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 customers cannot operate and therefore are not buying our products and our suppliers are unable to provide a lot of what we need.
While making less money sucks, the silver lining is that I’m in a situation where I have the time and opportunity to start another business (something I briefly considered when covid started last year, but I incorrectly assumed at the time that covid would be a temporary situation - I now know better)
As was the case with my last thread I won’t be disclosing the exact niche but I’ll be providing as much detail as I can including expenses & revenue.
I don’t have an ebook, a course or coaching sessions to sell. I just want to document my journey to help other people and to keep myself accountable to taking the action I need to take.
Like the salon supply business, the products I’m going to sell are also in the beauty niche, however these will be aimed at the home consumer rather than B2B which I’m hoping will make the business somewhat covid-proof.
I’ll be starting with a budget of roughly 4-5k (the same as my previous business). I’ll dedicate around 1-2 hours a day to this new business and will be aiming to make 2k profit per week within 6 months of launching (aiming to launch around October this year)
If I can pull this off, then so can you.
I’ll provide regular updates with what I’ve worked on and will do my best to answer any questions.
