Shame it didn't work out for you, it has taken me a while to build up a good contacts list, but I have found the business model of import/export to be pretty profitable. Good luck with your new ventures!

Great videos! Can you provide any detailed insight into the import/export process? Specifically moving goods in and out of the US and any associated caveats. Thanks!

[mac450]

wow I would have done all that for a kiss

[Mercuryvirgo1982]

Wow amazing, you're very resourceful. Thanks for sharing your story.

[UgoUmeh]

I feel like if you had the internet, your probability of success would have increased dramatically.

[StrugglngEntrpreneur]

yes, very true, but i am still glad i am not in that business anymore, it wasn't for me.

[synergee]

so what biz are you into now? kudos for taking a chance with life :)

[semdavidanger]

[mosemd58]

your soooooooo hotttttttttt

[wonderkris]

the idea really seemed great ... and I was thinking ... why would that be really hard ... of course you explained

[StrugglngEntrpreneur]

thanks..and maybe not hard after some experience, but overall import-export has alot of uncertainties and situations not in your control, so it wasn't the business for me, couldn't handle it.

[StrugglngEntrpreneur]

some do well in it, this was just my experience, and i am sure it would have gotten easier over time because learning curves are always the steepest initially, but definitely not an easy business to pursue!!

[drunvalo]

Kudos to your persistance and ingenuity through all of this. Ketchup ha ha!!!! Also I don't think you had enough problems. This was just too easy!! Lol. After hearing all that you went through, I don't think I would ever consider the import/export business.

[StrugglngEntrpreneur]

The first message got cut off - this is an addendum to my video as there were many more complications I had that I couldn't fit in the video. Anyone thinking of starting an Import/Export business, first of all - GOOD LUCK and THANK GOD I am no longer in your shoes - and second, feel free to contact me for more info, I'm happy to share whatever else I know.

And it involved more labour than planned to peel each stencil which was stuck firmly to the dirty paper and peel the plastic coverings off...plan for alot of unforseen costs and complications such as this if manufacturing the product yourself!!

[StrugglngEntrpreneur]

We had the glistening white wax cardboard squares (that matched our kit) ready that require the assembly line workers to stick the stencil on...but my cost went up when the raw stencils came from India....
