I started this year by opening a startup.
The initial investment was around $3.5k.
It started as a niche Shopify store, opened a retail store in April. We're now looking for a venue in a premium location. Currently employing 7 people, in the next 3 months we'll have 9-10.
I quit my full time job last week to dedicate more time to this business.
If you asked me where we will be in 7 months when I was filling out the document forms, I couldn't imagine this. I'm projecting $250k+ revenue by the end of year.
I'm super proud of my team and the company, but also scared shitless of what's coming next.
Thats great man. You're very good at doing business congratulations.

If you need any help desk technicians, don't hesitate to reach outs.
Thanks buddy.
By spreading to the international market, there might be a need for support staff. I'm still managing to handle those since it's a pretty straightforward business.
I guess with increasing revenue and increasing amount of orders, the amount of customers needing support will also increase.
Congrats Mate, goodluck on your journey.

Before we had a store, my apartment was the base of operations.

Nice man sounds steady! Do you come from an entrepreneurial family or did you create that mentality yourself?

I come from a family of hard workers and dedicated learners.
I started off with 0 and created everything myself. I had no financial support in any way from my family if that's what you're asking.
Well done mate, dont forget to pay yourself first!
Wow now this is inspiring me. I really want to take the jump with a shopify store just scared to lose money. Did you ever feel scared in the beginning to invest time and money with potentially little to no return? Any tips to someone aspiring to do this? I'm envious.
What type of company are you running man? Anakin™
Sounds very interesting and exciting!
bugga told me I'm a cutie
