Yeah, just noticed! Seems like my prediction came true earlier than I had thought
So, what's the next goal? I think it's time to find another golden keyword once you're able to sort out the logistics side of things.
Nah keep polishing and pushing I've only got 322 product I think I want to expand the core product line this year - would be nice to reach around 500 I've currently got 70 in production which will make it online next year.
I'm also expanding the product line but into other avenues ... gifts etc.. companion products to sell (but I think that this will become another brand) I've also had customers request about adding in specific product combinations so will be doing that.
My plan was to invest around 30k into a new product line and launch it on Amazon later this year this whole "virus" situation has been an eye opener on how shifting a few thousand units in a short time would work so it's meant I've had to refocus and plan my attack on that - at least now I can see pitfalls and mistakes before I've made them.
The biggest issue now is looking to scale I've been building gradually on a nice steady curve and now all at once I've just hit this explosive vertical climb so it's dealing with all of that which comes with it, new challenges etc.
I thought id managed to step back away from the business without so much of an emotional tie but the last few weeks have been hard. I've had customers wish my kids get Covid, invite me to funerals because I've killed them, had people tell me I killed their kids, people just cause shit on review sites, people wanting to come get me with a bat LOL (I phoned and invited him to my house, sadly he never turned up)
I got a bit personally defended over it - thought I was thicked skinned so I took some deep breaths and decided to just not let it get to me although one customer I'm 95% sure once this COVID thing is lifted I'm going to go to his house and break his legs but will see plans change etc
So yeah moving forward its looking to put what I've learnt into reality, dealing with the growth. New products etc... dunno next 12 months will be interesting will see what happens.
