What's the MOST amount of money that you've made in a day? (With Your Business)

[Yoda]

“2k a year”

I said $2k/day. As in, per diem.​

When I first hit $500/day, it was actually pretty life changing paying off debts in a matter of months. I continued to live a very lowly lifestyle for as long as possible and just put everything towards debts. Paying the last loan off was... kind of surreal, honestly.

When I hit $1k/day, it was a complete shift in mindset where money became a tool. I went from thinking about scarcity and just "hanging on" to "how do I turn this into another $1k/day as fast as possible" mentality.

When I hit $2k/day, I actually started stressing about taxes quite a bit more, but money was, overall, kind of numbing day-to-day. It felt almost obsolete, and the daily goal meant little compared to the "big win" to become secure for a lifetime.

On some days, I've surpassed $3k/day and it feels just like $2k/day but bigger.

But here's the interesting thing...
​

Back when I had the one big paycheck of $67k in a month, it felt semi-useless. This is for three reasons, that I can think of:

1. I had no idea when the next one was coming​
2. I had every dollar ear marked towards bills, debts, and "winter months"​
3. The security it granted really was false and evaporated in about two weeks​

Mine was around $27k. Ran a buy one get one free sale.

There are certain industries that will inflate this number. As an example, large construction equipment sales. You might only sell a few a year, but they can bring $50k+. Another might be jet plane sales. A single sale could yield an even higher number, easily.

My personal best is about $67k.

I like making $2k/day better than $67k here and there, though. Stability, man.

About 4M. Took a few years to get the building ready for sale. Cleared more than 2M for one transaction.

Seems that many people feel online sales are the only real businesses here.

There is a big difference between what you "make" and what you "sell".

But yes, the goal of all this is upward trajectory on both of those numbers

 

[biophase]

Assuming this was on Amazon? Would you say it was worth it, and would you do it again? That's one promo I haven't experimented with yet.

Also, mine was a little under $6k less than a week ago. Obviously looking to top this several times in the next month, as I'm sure all of us will be hitting new all-time highs soon too.

It was $20k on my website and $7k on amazon. the promo was from my website only.

I presold it with an email to my list 2 days before and also a bunch of Facebook posts.

I did it a second time 6 months later and did only around $19k.

Now customers are expecting it and waiting for it. So I’m not sure it’s a good thing.

I will be doing it again on Black Friday.

I'm in building materials.

A $100k+ day happens on bigger projects. Working up to that project takes awhile though.

145 dollars profit.

Invested: 2820 usd

Bought 100 bags of Nestle Milk from Carrefour - one by one - standing in the cold, and sold it to a wholesaler within 3 hours.

$27k in a day crew checking in.

In ecom (mostly dropshipping).

 

[francevalue]

40€
I sold 2 watches (dropshipping)

 

[broswoodwork]

I've sold a few houses. Do those count as a single day though? If so, $47,000.

I got a $7,500 commission check once for finding an environmental systems engineer for the Spaceship Co, but that was as an employee.

For an actual repeatable process, that was 100% my own, my best day was $2,260. I'm most proud of this one.

Maybe I'll wait until the end of tax season this year and send out all my invoices on the same day...

Senior Managing director in MNC in their 50s who make 300k a year would be one step closer to what you call “2k a year”. But eventually one has to look in slow lane for stability.

I am afraid business by nature is highly unstable. You can have multiple streams of income to stabilize it to a certain extent only.

Wah? That slowlane stability is provided by a company. Own it or work for it, that company has to be stable for a stable wage.

And you get a job working for what?...

A business.

If business is inherently unstable then so is a job.

Businesses or industries can be unstable, but not “business” as a whole.

You know what is stable? Owning your own means of production, whatever that is.

About 5k for a single comission sculpture, but it was a process of discussing it wth the clients for a long time. Also, it was paid in different payments, and made later in a long process...

Great posts above, a great source of inspiration!

Why sales and not profit?

Ex: I made $1M in sales

...but also have $1M in expenses.

The focus should be on profit. People just posting sales number to flex, but hide their expenses.

 

[Chitown]

Around $22,000. I had 44 cars back and forth to San Diego for Comic-Con for one of my movie studio accounts.

LOL, I saw this thread and thought... holy shit, do I dare write an answer? Thanks for posting this Steve. In RE the numbers are just so much bigger. Yes, old tried and true businesses can still do well for those willing to become good.

Exactly.

With industrial chemicals, it is quite high every time a customer says yes.

Nice numbers brothers

If you can improve from hitting the big case every six month to every three month, and eventually to once every month, its a form of improvement that is very powerful.

Selling big ticket items eventually will be more worth the money on the effort if you can stomach the adjustment phase where it seems to take forever to get that deal.

$310k Real Estate

 

[SteveO]

I don’t think of my REI sales as a gross revenue in a day. Because then anyone who sold their home can say it was $400k in day or whatever their sales price was. Which would surely trump most other days in their every day business.

Buying and selling real estate was my main business. I had rental income but the income from that was in the noise level compared to the goal of the sale. Yes, I was being a bit of a smart a$$ with my response but making a point that businesses come in more than one shape. Otherwise, I don't get to play this game.

Did €230k (€229,927.74) in one day with online trading on 12 November 2017 when Bitcoin Cash pumped to $2,800 and back to $1,480 on a Sunday morning. And it was all profit.
