Foundr - How I turned $24 to $600K per month

Hi ,

I was 22 years old, working at a full-time corporate job and pretty much living paycheck-to-paycheck.

I’ve never started a business before and I just had $24 left in my bank account.

I was working 40+ hours a week and not saving any money at all.

It was soooooo stressful.

How did I go from that to making $600k per month within just 6 months?

That’s what I’m showing you here in today’s video.

It feels like only yesterday that armed with an Instagram account and a Shopify store I started my first company, SkinnyMe Tea, from my mum’s kitchen table.

Blending the tea by hand, packaging it into zip lock bags from the supermarket with stickers from our local newsagent and then lugging hundreds of envelopes down to our local post office…

I made our first logo on Microsoft Word ‘98.

We were scrappy (and I’d love to say “but we were happy” but to be honest we were pretty far from most of the time).

Again, it was a stressful time—more lows than highs and exhausted from learning after learning.

I didn’t study business, I didn’t come from a home that discussed business (thank god haha, that would be a bit much in hindsight really).

I graduated uni late 2011, went straight into my first full time job and started SMT a couple of months into that.

As I said, when I started, I was 22 and had only $24 in the bank.

I didn’t even know what the word ecommerce was.

I was still working full time so I’d take the orders during the week and then pack and send them on weekends (which meant we were in a constant ‘pre-sale’, not that I knew that term, as I didn’t buy the ingredients or packaging until we’d made a sale).

After our first $1000 day I quit my job (that was almost my weekly wage anyway) without telling anyone because they’d all told me not to.

I remember thinking, I hope I have enough to do in a whole day…(I did).

We grew quickly from there, to be doing $600k / month, within 6 months.

I had never, ever seen money like that in my life.
