    HOT! 
    Thanks for the replies. To be honest there isn't anyone in my niche either in UK or USA who is doing well selling the products on a website. That's why i thought there was a gap in the market. Plus there is a lot of searches for the types of products we sell. There are a few doing 7 figures on...

    HOT! 
    Hi As some of you will know from my previous posts i sell physical products. Namely batteries and chargers. Over the years i've tried increasing sales on our website. Initially i made the mistake of paying a lot for a website then didn't really send any traffic. However i've now got a website...

    What is your WHY?

    MINDSET 
    I wrote this a while ago on another thread regarding your WHY. The "Why" is an extremely important in anything. I read a book a couple of years ago (i think it was from Robert Kiyosaki) and there was a parable about a woman who's husband had died and he was from an extremely wealthy family. The...

    It's not bleeding cash, it was but i've reduced overheads to the maximum and now it's just ticking along. Breaking even at best more than likely after tax. That's not a business however. It's a job with more hours and stress. "Increase sales, decrease overhead. Become profitable again" That's...

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. I've got lots of ideas or should i say products i know will be profitable to sell but as the vicious circle continues i need cash to buy them. I am going to implement one thing this week, and thats to add a second Ebay store selling the same products at...

    Thanks for your advice. I understand where you are coming from and i can chip away at it but it's going to take a lot of time - months if not a year whereby i'm not running out of stock. 30% of the business comes from Amazon UK, if during any time in the next 6-9 months I get a suspension (and...

    It varies depending on SKU and supplier but can be anywhere from 1 week to 6 weeks. Then when it comes back into stock it takes another 7-10 days for sales to start kicking back in. We're currently running at around 14% of total value of stock with no sales in last 60 days which i'm reducing...

    So it's been more than 3 months since I wrote this post and it's time to update on the current situation. Firstly my brother is still working for me but being paid by my Father. He's back doing the packing which he previously wasn't happy doing but has actually got his head down and got on with...

    I was talking to my Fathers friend on Friday night. He's an ice cream man. He told me the man he works for is worth about £20m. He's invested his ice cream money into property. On Saturday morning my Fathers friend is due to be working in one of the ice cream vans. There's another two vans also...

    @MTF ha yes I remember that. Coincidentally yesterday my Wife handed her notice in work. She couldn't handle the stress. She's on 6 months notice. I've got that time to generate the extra income she earned so that she doesn't have to look for another job. So how about we wait until I've done...

    I live in Liverpool, Uk. This morning I had to turn the car on for 10 mins to defrost the windscreen before taking the kids to school. It's dark around 5pm now but pretty soon it will be dark by 3.30pm. I hate it. It's about that time of year where my "winter depression" kicks in. I'd love to...

    Yes for starters I'm starting to move stock that hasn't been listed anywhere or slow selling. Secondly sending more popular skus to Amazon fba. My business turns over £600k a year. A combination of stock sitting there and too many overheads over a long period of time has resulted in this...

    Absolutely spot on. I couldn't agree more. That's why I made the point in my original post that I felt like I was losing faith in myself. It's 100% my fault why my business is in this position. I'm thankful for advice I've received but a lot is focusing on my brothers issues. I highlighted...

    Yes he has his own problems but as I said on previous post he does actually do his job to the minimum. At the moment I'm focusing on the business problems and number 1 is reducing the overheads. By this time tomorrow I will have reduced them by £2000 a month. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
