I wish I knew my future was headed in this direction so I could have gone to university/college and got a degree in chemistry. Started growing flower to making oils with a 2lb bhogart cls, never thought I’d be in the business of cannabis oil.

“Pulling myself up by my bootstraps” in the industry?
-Grind every day while still taking personal time for yourself
-Do something every day to make business better
-Remember you enjoy the industry and take a brief break from the parts that are a drudge like trimming or drama employees create, even if it’s just taking a tasty dab or eating a D8/THCV edible.

Here is more proof that free marketing is soo important to a business.
I don’t do a single bit of paid advertising. Don’t even really post anything but to the story of my Instagram. Yet a large margin of my business comes from there and here.
I don’t even have a Facebook page, don’t do reddit, google ads, SEO of any kind, and yet free tools have made this a business
**** and some insight to what powders I sell the most. Lol

There is nothing more valuable than a social media profile that interacts with their clients. Through time your reach grows and as long as you continue to be personal with the people spending their money on your products you will continue to grow!

Never let anyone undervalue your knowledge.
Many will want to build unbalanced business relationships with them (the unskilled one) getting the better half.
Enjoy the ride.

On top of this, base sales price off of the amount you can make per day. I see too many people holding onto product because they want their profit margin to be high when if they had just sold the product they could have bought more raw materials to make more end product to sell more.
Profit per day not profit margin.

I agree with profit per day, but never undervalue your time.
That said, it’s sometimes ok to discount your billable hours. It’s never ok to not be honest about the number of your billable hours.

If your bootstrapping your time is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it.
Once you’re established you can start to demand more for your time because your time is more in demand.

Watch some small business videos on YouTube.
This will cover pretty much everything you need to know that isn’t cannabis.
At the end of the day it’s just widgets and most other business examples crossover for the most part.
