We probably had 15 meetings so far and the boardroom dynamics are interesting considering everyone has an equal vote. 🤣&#xA;&#xA;We started out with registering a limited company in UK (£12), opening a commercial bank account (£0), and depositing £1,000, bought web domain (£10), bunch of service fees (~£100).&#xA;&#xA;My plan was:&#xA;&#xA;Day 1… £1,000&#xA;Year 1 profit… £10,000&#xA;Year 2 profit… £50,000&#xA;Year 3 profit… £100,000&#xA;&#xA;No dividend / salaries&#xA;&#xA;Well today we shipped our first £10,000 of product and next week we ship another £10,000&#xA;&#xA;But our margin is ~50% so things are looking really positive at the six month mark.&#xA;&#xA;Kids are loving it. &#xA;&#xA;Crucially it was important to start from essentially nothing. That’s the entire life lesson here… From nothing, at any time, just know you can do this.&#xA;&#xA;Blah blah something something about giving a fish or a net, blah blah.</html></oembed>
