I was a university student when this business idea came to mind. So I wasn't working on it fulltime.
It took me around 18 months to get this business up and running.
I've spent countless hours and late nights trying to perfect this business before going live.
The process:
1. Finding the right supplier.
2. Getting samples sent out by numerous suppliers.
3. Back and forth communication and design alterations.
4. Website design.
5. Product photoshoots.
I knew starting a business wasn't easy, but it was much more time consuming than I ever planned for. I see myself to be a bit of a perfectionist, so everything had to be accurate to what I planned for.
