Title: Celebrating 9,000 Sales: A Journey from Side Hustle to Potential Full-Time Business
Today marks a significant milestone for my business—reaching 9,000 sales in just 335 days! What started as a spontaneous venture last year has transformed into a thriving online store, specializing in products for the glazing and trades industries.
Reflecting on my first year, it has been an exhilarating ride filled with both impressive highs and challenging lows. For instance, there were days when revenue barely touched £10, while others saw an exhilarating surge, bringing in around £900. Each experience has taught me valuable lessons about resilience and adaptation in the ever-changing landscape of online sales.
One notable change is the scale of my operations. Initially, I was picking up materials in the trunk of my car, but now I’m receiving pallet loads every week—an exciting, if daunting, evolution! Despite this growth, I still operate without a dedicated physical location, which raises an interesting question.
As I look back on this journey, I can’t help but wonder: At what point does my business transition from being a side hustle to a full-fledged job? It’s a playful consideration, but it’s also a crucial one for my future planning.
Here’s to more milestones ahead and navigating this unpredictable yet thrilling entrepreneurial path!
