You can do it much faster. However the quicker you rise to profitability the less stable your foundation is and the deadlier are any changes to the market. In my example I went from nothing to purchasing 500k in goods within roughly 6 months. When the Ukrainewar played with the electricity prices the company exploded though. There was no foundation to keep it afloat until you pivot.
I don’t think there is such a thing as a failed entrepreneur. The rate of failure is so high, that not succeeding is overwhelmingly the expected outcome. Success is closer to a miracle especially on the first go around.
I say that, but some others would also call me a failed entrepreneur. However I would never agree to this, but at least I had times of high troughput money others only see in movies.
Keep at it. Head high.
Website can be really cheap so don’t worry too much about it. Growing is part of the fun and nothing will feel as great as seeing your workers highly motivated because you can pay them a great wage and create a nice environment for them to thrive in.
Damn what a wild thing to happen. Did you try to get another website running and rebrand or was that lost to trying to get the original site back?
Using credit lines aggressively for growth. I was careful about it, but it helped me the most. Unfortunately though I say credit lines. Banks wouldn’t touch what I did though.
