Hello All:
I'm experiencing some pains now that my business is growing and am looking for advice on how to manage and grow it more.
I'm experiencing some pains now that my business is growing and am looking for advice on how to manage and grow it more.
It is a product based business (fashion accessories, specifically) and it brings in about $1,000-$1500 a month.
First: I've been stuck at this number now and want to grow but a substantial amount of my time goes to labor versus sales, marketing, etc.
Second: as the company has been growing and orders are pouring in, I've reached a point where I'm literally paralyzed by the workload.
Third: I run this business out of my parent's basement, and it's reached a point where they want their basement back!
What the hell do I do? Get an office and some interns or employees?
Outsource the entire order fulfillment process (I would like to do this but..)?
Get a part time job to offset office space cost and reinvest income back into new products?
Thanks guys, I appreciate the advice and will offer any in return should you require -
