What a journey business is! I started this thread over 2 years ago and my how things have changed. I went from approximately 250k in sales in 2014 (sorry don't have the exact 2014 numbers in front of me) to a hair under a million in 2015 to being on target for 2-3 million this year!
We've moved from selling out of a spare room, to a garage, to now a small warehouse space. It will be interesting to see what the next couple of years hold. I was talking with a friend this week about the future of the company. We should be doing 10 million in sales per year by 2018. We have expanded to over 150 different products currently and growing all the time. Every new product gets us a little closer to that goal.
What are your goals? What are you doing today to get you there?
congrats man, I'm still reading the earlier pages but decided to jump the last page just to see if i see any latest updates and was glad to see this. couple questions for you
1. do you feel like this is a fast lane business in the sense of where you have both the time and money or the more you gain/earn the less time you have? ( i am assuming the bigger you get , either you hire logistics staff or move to Amazon FBA so you can focus on just product searching rather than the packing and shipping)
2. do you look for products in the same niche/market/industry or really just anything that have good profit margin?
3. this is a follow up to the 2nd question, when you created your own web site, was it hard to identify yourself in terms of what type of products you sell? (this is assuming you just sell products that have good profit margin, where you can have a list of products that's all over the map)
4. are you still a one man show for most part minus logistics staff or the business had grown where you had to take in partners?
I am looking to get into the same line of business, this thread is very inspiring. apologies for repeating any questions but this is a long thread lol
