Episode 2412

This is a success story from Chloe, a San Francisco-based entrepreneur who's hit the jackpot with her e-commerce store. Chloe started selling a few months ago (note: she doesn’t want to say what she’s selling) and is already pulling in an impressive $10,000 a month. That’s great, but she’s feeling a bit overwhelmed with the rapid growth of her business. This is a common feeling when a side hustle takes off, so let's explore how she can handle this exciting yet daunting situation.
"Hey there, I'm calling with a positive report and also an interesting dilemma. After a few other projects that never got off the ground, last year I launched an e-commerce business that has really taken off. Surprisingly, it's been more successful than I could have ever imagined, and now I'm earning around $10k a month. While I'm thrilled, it's also a little overwhelming to handle this all on my own. It feels like I've jumped into the deep end and now I have to think about all sorts of things I never considered: should I try to scale it further? Should I quit my job? In short, help! How do I navigate this big success, and what are the next steps I need to consider?"
