I started a business about 6 months ago. For the past few months, I have been building it up. I have one more product that I am working on that is my last straw. Over 5k deep with 4 sales.
I am having a lot of doubts right now. My thought was my products were going to fly off shelves.
The reason I started this business is yes passion, but wait. There is also a need and a barrier to enter. So I went for it. I have sacrificed almost everything. I have no friends, i don't go out. I stopped gyming pretty much, barely eat. All I do is work the day job an business. I really don't feel like I am any closer to being a millionaire, but pushing myself even farther. I look at all my slowlane friends from the past They are living it up, happy. Moving out of their parents house, seeing the world, buying their cars. They are closer to being millionaires.
The benefits...I guess you could call it,
1) I learned how to make a website with Wordpress. I know HTML and CSS
2) I know how to communicate effectively with suppliers
3)I know a lot about stainless steel, since that is one of my products
4) I understand the operations of alibaba and private label.
5) I know how Google Adwords work
6) i know the process of getting social media marketing
7) better at dissecting a business, and seeing how they make money
8) My skills for creating vector/simplistic images for copywriting are a lot better
9) Video editing skills
10) product photography awesome
I am still not closer to being a millionaire at all. If my business fails, I literally don't have any other passion. How can I start a business without passion. That's like having a car without gas. I don't think I can pick myself up after this one...I just need advice. Any advice
