Hi guys,

I wrote an article the other day about a business I launched in 2008 and the highs and lows I experienced during the time I was running out. I've put the intro below, but you can check out the full read here. (http://www.sofamoolah.com/personal/my-early-business-life-a-6-figure-business-that-fell-apart-when-i-was-16/)

In this early recount of my business life I go into detail of how I created an online business that was importing crates of consumer electronics from China, had revenues of high 4 figures per month, made me a power seller on eBay, generated national media attention and put me in one of those ridiculous “top 10 young entrepreneurs in Australia” list. I also talk about the fall of ZOR which involved the intention to sue from one of the biggest companies in the world (read the first ever post on Sofa Moolah for more information about this) and a lifelong suspension from eBay.

You must choose a good employee for your small business, She/he must be all around for you to save money for hiring many staff.

That was a good story. It is amazing what you can find if you kick a few rocks. That 'out side of the box' is going to be something that will always allow you to land on your feet.

Good luck with it all.

Great story and a suggest read to everyone. Very inspiring and "wow" what a way to learn the ropes! I can see now that your next venture will be successful do to the priceless lessons learnt.

Also very interesting how, with just a few tweaks the "failed" venture could still be hooning along, but exhausted yourself and couldn't take up the reins again. Something else to learn and take away from your story. Loved it.
