errr.. "Almost Impossible"... What a ridiculous post! Sure it may be "almost impossible" for you but don't project your limiting beliefs onto the rest of us.
It's not limits belief, it's reality.
It's obvious, that during first 3-5 years the growth in the biggest, but to have 100% or higher growth on sales on big amounts year by year, you really need to have something exceptional and be exceptional. You can't make it just by ordering something from Alibaba, what other 10 people are selling, and make milions out of it, who will last for years.
Maybe the US market is so receptive, but, at least in Poland, the stories like you are telling here on miraculous milions made on Amazon, are impossible. We have our version of ebay&amazon combined, and, for everything what comes from China, doesn't matter in what market branch, people earn money only on shipping costs. Even if you start importing something new, within two months you will have such big competition, that you will be forced to close your business due to margings close to zero, or compete and trying to earn just on shipping costs. It just works that way here where I live.
If you have your own product, licensed, patented, doing services, that's another story. However, we habve 40 milions people, who have less money than you in the us, and most thing are cheaper in the us, and they are even cheaper if we will take into account averages salary.
As I said, of course, your company can grow like this, doubling or making sales go up by few times in an year, but at some point it will slow and stabilize. Second, you need to have something really exceptional for this. It can be the simpliest thing in the world, but there must me huge demand for it.
