've been lazy here. Sorry about that! So last month was a charity month for me and we raised some money for animals. Because I did not earn a profit last year with my company, I couldn't pay the charity with my company money - it would have been taxed hard, for...

    2020 resolution: No drinking alcohol for a year.

    HEALTH 
    Yeah, it has been pretty easy to be honest, which was a surprise for me. But I'm not sure. I am in the best shape of my life, it's going pretty well business-wise and I'm 100% sure that these things are connected with the fact that I'm not drinking anymore. Maybe a year or so ago I said that...

    2020 resolution: No drinking alcohol for a year.

    HEALTH 
    I have a couple of sketches to share regarding this matter, with english subtitles. It's a big issue that we swim, drive and do all other stuff while drunk. The guys, who did these are very popular here with their comedy! It's a bit grim but so is our whole nation.:rofl: View...

    What are your experiences with entrepeneurship in Europe?

    Hey. I'm based in Estonia and I started an ecommerce store a couple months ago. Our environment and government with its taxing here is rather supportive to entrepreneurship, especially considering our young age as a free nation. If people see it as a red flag and not a lot of companies, that...

    July is almost over and my sales revenue so far is over 10K! Amazing month and finally I have some cash sitting on my business account - almost 11K, for the first time in my life.

    My new order arrived in the end of June and the products were on sale on the 1st of July. Yesterday I finally crushed the 500€ mark (total sales revenue was 542€). Sales from the first 5 days of July are pretty much the same as whole June combined. But I was chilling for the most part last...

    Hey! Thanks for the support! It really depends on the product and the quantity, but usually a couple of thousands should be enough to start. I was not working in my home country so I knew I can't start before I am home for a long period. I wasn't comfortable before I had savings for at least a...

    Thanks! I guess it's true, but I'm not comparing to anybody. But I have taken the first steps and I believe that this is the hardest part for most of us. Can't see myself going back to the "normal life" anymore! :humph:
