    Thanks for the book recommendation, looks like a very worthwhile read. I've been consuming a lot of Subbly content, they also have a great private Facebook group where people share ideas, problems etc. on sub boxes. Really valuable.

    Wow! Congrats to that person! I find subscription boxes models so interesting. The fact you can have a relatively low number customers but yet a loyal community of them means it can be a healthy business.

    I have large notepad which is basically my idea notepad. I prefer having a large one as if I have an idea I start drawing it out and it really helps me to visualise it.
