Show Notes
We want to share, what's gone into us getting to where we are now.
Being persistent and sticking with something is how we gained success.
- 20 years ago, there was an idea that it took 3 years to break even and 5 years to be established.
- With digital business, we can be profitable in the first year.
- With Amazon FBA business, the customers are already there, wanting more to buy.
- If you weren't utilising Amazon's platform, you would have to figure out how to get people to your shop in the first place.
Amazon allows you to start a business with one product.
Compared to a high street hardware store that would need thousands of products just to interest people.
- I couldn't think of anything worse than doing this journey on my own.
- Find a partner or a team, join our Facebook group, start a mastermind group.
- Find someone to make you accountable for your actions.
Be realistic about what you will invest because you get out of your business what you put into it.
What's the rush? These things take time.
Time is going to pass anyway, so you might as well build something that you want to build.
