Today I officially hit a personal goal... $1MM in revenue . Peanuts compared to our largest competitor, but man is it a long way from where we started. Still a one man "side hustle," still dreaming of one day "quitting my day job," that I still work 8-5 every day hah! Today marks a 200% y/y increase in revenue (and we are still 6 months from finishing the year)
So I will be completely honest, I would read these type of posts a year ago and think people were just making up numbers. I'm not here to sell anything, promote a book, link you to my youtube tutorial, or anything like that, I just wanted to get a chance to put my "we did it" out here for others to see and hopefully inspire to either keep at it or pick it up.
Last year for 6-8 months I taught myself everything from SEO to custom PHP for hitting those SERPs. My wife asked me a very simple question last year, which was "where is all your money?" I had a good understanding, but had no way to show her it was tied up in inventory/PO's/etc so I also taught myself the double book accounting method and now enjoy Income/Profit reports on the daily.
My point is, I have now touched a lot of the pieces of the business I would of only dreamed about knowing or doing a year ago. I would love to answer any questions you might have or hear any stories or other anecdotes. Thanks for your time!
