Great video! People have to know that entrepreneurship is a marathon not a sprint. You are going to get winded, thirsty, hungry, tired, etc. But there is no greater satisfaction than building something you can call yours that can support you and your dreams. Keep rocking it!
I really appreciate your authenticity and transparency. It’s rare to find content creators who openly share their journey to success. Many people focus on the end result, but leave out the obstacles they faced or the steps they took to get from point A to B. This channel is truly refreshing, I love it!
This is one of the realist videos ever bro! The sacrifice required to be an entrepreneur can’t be spoken about enough. There is no middle ground for start ups. You have to be comfortable getting use to saying “no”….. a lot. Well done brotha.
This was an honest and humble video. One thing I am so proud of you for is you did all that with not one bank loan! I am proud of you Son and I have so much RESPECT for you and how you have grown Fishbox! This is some real advice and I know will help someone to start their business! Love you Son!
I’m 2 years in of where you were and it’s hectic breaking through everything. I’ve been praying and hoping that it’ll end soon. I didn’t take this route just to give up. Either way I know turning back is not the life I wanna live. Thank you for making this video!!
You got this! I remember being at that point…some tough times but as I look back I’m so grateful I went through that because it gave me thick skin. The same will be true for you. Keep going and let us know if we can help with your journey 🤝📦
Super HELPFUL and Absolutely AWESOME video on the reality of starting a business from scratch! I opened my doors here for $32k. Unfortunately, I still have $24k of that in debt, but most of it is interest free for another 6-8 months. Plus, once the interest kicks in it will be 100% of a tax write off. Hoping to be able to pay off sooner rather than later.
Thank you! And you’re right, this (and any business) is a significant investment. But if you can make the numbers work and pull through it’s definitely worth it. I’m rooting for you, friend!
From humble beginnings comes great things!! You are awesome my brotha and have nothing to be ashamed of. Keep following your dreams you're very motivational 😊
Definitely did! I appreciate the love! And yes, we were able to be monetized via the TH-cam partner program a few months back and we are making just a little bit per month, but we are excited to see that grow in the future 📈🙏🏽
Good information! I definitely would like to start an independent mailbox/business center like this. The info in this video helps. I am definitely still looking on ideas on how to find the right location in exactly what to put in it, etc. in other words, the basics to start if you have any videos on that, please let me know!
If a friend tells me he or she is living in back of their small business while it gets off the ground, I think it sounds pretty cool. I’m like “Wow! You’re really putting your heart into it!”
I get what you are saying. However, the Gig reference isn't anything to shame folks over or to be ashamed of. Don't assume... What was a blow to your ego isn't a blow to others egos.
Thought this was going to be more about the financing, like type of loan you used, business plan, down payments….great to hear your life story but could use more actual business knowledge.
That’s some great feedback! That will be helpful for future content. I’ll be sure to make a more in depth video about that in the future. I appreciate you taking the time to check out the vid.

Yo - I really like the quote "learn how to say no a lot more to be able to say yes to yourself" saying no isn't new but they way you put it is.
My life really changed for the better when I started saying yes to myself more

Thanks for the kind words, and you’re right! Marathon and not a sprint. 🤝📦

Where do you get the totes from, the Amazon looking Totes which have # 538
The Amazon drivers leave them for us for free if we ask nicely. They have a ton of them on their truck.

You’re a good friend! I had some friends who definitely respected my hustle. Thanks for checking out the vlog 🤝📦
I ❤ love ❤ love❤ you.
Feelings mutual 💯

Great point!
Wow but how the u get your 30k, missed it I think
