    Is Success down to hard work or luck?

    MINDSET 
    If you work hard, you're always in a better position to make the most of those lucky breaks that might come your way.

    I have a 200 square metre warehouse that this business and my main business run out of. In the beginning I started in 8m square bedroom in our house (and that was enough space for the first 2 years or so before we built a 50m square shed in the backyard and moved the business into there. That...

    You're welcome. There might be some good books out there but no, I just used free readily available information online and then trial and error. I originally started out creating small websites as an amazon affiliate and this was a great way to learn.

    Google have pushed organic results further down the page but yes, it's definitely still important. It provides long term, free traffic. It's definitely worth putting the effort into it up front as it will pay off down the track. My main business gets at least 5,000 visitors a month from organic...

    In the fastlane and looking to go even faster!

    NOTABLE! 
    The business still hasn't got back to where it was pre-covid although we're making progress. Currently we're doing around 140-150k in revenue a month (at it's worst point we hit around 120k per month, and pre covid at the best we were doing around 200k per month). The worst part however is...

    Apologies for the ridiculously late reply. No, nothing offline at all, it was all online prospection. If I was a natural salesman I think I could have really done well with a few phone calls to beauty schools or large salon chains etc.

    Alright. Time for a long, long overdue update on this business. I really did have intentions of doing frequent updates but my main business has taken up a lot of time trying to get it back to where it was post covid. This past financial year was our worst since the business began but things are...

    Sorry, I've been completely absent for some time. While very slow, I have been making progress with this new business. We launched in March and sales have just started coming in, in the past 2 weeks. Nothing to write home about yet, but I'll try and get to a detailed up date soon.

    He didn't so much knock him down, as knock him about 10 feet UP before he came back down. Most brutal KO I've ever seen.

    Best book on hiring people to boost your business' growth?

    Try the E-Myth by Michael E Gerber. It covers everything you've mentioned here including doing a 80/20 analysis of your processes etc. There's not many business books I recommend but that one helped me a great deal.

    Update: I've written the expected expenses for getting the business up and running below (all costs are in AUD) I had a logo designed last year when I initially came up with the idea for this business and also purchased the .com and .com.au domains so those expenses are set. This week I'll be...

    6 years ago I left the rat race to start a salon supply business (my backstory is here) and I’ve documented part of my journey to FU money in this thread. Unfortunately the salon supply business is currently going through a very lean period due to covid. Lockdowns have meant that many of our...

    +1 I've been using it for social media, website and email graphics for the past couple of years and it's been fantastic value. Super easy to use and they keep making it better.

    I considered it very briefly. The main reasons I decided against it: 1) The cost - compared to paying my own employee to pack and ship the cost was quite prohibitive and meant that we wouldn't be able to compete with many of our competitors on price. 2) Attention to detail - The products we...

    Hi @Walter Hay, We have been importing beauty products from China & Korea for around 5 years now and have built some great relationships with those suppliers. We are about to start dealing with some suppliers in Vietnam (found via Alibaba) What are the main differences I should be aware of...

    $30m business and I'm just a bitch

    HOT! INTRO 
    I completely agree. You're already in a very comfortable position. So much so that an extra million really won't impact your overall happiness or quality of life. Staying stuck in a position you hate for several more years (a decent percentage of your life) will though.

    It's been a long time since I did a proper update so here goes... Things haven't progressed as well as I'd hoped lately. Covid has had an impact on both our customers ability to trade and our suppliers ability to provide us with stock. There's also a LOT more competition in our niche now. At...

    Thankyou! From the very beginning I found factories that could produce what we wanted with our own packaging. There were several products though that we couldn't find factories capable of producing quality better than what was already on the market for certain products so for these ones we used...

    Thanks for the advice. Some of the suggestions you've made were based on posts I made a few years ago and have since been implemented (For instance I hired a 2nd picker and stopped picking/packing myself, hired a bookkeeper etc.). A lot of your suggestions though I can still definitely take...
