Imagine you start an online store and grow sales to $1 million pretty quickly. How awesome would that be? And everyone around you thinks you’re successful and doing great.
But you know differently.
Yes, sales are rolling in. But, and it’s a big BUT, you ain’t go no money. There’s nothing left in your bank account and you’re not profitable.
Then what???
You have 2 options.
- Shut down your e-commerce site completely because mama’s got rent, or…
- Figure out a way to get profitable in the next 6 months. Period. Profitability or bust.
These were the only 2 options for my guest today.
In this episode, I interview Jen Geale, one of the owners of Mountain Bikes Direct. They sell gear, bikes, and accessories for the mountain bike niche in Australia.
Jen is so honest about what she and her partners did when faced with a $1 million dollar business that wasn’t making any money.
You’re going to love Jen – she’s awesome – and so is her business journey.
