Does any entrepreneur have tips for starting a humble business?
I have started 3 businesses. Last one I sold was doing over 2M in revenue/yr prior to covid lockdowns. Please feel free to email me at grayrubyinvest@gmail.com and I will give you any advice I can.

Can you start it as a side hussle? Evening/weekends working on this while working your main job? Get things established and set yourself up.

I already do it that way, 12 hours at work (9hr of workload and 3hr to move by bicycle, approx 1:30 go/return). 1hr to prepare dinner, 3hr or more sewing and the time left is for sleep.
on saturday i only work 4hrs and that's when i can dedicate myself and produce more.
